ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,380,544, issued on Aug. 5, was assigned to ZHEJIANG GONGSHANG UNIVERSITY (Hangzhou, China).
"Lane detection method integratedly using image enhancement and deep convolutional neural network" was invented by Weigang Chen (Hangzhou, China).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A lane detection method integratedly using image enhancement and a deep convolutional neural network. On the assumption that lanes have similar widths in a local region of an image and a lane can be segmented into several image blocks, each of which contains lane marking in the center, a method based on a deep convolutional neural network is provided to detect lane marking bl...
