ABSTRACT:
The configuration of a path for motor vehicles is recognized on the basis of image data produced by a television camera or the like. Feature points contained in original image data of the path are determined, and a group of straight lines approximating the array of the feature points are also determined. From the group of straight lines, there are extracted straight lines which are effective to determine boundaries of the path. The extracted straight lines divided into a plurality of line segments by points of intersection between the straight lines. The line segments are then checked against the feature points of the original image data to determine whether the line segments correspond to the boundaries of the path. The original image data may be divided into a plurality of areas, and the above process may be carried out with respect to the image data in each of the areas.
