This project demonstrates a comprehensive Computer Vision Perception System that combines multiple state-of-the-art techniques for autonomous vehicle perception. The system integrates lane detection, object detection, and multi-object tracking to create a robust perception pipeline suitable for autonomous driving applications.
- Traditional Computer Vision: Robust edge detection using Sobel gradients and HLS color space
- Deep Learning Integration: FCN-based road segmentation for enhanced accuracy
- Perspective Transform: Bird's-eye view transformation for lane geometry analysis
- Polynomial Fitting: Second-order polynomial lane line fitting with sanity checks
- Temporal Smoothing: Moving average filtering for stable lane detection
- YOLOv5 Integration: Real-time object detection with 80 COCO classes
- DeepSORT Tracking: Multi-object tracking with Kalman filtering
- Vehicle Classification: Focus on vehicles (car, truck, bus, motorcycle, bicycle)
- Confidence Thresholding: Configurable detection confidence levels
- Perspective Projection: Real-time transformation of detected objects to top-down view
- Spatial Localization: Precise positioning of tracked objects in world coordinates
- Visualization: Real-time BEV map with object positions
