However, current methods do not work well for low volume road, which is not well-marked and with noises such as vehicle tracks. A fusion-based method termed Dempster-Shafer-based road detection(DSRD) is proposed to address this issue. This method detects road boundary by combining multiple information sources using Dempster-Shafer theory(DST). In order to test the performance of the proposed method, two field experiments were conducted, one of which was on a highway partially covered by snow and another was on a dense traffic highway. The results show that DSRD is robust and accurate, whose detection rates are 100% and 99.8% compared with manual detection results. Then, DSRD is adopted to improve UAV video processing algorithm, and the vehicle detection and tracking rate are improved by 2.7% and 5.5%,respectively. Also, the computation time has decreased by 5% and 8.3% for two experiments, respectively.展开更多

In this algorithm whenever a point (pixel) is scanned, the k direction codes between the two sides of the point, which is on the edge of an object, are obtained by k-step forward and backward boundary tracking. A comer is determined by the sum of the difference between the two weighted code chains. Note that the whole chain code sequence or boundary of an object is not necessary to be extracted at all in this algorithm, and the corners are obtained immediately once the image is scanned, furthermore, what humans perceive as corners can be detected and localized by this algorithm.展开更多
