Part 1: Advanced Lane Finding

Udacity - Self-Driving Car NanoDegree

Project Code | Project Writeup | Foggy Night | Project Video | Challenge Video

Built Computer Vision software pipeline with Color and Perspective Transforms to identify lane boundaries in a video stream.

The Project

The goals / steps of this project are the following:

  • Compute the camera calibration matrix and distortion coefficients given a set of chessboard images.
  • Apply a distortion correction to raw images.
  • Use color transforms, gradients, etc., to create a thresholded binary image.
  • Apply a perspective transform to rectify binary image ("birds-eye view").
  • Detect lane pixels and fit to find the lane boundary.
  • Determine the curvature of the lane and vehicle position with respect to center.
  • Warp the detected lane boundaries back onto the original image.
  • Output visual display of the lane boundaries and numerical estimation of lane curvature and vehicle position.

Part 2: Vehicle Detection and Tracking

Udacity - Self-Driving Car NanoDegree

Project Code | Project Writeup | Project Video

Created a vehicle detection and tracking pipeline with OpenCV, histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), and support vector machines (SVM). Optimized and evaluated the model on video data from a automotive camera taken during highway driving.

The Project

The goals / steps of this project are the following:

  • Perform a Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature extraction on a labeled training set of images and train a classifier Linear SVM classifier
  • Apply a color transform and append binned color features, as well as histograms of color, to the HOG feature vector.
  • Normalize features and randomize selections for training and testing.
  • Implement a sliding-window technique and use the trained classifier to search for vehicles in images.
  • Run software pipeline on a video stream and create a heat map of recurring detections frame by frame to reject outliers and follow detected vehicles.
  • Estimate a bounding box for vehicles detected.
