1. Application of Edge Detection in Automated Driving ECE 553 Project Tom Kratzke

2. Approach Research current methods of automated driving Perform edge detection on a wide variety of road images –Highway/Street –Busy/Empty –Good Condition/Bad Condition Comment on which current approaches could use Edge Detection

3. Automated Steering Set the steering wheel angle based on picture of road Learning algorithm Can edge detection simplify the incoming image?

4. Bumper to Bumper Stop and Go Driving Automated driver latches on to the back of the car directly in front of it Use centerline and width of vehicle outline to estimate distance Edge detection to find the leading car’s location?

5. Yet to be accomplished Apply edge detection algorithm Decide if edge detection is a viable option to distinguish between the road and surrounding areas –All types of different conditions Decide if edge detection can find the outline of a car from the rear –All types of vehicles
