• Abstract: Automated driving technology has gained a lot of momentum in the last few years. For the exploration field, navigation is the important key for autonomous operation. In difficult scenarios such as snowy environment, the road is covered with snow and road detection is impossible in this situation using only basic techniques. This paper introduces detection of snowy road in forest environment using RGB camera. The method combines noise filtering technique with morphological operation to classify the image component. By using the assumption that all road is covered by snow and the snow part is defined as road area. From the perspective image of road, the vanishing point of road is one of factor to scope the region of road. This vanishing point is found with fitting triangle technique. The performance of algorithm is evaluated by two error value: False Negative Rate and False Positive Rate. The error shows that the method has high efficiency for detect road with straight road but low performance for curved road. This road region will be applied with depth information from camera to detect for obstacle in the future work.

Vision-based online road reconstruction promisingly captures road information in advance. Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) perception provides immense potential to more reliable and accurate reconstruction. This paper uniformly proposes two simple yet effective models for road elevation reconstruction in BEV named RoadBEV-mono and RoadBEV-stereo.

  We use the video stream from an onboard camera for online extraction of the surrounding's lane graph. Using video, instead of a single image, as input poses both benefits and challenges in terms of combining the information from different timesteps. A single model of this proposed simple, yet effective, method can process any number of images, including one, to produce accurate lane graphs.
