     166The next step with our algorithm is to make it work on cases where it fails, in \ref{fig:safe-region}  
     167there is an example of an image where line pixels appear in the assumed safe zone. Further work will  
     168include excluding these pixels from the histogram.  It is possible that this 
    168169could be done by excluding portions of the ``safe zone'' which exceed a 
    169170threshold in brightness, or to apply the previous image's histogram to the safe 
    170 zone and exclude those pixels that fall far outside it. There is also work to 
     171zone and exclude those pixels that fall far outside it. Another case where our algorithm fails is 
     172is in \ref{fig:hough-failure}. The obstacle very close to the camera in the image includes more texture than our 
     173algoristhm expects of an obastacle, and missclassifies it as a set of line pixels.  
     174A similar problem occurs where regions further away may have lower texture than grassy regions 
     175nearer the camera. One solution may be to add to the percieved texture in an image based on height within  
     176the image. There is also work to 
    171177be done for it to be run on the robot. The algorithm must be able to run in 
    172178real time to support live decision-making, which means that it must be ported
