Abstract
In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes obtaining an image depicting an environment where an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) is located. The method also includes determining, using a first neural network, a plurality of line indicators based on the image. The plurality of line indicators represent one or more lanes in the environment. The method further includes determining, using a second neural network, a vanishing point within the image based on the plurality of line segments. The second neural network is communicatively coupled to the first neural network. The plurality of line indicators is determined simultaneously with the vanishing point. The method further includes calibrating one or more sensors based of the autonomous driving vehicle based on the vanishing point.
