Abstract
In one embodiment, a lane processing method and system identifies traffic lanes based on images. The images can be converted to lane markers where the lane markers are based on inner edges of the identified lanes. The lane markers can be used for steering, navigation, controlling and driving an automated driving vehicle (ADV). The markers can be associated with each other, in graphical space, to construct lane lines. Additional information, such as spatial and semantic information can be associated with each lane to further improve ADV planning and control.
