Abstract

A method of lane detection for a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs is disclosed. The one or more programs include instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform the following steps comprising: generating a ground truth associated with lane markings expressed in god's view; receiving features from at least one of a hit-map image and a fitted lane marking, wherein the hit-map image includes a classification of pixels that hit a lane marking, and the fitted lane marking includes pixels optimized based on the hit-map image; and training a confidence module based on the features and the ground truth, the confidence module configured to determine on-line whether a fitted lane marking is reasonable, using parameters that express a lane marking in an arc.

Claims (30)

1. A method of lane detection, comprising:

generating a first image from a second image received from a sensor located on a vehicle, wherein the first image indicates pixels located on a lane marking;

generating, based on the first image, a third image comprising fitted lane markings; and

obtaining a fourth image by fitting a fitted lane marking into an arc of a circle, wherein the fitted lane markings include the fitted lane marking.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using lane markings on a highway that are parallel to each other.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a circular shape of a curvature of a lane on a highway.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a curvature of a lane on a highway that is smaller than a distance.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a lane spacing between neighboring lanes on a highway having a range between two distances.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a color at an edge of one lane marking that is different from that of another portion of a highway.

7. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to:

generate a first image from a second image received from a sensor located on a vehicle, wherein the first image indicates pixels located on a lane marking;

generate, based on the first image, a third image comprising fitted lane markings; and

obtain a fourth image by fitting a fitted lane marking into an arc of a circle, wherein the fitted lane markings include the fitted lane marking.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a confidence level is determined for each fitted lane marking.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein at least some fitted lane markings are removed from the fitted lane markings.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the third image is generated based on the first image and a lane template that include features from a first view immediately prior to a second view related to the second image.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a number of fitted lane markings are increased in the lane template.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a local optimal of the fitted lane marking is obtained by optimizing points in the lane template.

13. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the second image includes an image obtained by a camera and point cloud data generated by a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor.

14. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to remove at least some fitted lane markings from the fitted lane markings.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions thereon, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method, comprising:

generating a first image from a second image received from a sensor located on a vehicle, wherein the first image indicates pixels located on a lane marking;

generating, based on the first image, a third image comprising fitted lane markings; and

obtaining a fourth image by fitting a fitted lane marking into an arc of a circle, wherein the fitted lane markings include the fitted lane marking.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using lane markings on a highway that are parallel to each other.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a circular shape of a curvature of a lane on a highway.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a curvature of a lane on a highway that is smaller than a distance.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a lane spacing between neighboring lanes on a highway having a range between two distances.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the third image comprising the fitted lane markings is generated using a color at an edge of one lane marking that is different from that of another portion of a highway.
