摘要

The task of traffic line detection is a fundamental yet challenging problem. Previous approaches usually conduct traffic line detection via a two-stage way, namely the line segment detection followed by a segment clustering, which is very likely to ignore the global semantic information of an entire line. To address the problem, we propose an end-to-end system called Line-CNN (L-CNN), in which the key component is a novel line proposal unit (LPU). The LPU utilizes line proposals as references to locate accurate traffic curves, which forces the system to learn the global feature representation of the entire traffic lines. We benchmark the proposed L-CNN on two public datasets including MIKKI and TuSimple, and the results suggest that L-CNN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. In addition, L-CNN can run at approximately 30 f/s on a Titan X GPU, which indicates the practicability and effectiveness of L-CNN for real-time intelligent self-driving systems.
