Abstract To extract relevant road information quickly and effectively for intelligent vehicles in various road environments, an algorithm for real-time road boundary extraction and obstacle detection based on three-dimensional (3D) lidar is proposed. Firstly, 3D lidar point cloud data is rasterized and filtered, and the single beam laser point cloud spatial segmentation method is employed for spatial analysis to obtain the point cloud smoothness characteristic image. Then, the adaptive direction search algorithm is adopted to obtain the road boundary feature points and perform cluster analysis and curve fitting. Finally, the point cloud in the passable area is clustered and segmented under the road boundary constraint to obtain the obstacle position information. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm extracts road boundary and obstacle location information accurately in real time, and it meets the requirements of environment modeling and path planning for intelligent vehicle.
