A decision network based frame-work for visual off-road path detection problem

Abstract
This paper describes a decision network based frame-work used for path-detection algorithm development in autonomous vehicle applications. Lane marker detection algorithms do not work in off-road environments. Off-road trails have too much complexity, with widely varying textures and many differing natural boundaries. The authors have developed a general approach. Images are segmented into regions, based on the homogeneity of some pixel properties and the resulting regions are classified as road or not-road by a decision network process. Combinations of contiguous clusters form the path surface, allowing any arbitrary path to be represented
