CMU: VASC seminar Monday: Jake Sprouse

Lane Structure Modeling and Tracking

Jake Sprouse

Time : Monday, May 8, 2006
3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
(goodies at 3:20pm)
Location : 3305 Newell Simon Hall

Abstract :
In this talk I will discuss recent work in road structure
modeling and tracking as part of the Denso project. Previous work in
lane monitoring has focused on the "ego-lane" and does not attempt to
model adjacent lanes, on/off ramps, intersections, etc... We have
taken preliminary steps towards the broader goal. I will first
present work in detection of stripe-like features using steerable
filters. Then I will discuss our attempt at tracking road stripes
using a multiple-hypothesis linear/Gaussian approach. Finally I will
show preliminary results in using particle filters to track a richer
road structure model.
