    Abstract: The apparatus of the present disclosure detects a preceding vehicle and a white dashed line provided at regular intervals along a road from an image captured by a monocular camera. In addition, the apparatus of the present disclosure acquires speed information of the host vehicle. Then, the apparatus of the present disclosure counts the number of white dashed lines included in the section from the vertical position of the preceding vehicle to the lower fixed reference position of the vertical position in the camera image, and detects the deceleration of the preceding vehicle based on the time-series transition of the number of white dashed lines and the speed information of the host vehicle.

    Abstract: A processor-implemented method with lane line determination includes: determining, from an input image, road feature information comprising a surrounding object and a road surface marking comprising a lane line; matching the road feature information to lane lines of a driving road on which a vehicle is driving; detecting whether there is a change in a road structure based on a result of the matching, wherein the change in the road structure comprises any one or any combination of any two or more of a change of the lane line, a loss of the lane line, and a change of a road sign; and based on whether the change in the road structure is detected, determining lane line information of the driving road by using information on the surrounding object.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying water on a road surface via ultrasonic return intensity analysis are provided. The method comprises generating, using a processor, a road surface mapping of a road surface of an environment of a vehicle, transmitting, using one or more ultrasonic transducers, one or more ultrasonic waves in a direction of the road surface, receiving, using the one or more ultrasonic transducers, one or more returned ultrasonic waves, wherein the one or more returned ultrasonic waves return to the one or more ultrasonic transducers after reflecting off the road surface, determining an intensity of the one or more returned ultrasonic waves, and, when the intensity is below a threshold intensity, determining that a location at which the returned ultrasonic waves reflected off of the road surface has water present.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a degree of wetness of a road surface from Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point clouds are provided. The method comprises generating, using a LiDAR system, at least one point cloud, wherein the LiDAR system comprises a processor, and, using the processor, identifying and isolating one or more road surface points within a point cloud of the at least one point cloud, wherein the one or more road surface points indicate a road surface portion within an environment of the point cloud, analyzing the one or more road surface points to determine a number of the one or more road surface points that are zero intensity returns, and, based on the number of zero intensity returns, determining a degree of wetness of the road surface.
