Özet

Lane detection plays a vital role in self-driving cars and advanced driver assistance systems as it helps cars to position themselves within the road and avoid collision. A machine learning technique known as Transfer Learning was used in this study. TL is the reuse of a previously developed model for a task as the starting point for a new one with no need for a big dataset. VGG-16, a 16 layers convolutional neural network trained on more than million images for classifying images into 1000 object categories, was used in this study. This model was selected as the starting point to perform semantic segmentation which is evaluating each pixel in the image and categorizing it into a specific class. The Cambridge DrivingLabeled Video Database (CamVid) which provides ground truth labels as each pixel associated to one of the 32 semantic classes was used in the study for both training and test purposes changing the classes from 32 to 2 as Lanes and Others. Based on the experimental results the lane detection accuracy was 97.42% under various illumination conditions and presence of shadows on the road. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method in reducing learning time and improving performance, making it suitable for real-time applications.
