Abstract :
The intelligence of an ALV (autonomous land vehicle) mostly comes from the vision system of the ALV. In order to improve the intelligence of the vision system, a knowledge-based road scene understanding system KRUS has been built. In the system, a road recognition algorithm combining fusing of edge and region information and using scene knowledge is presented, which makes the KRUS system intelligent enough to recognize road scenes robustly and precisely
