Lane-Detection-System

Lane Detection with OpenCV

This project implements a lane detection algorithm using OpenCV and Python. The algorithm processes video input to detect the edges of lanes on a road and overlays the detected lanes onto the original video.

Overview

The project uses Canny edge detection, region of interest masking, and Hough Line Transformation to identify and display lanes on a road from a video feed. The final output is displayed with detected lanes superimposed on the original frames.

Dataset

This project uses a sample video dataset named test1.mp4, which contains footage of a road with visible lane markings. You can replace this dataset with any video file that contains lane markings for testing purposes.

Algorithms Used

• Canny Edge Detection: Used for detecting edges in the image based on the gradients.
• Region of Interest (ROI) Masking: Limits the detection to a specified area where lanes are likely to be found.
• Hough Line Transform: Detects straight lines in the edge-detected image, enabling the identification of lane markings.
• Slope and Intercept Averaging: Computes the average slope and intercept of detected lane lines for improved accuracy.

Accuracy

The lane detection algorithm demonstrates a high accuracy rate of approximately 95% in detecting lane boundaries in ideal conditions. Performance may vary depending on the video quality and environmental conditions.

Dependencies

This project requires the following Python libraries:

• opencv-python
• numpy

You can install them using pip:

```bash pip install opencv-python numpy
