A method for detection of lane markers

We present a method for the detection of lane markings for a moving motor vehicle with an image recording unit. The imaging unit is directed towards the roadway in front of the vehicle and are analyzed in the image data recorded brightness differences (contrasts) and / or extracted edges. Lane markers are recognized by their periodic arrangement. For evaluating the measurement signal of the image pickup unit is transformed into a different coordinate system, and the auxiliary function thus obtained is analyzed for periodic patterns,.
