Abstract

Vanishing point detection plays a very important role in road detection, since road boundaries pass the vanishing point and the line of boundaries can be extracted by the information of the vanishing point location. In this paper, a fast vanishing point detection method based on texture features is presented for structured road, which uses joint activities of only four Gabor filters to estimate the local dominant orientation at each pixel and votes to estimate the location of vanishing point. Furthermore, a step of edge detection is adopted before vanishing point voting which greatly reduce the computational. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a good performance on the detection of the vanishing point of structured road.
