A Combined Approach to Stereopsis and Lane-Finding

In this report, the authors propose a new approach for vision based longitudinal and lateral vehicle control. The novelty of this approach is the use of binocular vision. Two modules are integrated, consisting of a new, domain-specific, efficient binocular stereo algorithm, and a lane marker detection algorithm. Integration results show an improved performance for each of the modules.
