An Image Processing Method Reducing Road Marking Line Edge Features for Patrol Robots Identifying Road Boundaries

Abstract

When automatic patrol robots trying to identify road boundaries through edge detection, road marking lines on the road may cause errors. In this regard, this paper proposes a method to process images base on edge detection results, and builds a system based on the method for experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the edge features of road markings lines while preserving the edge features of real boundaries, so that robots can identify real road boundaries.
