Abstract
A method of annotating road images, the method comprising implementing, at an image processing system, the following steps: receiving a time sequence of two dimensional images as captured by an image capture device of travelling vehicle; processing the images to reconstruct, in three-dimensional space, a path travelled by the vehicle; using the reconstructed vehicle path to determine expected road structure extending along the reconstructed vehicle path; and generating road annotation data for marking at least one of the images with an expected road structure location, by performing a geometric projection of the expected road structure in three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional plane of that image.
