Apparatus for generating digital lane mark
First Claim
1. A digital lane mark generation apparatus in a vehicle for generating a digital lane mark indicating the driving orbit of a vehicle, comprising:
- Gps coordinate reception means for obtaining gps coordinates which are global geodetic coordinates (x, y, z) of the vehicle from a gps satellite;
gyro sensor means for calculating measurement values of a gradient (ψ
, θ
, φ
) by measuring a gradient of the vehicle;
one or more cameras for photographing the outside of the vehicle as a camera image; and
digital lane mark generation means for generating a digital lane mark indicating the driving orbit of the vehicle, by relating said global geodetic coordinates (x, y, z), said measurement values of the gradient (ψ
, θ
, φ
), and a camera image, to a standard time (t), and by using a line segment (s), a circular arc (r), a clothoid curve (a), an altitude (z), a longitudinal gradient, and/or a crossing gradient cant.
