DCRnet: an effective 2D and 3D lane detection method on highway
摘要
Lane detection is a crucial component in autonomous driving systems, yet challenges persist in achieving accurate detection and lightweight deployment of 3D lane detection on highways. To address these issues, we propose a novel striped lane representation that more closely reflects the real-world characteristics of lane lines. Additionally, we introduce a double-branch cross-layer refinement network, designed to enhance model robustness while accelerating training convergence. To further enhance detection performance, we develop the stripes IOU loss function, specifically tailored for evaluating striped lane representations. To simplify deployment, we implement a prior-based spatial projection correction mechanism, effectively mapping 2D detection results into 3D space. Our algorithm achieves a 97% accuracy on the TuSimple and an average F1-score of 79.9 on the CULane, all while maintaining remarkable runtime efficiency. Furthermore, on the 3D OpenLane, it delivers robust detection performance in critical adjacent regions while sustaining high detection efficiency. These results offer substantial support for the effectiveness and practical feasibility of our approach on highway.
