Road Marker Classification Using Geometrical Features With Slope Contour

Driving down and up the roads requires safe manoeuvre to avoid collisions or congestions, subject to the traffic and road conditions, which are regulated by the road markers painted along the roads. As the research in the road lane departures for intelligent transport systems gains huge interest in...
