Abstract
A system and method for instance-level lane detection for autonomous vehicle control includes: receiving training image data from a training image data collection system; performing a training phase to train a plurality of tasks associated with features of the training image data, the training phase including extracting roadway lane marking features from the training image data, causing the plurality of tasks to generate task-specific predictions based on the training image data, determining a bias between the task-specific prediction for each task and corresponding task-specific ground truth data, and adjusting parameters of each of the plurality of tasks to cause the bias to meet a pre-defined confidence level; receiving image data from an image data collection system associated with an autonomous vehicle; and performing an operational phase including extracting roadway lane marking features from the image data, causing the plurality of trained tasks to generate instance-level lane detection results.
