Alfred Hero - Interests in Intelligent Vehicles

My interests lie in lane detection and estimation using deformable template models for lane and road boundaries on vehicle mounted multi-spectral image sensors. Most of this work is in collaboration with Sridhar Lakshmanan. Go to Sridhar's web page for more links. Some recent publications in these areas are given below.
