The advance-lane-detection-doble-cariil--color from yersoncv

Advanced Lane Detection

The goals / steps of this project are the following:

Compute the camera calibration matrix and distortion coefficients given a set of chessboard images.
Apply a distortion correction to raw images.
Use color transforms, gradients, etc., to create a thresholded binary image.
Apply a perspective transform to rectify binary image ("birds-eye view").
Detect lane pixels and fit to find the lane boundary.
Determine the curvature of the lane and vehicle position with respect to center.
Warp the detected lane boundaries back onto the original image.
Output visual display of the lane boundaries and numerical estimation of lane curvature and vehicle position.

My Approach :

Project Pipeline

Calibrate Camera
Undistort Frame
Gradient Threshold
Color Threshold.
Combine Threshold
Perspective Transform
Find Lines
Measure Curvature
Measure Position.

Calibrate Camera :

BGR Color Space if it is OpenCV library or RGB if Matplotlib.
Chessboard image, given.
Grzayscale should be applied. : Grayscale Images are single channel Binary Images.
Output Parameters : Camera Matrix, Distort Coefficient.

Undistrot Frame

Image BGR is fed in.
One Function which could give us undistorted images.
Output is undistorted frame in BGR.

Gradient Threshold.

What king of Gradient Threshold?
X,Y
Magnitude and Direction of the Gradient.
Combine Everything.
Magnitude and Direction finds its application in much more advnced application.
Output is a Binary Image.

Color Threshold

Change the Color Space.
Apply various color spaces such as HSV, HLS, RGB, LAB, etc.
Output : Binary Image.

Combine Thresholds.

Apply combination of the various applied color threshold, or gradient threshold to obtain an image with granular level detail.
Output : Binary Image

Perspective Transform

Define the Source and the Destination points, which would help in transforming the image and could help oin the transformed image as the destination points plottted on to the transformed image.
Output: Warped Image, Binary, Different azShape.

Find Lines

Get the parameters useful to calculate the curvature.
Find and place the Left and Right Lanes , filter for noise.

Calculate Curvature

A methoed to calculate the Curvature using the equation could help us define a curvature with which the lane is turning.
Output: Curvature of the Left and the Right lane

Calculate Position

This Would return a positional value the car on the frame.

Final Image

Multiple Parameters in a Sequential list.
For every frame, the Functions are called again and again.
Suggestions by the mentor : Create Global variables or use Classes to provide acces throughout.

Briefly state how you computed the camera matrix and distortion coefficients. Provide an example of a distortion corrected calibration image.

I started by preparing "object points", which will be the (x, y, z) coordinates of the chessboard corners in the world. Here I am assuming the chessboard is fixed on the (x, y) plane at z=0, such that the object points are the same for each calibration image. Thus, objp is just a replicated array of coordinates, and objpoints will be appended with a copy of it every time I successfully detect all chessboard corners in a test image. imgpoints will be appended with the (x, y) pixel position of each of the corners in the image plane with each successful chessboard detection.

I then used the output objpoints and imgpoints to compute the camera calibration and distortion coefficients using the cv2.calibrateCamera() function. I applied this distortion correction to the test image using the cv2.undistort() function

A Note on Combining Thresholds

Describe how (and identify where in your code) you used color transforms, gradients or other methods to create a thresholded binary image. Provide an example of a binary image result

Sobel detection refers to computing the gradient magnitude of an image using 3x3 filters. Where "gradient magnitude" is, for each a pixel, a number giving the greatest rate of change in light intensity in the direction where intensity is changing fastest. Even though using Sobel, a lot of Noise had picked up, thus I tried combining the Hue, Lightness and the Satturation to detect the yellow and the white lines. I tried Using various Color Spaces Such as YUV, HSV, LAB. All the color spaces where helpful, but I ended up choosing th HLS.

Instead of edge detection, I used adaptive thresholding to further boost the line detection since the videos, especially the challenge videos, have lighting variations. Below the overpass in the challenge video, and constant switch between tree shadows and sunlight in the hard challenge video are all examples of lighting variations. Most edge detection approaches and color scheme based filters require a static threshold, which makes line detection harder.

The Threhold Applied Where:

Light Channel : 200, 255
Saturation Channel : 100, 255

Draw - Lanes

I tried implementing a two point solution, where there would be two lane regions which detects the left lane from the center, and the other one detects the right lane from the center of the lane. I also wanted to implement a locking mechanism which would lock the lane region once the road is seen with divider on both sides

Get-Lanes

This method helps in combining the mathematical formulaes to display on top of the video. The Vehicle position along with the direction of the car. On my opinion, I think this could be used to calculate and predict the state of the motion model(Vehicle) by fusing this information with an IMU. This could possibly help in the sensor fusion along with the heading and the Yaw rate

Describe how (and identify where in your code) you calculated the radius of curvature of the lane and the position of the vehicle with respect to center.

The code to compute the radius of curvature from the course notes was obtained. Using the lanes, we can compute the position of the vehicle.
In addition, I also tried to check if the vechicle is going straight, turning left or turning right based on the lines. The images below show the direction of turn.

Further Improvements :

Adaptive thresholding when combined with other image processing techniques such as histogram equalization, contrast adjustments or brightness adjustments could yield better results. I tried histogram equalization, but that had little to no effect.
While the region of interest was both useful in general, it cut off parts of the lane in several challenging cases. One improvement would be to adjust the bird eye view to account for thisIt is possible for us to learn the presence of lane lines, and predict if a region is a lane or not. That might help mitigate some of the effects of lighting.
Improved Detection of lanes Can help in exact a calculation of state estimate using a Kalman or an Extended Kalman Filter that may Update and Predict our State using Sensors and various other computer Vision technique.
