Although this method is effective in identifying clear paths, it requires a lot of processing power, for example, to distinguish and classify different objects in the visual image, such as distinguishing a tree on the side of the road from a pedestrian walking towards the curb
These methods are slow or ineffective when dealing with complex situations, or require bulky and expensive equipment to provide the necessary processing power

[0057] After filtering, feature extraction is performed on the selected patches using a feature extraction algorithm (208). A feature extraction algorithm may analyze the selected patch for predetermined features and / or shapes, where predetermined features include, for example, edges, corners, and blemishes; shapes include, for example, circles, ellipses, and lines. Recognizing that some features are meaningful while others are not, the process of selecting features can be used to identify the best set of features for analysis. The classifier training algorithm analyzes each feature and assigns a probability value (210). As mentioned above, the classifiers or logic used in the derivation of probability values are initially trained offline. Training can optionally continue in the vehicle based on fuzzy logic, neural networks, or other learning mechanisms known in the art. These trained classifiers perform a probability analysis based on the extracted features and determine ...

Abstract
The method involves monitoring an image from a camera (110), and analyzing the image through clear path detection analysis to determine a clear path of travel within the image. An area in front of a vehicle (100) is analyzed by utilizing a topographical variation analysis to determine a flat surface upon which the vehicle is made to travel. The clear path of travel and determined flat surface are combined to describe an enhanced clear path of travel. The enhanced clear path of travel is utilized to navigate the vehicle. An independent claim is also included for a system for detecting a clear path of travel for a vehicle.
