Abstract

In advanced driver assistance system detection of road surfaces is an important task. Few algorithms have been proposed in past to detect the road surfaces based on intensities. However, problem arises in detection process is due to the presence of shadows or wet road surfaces. Here we have proposed a novel algorithm for detection of shadows with the help of machine learning approaches. Initially shadow is being detected with the help of a threshold-based approach followed by windowing-based method. The detected shadow region gets confirmed with the help of a set of features and classifier. The detected shadow or wet pixels are in painted to obtain set of pixels without shadow for road classification problems. The simplicity and accuracy of the algorithm makes it robust and can be used as a part of road surface detection algorithm.

Keywords: Intelligent vehicle, ADAS, Forward difference, Seed point, Windowing.
