In this project, we have use two approach but the second approach doesnot work well with the Indian Roads.
In this we use a deep learning-based approach to improve upon lane detection. We uses a fully convolutional neural network to output an image of a predicted lane.
Lane detection using Deep Learning
The above result was obtained while running the model with pre-trained model (full_CNN_model.h5), we believe the results will be better after training the model with our own data.

If using Linux or Mac, you can use this conda environment file. In the command line, use conda env create -f lane_environment.yml and then source activate lane_environment to use the environment. This is a slightly modified environment from that used in Term of the Udacity SDCND. Please see the note on moviepy below.
Alternatively, you can use the following:
Python 3.5 or higher. Most of the included code also works in Python 2.7, although the pickle files used for the training images and labels are encoded for use in Python 3 and would need to be loaded and restructured to work in Python 2.7. I would suggest downloading with Anaconda as you will get some of the below
TensorFlow - Suggested to download TensorFlow GPU for best performance
Keras
OpenCV (known as cv2 once downloaded) - opencv-python if installing from command line
h5py
imageio
matplotlib
moviepy
numpy+mkl
scikit-learn
scipy
You can download the full training set of images I used here(https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrh8lrdclzlnxzv/full_CNN_train.p?dl=0) and the full set of 'labels' (which are just the 'G' channel from an RGB image of a re-drawn lane with an extra dimension added to make use in Keras easier) here(https://www.dropbox.com/s/ak850zqqfy6ily0/full_CNN_labels.p?dl=0) (157 MB).
Keep an eye, will be updated soon :)
fully_conv_NN.py -This is the fully convolutional neural network to train using that data.
full_CNN_model.h5 - These are the final outputs from the above CNN. Note that if you train the file above the originals here will be overwritten! These get fed into the below.
draw_detected_lanes.py - Using the trained model and an input video, this predicts the lane, averages across 5 frames, and returns the original video with predicted lane lines drawn onto it.
This approach is based on edge detection using opencv followed by masking the image with region of interest and then applying hough transformation to get the lane lines. Steps to be followed :-
1.Apply some filtering/blurring to get sharp edges & rid of noises in the roads ( we can experiment and choose any one filtering from bilateral filter, gabor filter, trilateral filter )
2.Conversion of image to grayscale ( This is help in improving our processing time).
3.Apply canny detector, to detect the edges.
4.Apply a ROI mask ( to eliminate the non-required elements from the scene).
5.Apply hough transform (this step also requires a vigorous experimentation with tweaking of parameters).
6.Detect the lane lines.
7.Mask the lines to the original image.
This opencv based approach can be visualized by having a look at test.ipynb, where it can be sensed that this approach will completely be a failure , since in indian one will definately encounter some scenes, where the lane markings on the road will either be absent or noisy.

In conclusion improving First Approach by training the model with own data and after that tuning the hyperparameters seems to be best approach for solving lane detection problem in indian roads.
