Abstract
A lane detection method and apparatus is disclosed. The lane detection apparatus may set a regions of interest (ROIs) in a forward-view image of a vehicle obtained by a camera, estimate lane pixels corresponding to a lane from each of the ROIs using a neural network-based detector, and determine a lane region in the forward-view image based on the lane pixels.
Claims20
A lane detection method comprising:
- setting regions of interest (ROIs) in a forward-view image of a vehicle comprising setting a basic ROI indicating an overall road region in the forward-view image and setting an additional ROI comprising a road portion in the forward-view image;
- lowering an image resolution of the basic ROI based on an image resolution of the additional ROI,
- estimating first lane pixels corresponding to a first lane from the basic ROI with the lowered image resolution and second lane pixels corresponding to a second lane from the additional ROI using a neural network-based detector;
- and
- determining a lane region in the forward-view image based on the first lane pixels and the second lane pixels.
