Detection of road regions is not a trivial problem especially in unstructured and/or off-road domains since traversable regions of these environments do not have common properties unlike urban roads or highways. In this paper a novel unstructured road detection algorithm that can continuously learn the road region is proposed. The algorithm gathers close-range stereovision data and uses this information to estimate the long-range road region. The experiments show that the algorithm gives satisfactory results even under changing light conditions.

It is a hard to solve problem to detect traversable or road regions especially in unstructured roads or paths. In mobile robot applications, robots usually enter these kinds of roads and regions. To successfully complete its mission, it is important to find roads in these environments reliably. In this paper a novel unstructured road detection algorithm with the capability of learning road regions continuously is proposed.

Parallel Hybrid Genetic Algorithm and GIS-Based Optimization for Municipal Solid Waste Collection Routing
Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Uşkay, S. Onur; Aksoy, Ayşegül (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2016-01-01)
A vast majority of studies on municipal solid waste (MSW) collection routing do not consider the constraints pertinent to actual road networks such as unidirectional roads and terrain characteristics. As a result, good practices such as the avoidance of U-turns cannot be used. This study introduces geographic information system (GIS)-integrated software (RouteSW) for the optimization of MSW collection routes by considering path constraints. The software uses a parallelized hybrid genetic algorithm (PHGA) to...
Characteristics of cloverleaf interchange in Turkey
Yalçın, Esra Gözde; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative key attribute for monitoring traffic performance of road infrastructure. As interchanges are major but rather limited designs in road networks, providing uninterrupted flow with high capacities, there is a no LOS concept developed for them. However, data collection capability via Bluetooth (BT) readers located at interchange approaches make it possible to collect continuous speed and travel time data for all possible movements, which can lead to a measure for LOS for ...
Fourier Based Feature Descriptors for Railroad Extraction from Aerial Images
KARAMAN, ERSİN; Cinar, UMUT; GEDİK, Ekin; ÇETİN, YASEMİN; Halıcı, Uğur (2012-12-27)
The aim of this study is to automatically differentiate railroads from roads obtained by a general road extraction algorithm. In high resolution aerial images, the sleepers between railroad tracks depict a distinctive texture from other elongated objects. By employing this additional cue, a new Fourier based feature descriptor is developed to distinguish railroad objects in aerial images. After local Fourier features calculation, the periodic railroad texture is locally detected in the frequency domain.
