A key requirement in the development of intelligent and driverless vehicles is steering angle computation for efficient navigation. This paper presents a novel method for computing steering angle for driverless vehicles using computer vision-based techniques of relatively lower computing cost. The proposed system consists of four major stages. The first stage includes dynamic road region extraction using Gaussian mixture model and expectation maximization algorithm. The second stage is to compute the steering angle based on the extracted road region. Subsequently, Kalman filtering technique is used to cancel spurious angle transition noises. In addition, future steering angle is estimated which in turn gives informative feedback for smooth navigation of the vehicle. The proposed algorithm was tested both on a simulator and real-time images and was found to give a good estimation of actual steering angle required for navigation. Further, it was also observed that this works in different lighting conditions as well as for both structured and unstructured road scenarios.

Obstacle detection and target tracking are two major issues for intelligent autonomous vehicles. This paper proposes a new scheme to achieve target tracking and real-time obstacle detection of obstacles based on computer vision. ResNet-18 deep learning neural network is utilized for obstacle detection and Yolo-v3 deep learning neural network is employed for real-time target tracking. These two trained models can be deployed on an autonomous vehicle equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson Nano motherboard. The autonomous vehicle moves to avoid obstacles and follow tracked targets by camera. Adjusting the steering and movement of the autonomous vehicle according to the PID algorithm during the movement, therefore, will help the proposed vehicle achieve stable and precise tracking.

This project explores how raw image data obtained from AV cameras can provide a model with more spatial information than can be learned from simple RGB images alone. This paper leverages the advances of deep neural networks to demonstrate steering angle predictions of autonomous vehicles through an end-to-end multi-channel CNN model using only the image data provided from an onboard camera. Image data is processed through existing neural networks to provide pixel segmentation and depth estimates and input to a new neural network along with the raw input image to provide enhanced feature signals from the environment. Various input combinations of Multi-Channel CNNs are evaluated, and their effectiveness is compared to single CNN networks using the individual data inputs. The model with the most accurate steering predictions is identified and performance compared to previous neural networks.

Presently computer vision is amongst the hottest topics in Artificial Intelligence and is being extensively used in Robotics, Detecting Objects, Classification of Images, Autonomous Vehicles & tracking, Semantic Segmentation along with photo correction in various apps. In Self driven cars/ vehicles, vision remains the main source of information for detecting lanes, traffic lights, pedestrian crossing and other visual features. [2]
