KRUS: a knowledge-based road scene understanding system

The intelligence of an ALV (autonomous land vehicle) mostly comes from the vision system of the ALV. In order to improve the intelligence of the vision system, a knowledge-based road scene understanding system KRUS has been built. In the system, a road recognition algorithm combining fusing of edge and region information and using scene knowledge is presented, which makes the KRUS system intelligent enough to recognize road scenes robustly and precisely.
