This paper describes a road recognition method for mobile robot navigation along roads. The method is based on edge point detection by using a camera and a laser range scanner. In order to obtain reliable road detection results while navigation, the robot must evaluate whether detection results seem to be roads or not. In this paper, road continuity is defined for road evaluation. Edge points and their approximate lines are used for road continuity calculation. The experimental results in actual outdoor environments were shown.
