Many people die each year in roadway departure crashes caused by driver inattention. Lane detection systems are useful in avoiding these accidents as safety is the main purpose of these systems. Such systems have the goal to detect the lane marks and to warn the driver in case the vehicle has a tendency to depart from the lane. A lane detection system is an important element of many intelligent transport systems. Lane detection is a challenging task because of the varying road conditions that one can come across while driving. In the past few years, numerous approaches for lane detection were proposed and successfully demonstrated. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the literature in lane detection techniques is presented. The main objective of this paper is to discover the limitations of the existing lane detection methods. (Author/publisher)
