In this paper, we propose lane marker extraction method using stereovision system and active contour model. It was difficult to entimate 3-dimensional position of lane marker for the most conventional method when the vehicle movement changes the direction of onboard camers, because it was based on the monocular camera. So, we solved this problem using stereovision system. In this method, lane marker is emphasized using geometry of road surface given by the sterevision system, and is robustly extracted using active contour model. It was confirmed that proposed method could extract lane marker by 99.2% or high probalility from long time running examination on a highway.
