ABSTRACT
Road detection is an important research subject in autonomous driving. Both accuracy and efficiency are very important for road detection used in autonomous driving systems. However, these two properties are usually contradictory under certain calculation resources. In this paper, we make a good compromise between accuracy and efficiency by proposing a dual-stage detecting strategy, which consists of a fast Hough transform based road detection method and a reliable vanishing point based method. A dynamic region of interest (ROI) is proposed as a connector of the two stages. Experiments prove that our method can achieve good performance on both accuracy and efficiency.
