Vanishing Point Detection

• Parallel lines in 3D space are projected into lines that converge to a point (perhaps at infinity) known as a vanishing point (VP).

• VPs provide crucial information about the 3D structure of the scene.

  • Applications as camera calibration, single-view 3D scene reconstruction, autonomous navigation, and semantic scene parsing.

• For curvy roads, the vanishing point does not exist, though as the direction of the tangent on the car position on the curve.

• VP detection from lane marknigs: (i) Hough transform, and (ii) intersection of the lane lines.

  • Standard Hough Transform, and Progressive Probabilistic Hough Transform.

• MSAC (M-estimator SAmpling and Consensus) detect multiple finite and infinite vanishing points given an input set of line segments.
