Finding Lane Lines for Self Driving Cars
summary
A concrete pipeline uses Python and OpenCV to undistort, warp to bird’s-eye view, apply Gaussian blur, color thresholds, Canny and Sobel edge detection, Hough/probabilistic fitting and numpy polyfit to produce lane curves and a filled drivable polygon over dashcam video. It works reliably on highway footage from the Udacity dataset, runs slowly in this demo (20s video -> 3.5 minutes), degrades with occlusions or tight corners, and falls back to method two uses prior fit for speed and robustness.
