Claim:
1. A reconfigurable clear path detection system for a vehicle comprising: an image capture device for capturing images of a scene in a path of travel; a primary clear path detection module determining a clear path in an input image captured from the image capture device; a plurality of secondary clear path detection modules, each secondary clear path detection module configured to independently assist in identifying a respective clear path of the road of travel in the input image, wherein one or more of the secondary clear path detection modules are selectively enabled for assisting in identifying the clear path of the road of travel, wherein only the selectively enabled secondary clear path detection modules are used to identify the clear path of the road of travel in the input image; and a fusion module for collectively analyzing the clear path detection results of the primary clear path detection module and the selectively enabled secondary clear path detection modules for identifying the clear path in the input image.
