Multi-Camera and Multi-Algorithm Architecture for Visual Perception Onboard the ATLASCAR2.

My Master's Thesis Blog

Visual Perception of the road lines/boundaries

Visual Perception of the road lanes/boundaries includes to implement artificial vision techniques in order to extract the road lines in an image that came from a camera.

My purpose with this thesis is to develop a solution that complements a great ROS software architecture with Visual Perception of road lanes algorithms.
