This is like giving a car very sharp eyes that can spot and understand all the painted lines and symbols on the road (lane lines, arrows, crosswalks) so it can stay in the correct lane and follow road rules automatically.
Manual rule‑based lane and road‑marking detection in advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS) is brittle and struggles in real‑world conditions (worn paint, shadows, rain, curves). This research applies modern AI/computer vision so vehicles can more reliably detect and classify horizontal road markings, improving lane keeping, navigation, and safety.
Defensible advantage comes from high‑quality annotated road‑scene datasets, tuning models to local road standards and conditions, and tight integration with the vehicle perception and control stack; the algorithms themselves are largely based on well‑known deep learning/computer‑vision methods.

Unknown
High (Custom Models/Infra)
Real-time inference on embedded automotive hardware (compute and power limits) and robustness across diverse environments (weather, lighting, different countries’ road markings).
Early Majority
Focus on horizontal road markings (lines, symbols, crosswalks) as a dedicated perception task for ADAS/autonomous driving, rather than generic object detection; likely optimized for classification of multiple marking types and operation in real driving conditions.
