Automatic Integrated Technique for Road Detection & Tracking

Abstract

Implementation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has recreated the detection, navigation and tracking of respective region in novel way to get accuracy and reliability in reliable way. UAV navigation, traffic monitoring, and ground–vehicle tracking attain attention due to their requirement in daily needs and usage of the UAV videos has made task easy especially in construction of roads and its associated works even in remote areas. In this paper based on two important algorithms is proposed for detection of exact region for extraction and this is done by graph-cut–based detection approach in initial stage while road tracking in automatic way is done by fast homography-based road-tracking scheme. Efficiency and performance of the proposed work is attributed to two aspects: the road detection is performed only when it is necessary and most work in locating the road is rapidly done via very fast homography-based tracking. Finally experimental results attain promising results over traditional state of art methods.
