A new technique to extract road edges in the roadfollowing algorithm for autonomous road vehicle navigation is described. It is based on finding road edges on a subsampled plan-view of a portion of the road ahead of the vehicle. The method is illustrated in the real-time identification of road edges using a fast vertical edge detector and link operator applied to the transformed plan view. Location of both road edges at 20 frames per second is demonstrated.
