In this paper, we present a novel model to detect lane regions and extract lane departure events (changes and incursions) from challenging, lower-resolution videos recorded with mobile cameras. Our algorithm used a Mask-RCNN based lane detection model as pre-processor. Recently, deep learning-based models provide state-of-the-art technology for object detection combined with segmentation. Among the several deep learning architectures, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) outperformed other machine learning models, especially for region proposal and object detection tasks. Recent development in object detection has been driven by the success of region proposal methods and region-based CNNs (R-CNNs). Our algorithm utilizes lane segmentation mask for detection and Fix-lag Kalman filter for tracking, rather than the usual approach of detecting lane lines from single video frames. The algorithm permits detection of driver lane departures into left or right lanes from continuous lane detections. Preliminary results show promise for robust detection of lane departure events. The overall sensitivity for lane departure events on our custom test dataset is 81.81 .
The objective of Lane Departure Prediction (LDP) is to predict if the driver is likely to leave the lane with the goal of warning drivers in advance of the lane departure so that they may correct the error before it occurs (avoiding a potential collision). This improves on LDW systems, which simply alert the driver to the error after it has occurred. LDP algorithms can be classified into one of the following three categories: vehicle-variable-based, vehicle-position estimation, and detection of the lane boundary using real-time captured road images. They all use real-time captured images @cite_17 .

This paper presents a lane-departure identification (LDI) system of a traveling vehicle on a structured road with lane marks. As is the case with modified version of the previous EDF-based LDI approach [J.W. Lee, A machine vision system for lane-departure detection, CVIU 86 (2002) 52-78], the new system increases the number of lane-related parameters and introduces departure ratios to determine the instant of lane departure and a linear regression (LR) to minimize wrong decisions due to noise effects. To enhance the robustness of LDI, we conceive of a lane boundary pixel extractor (LBPE) capable of extracting pixels expected to be on lane boundaries. Then, the Hough transform utilizes the pixels from the LBPE to provide the lane-related parameters such as an orientation and a location parameter. The fundamental idea of the proposed LDI is based on an observation that the ratios of orientations and location parameters of left- and right-lane boundaries are equal to one as far as the optical axis of a camera mounted on a vehicle is coincident with the center of lane. The ratios enable the lane-related parameters and the symmetrical property of both lane boundaries to be connected. In addition, the LR of the lane-related parameters of a series of successive images plays the role of determining the trend of a vehicle's traveling direction and the error of the LR is used to avoid a wrong LDI. We show the efficiency of the proposed LDI system with some real images. Abstract Statistics show that worldwide motor vehicle collisions lead to significant deaths and disabilities as well as substantial financial costs to both society and the individuals involved. Unintended lane departure is a leading cause of road fatalities by the collision. To reduce the number of traffic accidents and to improve driver’s safety lane departure warning (LDW), the system has emerged as a promising tool. Vision-based lane detection and departure warning system has been investigated over two decades. During this period, many different problems related to lane detection and departure warning have been addressed. This paper provides an overview of current LDW system, describing in particular pre-processing, lane models, lane de Ntection techniques and departure warning system. Misunderstanding of driver correction behaviors is the primary reason for false warnings of lane-departure-prediction systems. We proposed a learning-based approach to predict unintended lane-departure behaviors and chances of drivers to bring vehicles back to the lane. First, a personalized driver model for lane-departure and lane-keeping behavior is established by combining the Gaussian mixture model and the hidden Markov model. Second, based on this model, we developed an online model-based prediction algorithm to predict the forthcoming vehicle trajectory and judge whether the driver will act a lane departure behavior or correction behavior. We also develop a warning strategy based on the model-based prediction algorithm that allows the lane-departure warning system to be acceptable for drivers according to the predicted trajectory. In addition, the naturalistic driving data of ten drivers were collected to train the personalized driver model and validate this approach. We compared the proposed method with a basic time-to-lane-crossing (TLC) method and a TLC-directional sequence of piecewise lateral slopes (TLC-DSPLS) method. Experimental results show that the proposed approach can reduce the false-warning rate to 3.13 on average at 1-s prediction time. In this paper, a technique for the identification of the unwanted lane departure of a traveling vehicle on a road is proposed. A piecewise linear stretching function (PLSF) is used to improve the contrast level of the region of interest (ROI). Lane markings on the road are detected by dividing the ROI into two subregions and applying the Hough transform in each subregion independently. This segmentation approach improves the computational time required for lane detection. For lane departure identification, a distance-based departure measure is computed at each frame, and a necessary warning message is issued to the driver when such measure exceeds a threshold. The novelty of the proposed algorithm is the identification of the lane departure only using three lane-related parameters based on the Euclidean distance transform to estimate the departure measure. The use of the Euclidean distance transform in combination with the PLSF keeps the false alarm around 3 and the lane detection rate above 97 under various lighting conditions. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system can detect lane boundaries in the presence of several image artifacts, such as lighting changes, poor lane markings, and occlusions by a vehicle, and it issues an accurate lane departure warning in a short time interval. The proposed technique shows the efficiency with some real video sequences.
