Lane Detection Reference Line Selection for Worn Markings

The patent segments the lane detection task into multiple independent detection processes that operate in parallel. Each process detects lane lines using different parameters or methods, and the results are combined to determine the final lane boundary. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high accuracy even when individual detection methods fail due to worn or faded lane lines.

The patent merges multiple lane line detection results into a single comprehensive detection outcome. By combining information from multiple detection processes that use different parameters and methods, the system creates a more robust and accurate lane boundary determination that overcomes the limitations of any single detection method.

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining multiple detection parameters and detection methods before the actual lane detection task. This preparation allows the system to quickly execute multiple detection processes in parallel during runtime, improving reliability without proportionally increasing processing time. The preliminary setup of detection frameworks enables efficient concurrent execution.

The patent implements partial detection by focusing on key lane line parameters and characteristics rather than performing exhaustive analysis on all possible features. This selective approach allows multiple detection methods to be applied efficiently, achieving high reliability through targeted detection rather than comprehensive analysis, thus reducing overall processing time.
