Lane detection plays an important role in intelligent vehicle systems. Therefore, this paper presents a robust road lane marker detection algorithm to detect the left and right lane markers. The algorithm consists of optimization of Canny edge detection and Hough Transform. The system captures images from a front viewing vision sensor placed facing the road behind the windscreen as input. Then a series of image processing is applied to generate the road model. Canny edge detection performs features recognition then followed by Hough Transform lane generation. The algorithm detects visible left and right lane markers on the road based on real-time video processing.
