and this is my func

                Ref_BottomPoint_tup = tuple(BottomPoint_Outer)
                OuterLane =cv2.line(OuterLane,Ref_TouchPoint,Ref_BottomPoint_tup,255)

        return MidLane,OuterLane

why it is return None

lane assist. please help me

Answer 1

Your function returns values only if the if(Mid_cnts and Outer_cnts): condition is satisfied. Otherwise it returns None

I suspect you either forgot to write the else block for that condition, or the return instruction should be out of the if block
