Abstract:
The disclosure includes a method that receives a real-time image of a road from a camera sensor communicatively coupled to an onboard computer of a vehicle. The method includes dividing the real-time image into superpixels. The method includes merging the superpixels to form superpixel regions. The method includes generating prior maps from a dataset of road scene images. The method includes drawing a set of bounding boxes where each bounding box surrounds one of the superpixel regions. The method includes comparing the bounding boxes in the set of bounding boxes to a road prior map to identify a road region in the real-time image. The method includes pruning bounding boxes from the set of bounding boxes to reduce the set to remaining bounding boxes. The method may include using a categorization module that identifies the presence of a road scene object in the remaining bounding boxes.

Claim (Index 11):
The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , the steps further comprising:\n generating prior maps from a dataset of road scene images; wherein identifying the set of objects in the road region based on the proximity of each of the candidate regions to the road region and the size of each of the candidate regions includes comparing the size of each of the candidate regions to the prior maps.
