[dividing line controls when lacking]
In the following, the dividing line to thread mark identification part 132 and action plan generating unit 150 by identification part 130 lacks When the content of processing that executes of control unit 152 be illustrated.
As described above, the road dividing line in the main image according to obtained from being shot as camera 10 in identification part 130 Position identify traveling lane.Fig. 3 is the figure for showing an example of shooting image IM of camera 10.Originally this vehicle M is illustrated to exist The scene travelled on super expressway.Mirror the lane L1's for dividing that this vehicle M is being travelled in the shooting image IM of diagram Road dividing line LM1 and LM2, the road dividing line LM2 and LM3 that divide adjacent lane L2, guardrail GR, side wall SW etc..These figures Picture element becomes linear or curvilinear, also, the contrast (luminance difference) between side images in outline portion is larger, Therefore, position can be relatively easily identified by image recognition.For example, (adjacent with transverse direction by connection horizontal edge The biggish pixel of contrast between pixel), the profile of road dividing line can be identified, by connection vertical edge (with longitudinal direction Adjacent pixel between the biggish pixel of contrast), can identify the upper end UE (GR) of guardrail and the upper end UE (SW) of side wall. In principle, part in road dividing line, in the prescribed limit in shooting image IM is considered as division originally by identification part 130 The road dividing line in lane, the region that identification is divided by them is as traveling lane.
Then, action plan generating unit 150 generates target track (in lane in a manner of being not principally deviate from traveling lane Change, branch in the case where converging, switch traveling lane in midway).Therefore, in the control of automatic Pilot, institute can be identified Become important element along lane.
Here, identification part 130 not necessarily can brightly identify road dividing line always.For example, utilizing white line or yellow line Describe the road dividing line of type in the road sometimes due to deteriorating year in year out and generating abrasion.In addition, in road construction, receiving Take the periphery at place under such circumstances, it is also possible to which there are the roads of no road dividing line.In turn, it is also possible to generate due to existing In the scene that other vehicles on the periphery of this vehicle M etc. can not shoot road dividing line by camera 10.In the following, will Such various scenes are referred to as " when dividing line lacks ".In dividing line missing, this vehicle M is also required to be gone along road It sails, it is therefore preferable that carrying out certain replacement processing.
In light of this situation, the identification of thread mark identification part 132 is present in the height different from road and from overhead The thread mark extended along the road.In the example in figure 3, upper end UE (SW) phase of the upper end UE (GR) of guardrail and side wall When in thread mark.In addition, be difficult to be identified when other vehicles etc. enter between thread mark and camera 10, it is therefore, excellent Selecting thread mark is to be set to the object more closer to the top than camera 10.It is, for example, the upper end UE of side wall SW with this comparable object (SW).In the following, thread mark identification part 132 is as the position on the shooting image IM of the upper end UE (SW) of identification side wall SW Part is illustrated.
Thread mark identification part 132 for example identifies the position for constituting multiple pixels of upper end UE (SW) of side wall SW.So Afterwards, thread mark identification part 132 makes the position of multiple pixels be similar to straight line, is identified as the straight line in the plane of delineation. In contrast, the steering angle of 152 couples of this vehicle M of control unit carries out feedback control when dividing line lacks, so that the inclination of straight line It is fixed.
