Abstract

A learning method for detecting at least one lane based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) is provided. The learning method includes steps of: (a) a learning device obtaining encoded feature maps, and information on lane candidate pixels in a input image; (b) the learning device, classifying a first parts of the lane candidate pixels, whose probability scores are not smaller than a predetermined threshold, as strong line pixels, and classifying the second parts of the lane candidate pixels, whose probability scores are less than the threshold but not less than another predetermined threshold, as weak lines pixels; and (c) the learning device, if distances between the weak line pixels and the strong line pixels are less than a predetermined distance, classifying the weak line pixels as pixels of additional strong lines, and determining that the pixels of the strong line and the additional correspond to pixels of the lane.
