Lane-closure and merge warning from dashcam video
Seeing cones is easy. Understanding the lane closure they create is what matters. Our system turns cones into a decision: which lane is closed, which way to merge, and how far away the taper is.
How it works
- The detector is simply told to look for “traffic cones” — no labelled training data needed.
- Cones are tracked and placed on the ground in real meters.
- A line is fitted through the cones to find the taper and the closed lane.
- The overlay shows the merge line, the closed lane, the merge direction and the distance to the taper.
Who it's for
Autonomous vehicle and ADAS teams, road safety programs, work-zone contractors and fleet safety.
Questions
Does it need color to find cones?
No. Our test video was black and white; the system worked from shape and geometry.
How does it know the distance?
Cones have a known size, so their size in the image gives the range. The system cross-checks this by recovering the camera's mounting height.
Can it run in a vehicle?
Yes, it can be optimized for in-vehicle hardware.
