Getting started in ComputerVision/Road Tracking

I want to develop a system that can track and follow a road. Initially, I'd like to handle well-defined roads only and maybe later incorporate tracking for roads that aren't so well defined.

The problem I'm facing is that I don't know where to get started. I am new to image processing and I was hoping I could get some pointers on where to start off and what books to read on the subject. I am an 'experienced' programmer (I can program in C and Python fairly well, and can handle C++ and Objective-C), so the code itself isn't that big of an issue - its just "where do I start? what do I read?" thats confusing me. I am also open on learning another language if it helps me in anyway.

I'll appreciate any pointers/suggestions regarding this.

You might want to at least start with OpenCV.

I do not know your level in mathematics at all. The "Handbook of Mathematical Models in Computer Vision" is a very good reference on my mind. You should take a look at the "google books" version.
