Abstract
Effective lane detection technology plays an important role in the current autonomous driving system. Although deep learning models, with their intricate network designs, have proven highly capable of detecting lanes, there persist key areas requiring attention. Firstly, the symmetry inherent in visuals captured by forward-facing automotive cameras is an underexploited resource. Secondly, the vast potential of position information remains untapped, which can undermine detection precision. In response to these challenges, we propose FF-HPINet, a novel approach for lane detection. We introduce the Flipped Feature Extraction module, which models pixel pairwise relationships between the flipped feature and the original feature. This module allows us to capture symmetrical features and obtain high-level semantic feature maps from different receptive fields. Additionally, we design the Hierarchical Position Information Extraction module to meticulously mine the position information of the lanes, vastly improving target identification accuracy. Furthermore, the Deformable Context Extraction module is proposed to distill vital foreground elements and contextual nuances from the surrounding environment, yielding focused and contextually apt feature representations. Our approach achieves excellent performance with the F1 score of 97.00% on the TuSimple dataset and 76.84% on the CULane dataset.
