1. A detection system, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device programmed to;
receive a plurality of images of an area output from at least one camera via a data interface;
determine a plurality of road edge line candidates from and within the plurality of images of the area; and
identify, based on the road edge line candidates, a region in the plurality of images that corresponds to a road surface and a region in the plurality of images that corresponds to an off-road surface.

Abstract
A detection system for a vehicle is provided. The detection system may include at least one image capture device configured to acquire a plurality of images of an area forward of the vehicle, the area including a curb separating a road surface from an off-road surface and a data interface. The detection system may also include at least one processing device programmed to receive the plurality of images via the data interface, and determine a plurality of curb edge line candidates in the plurality of images. The at least one processing device may be further programmed to identify at least one edge line candidate as an edge line of the curb.
