Abstract

The visual guidance of AGV (automated guided vehicle) has gradually become one of the most important perception methods. Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to extract lane line accurately when AGV is running in complex working environment (such as uneven illumination, overexposure, lane line is not obvious, etc.), a scheme of lane line recognition under complex environment is proposed. Firstly, the variable scale image correction is carried out for the uneven illumination area in ROI (region of interest), and the threshold of Canny algorithm is adjusted adaptively according to the luminance of ROI region by Fuzzy-Canny algorithm; Secondly, the edge points matching the lane width feature are extracted by the way of aerial view. Finally, the curve fitting method based on RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus) is used to fit a curve with the lowest error rate and then get the lane center curve. The experimental results show that the processing algorithm used in this paper is feasible and effective, has strong robustness and fast computing performance, and can meet the requirements of intelligent AGV in various complex environments.
