METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING DRIVABLE ROAD REGIONS FOR SAFE NAVIGATION OF AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Abstract:

The present disclosure discloses method and a road region determination system for determining drivable road regions for safe navigation of an autonomous vehicle. The road region determination system receives real-time images of road in which autonomous vehicle is travelling, from image sensors. Each of real-time images of road is segmented into polygon regions and trend lines to obtain plurality of features using pre-trained road segmentation model. An orientation of the road is identified in real-time images as one of linear orientation and non-linear orientation based on slope measured between successive intermediate points distributed evenly on trend lines. The road region determination system manages redistribution of intermediate points on trend lines based on orientation of the road. Thereafter, paired points from intermediate points redistributed on the trend lines is identified, where paired points are connected using a horizontal line to determine drivable road regions for autonomous vehicle.
