Abstract
A method for an end-to-end boundary lane detection system is described. The method includes gridding a red-green-blue (RGB) image captured by a camera sensor mounted on an ego vehicle into a plurality of image patches. The method also includes generating different image patch embeddings to provide correlations between the plurality of image patches and the RGB image. The method further includes encoding the different image patch embeddings into predetermined categories, grid offsets, and instance identifications. The method also includes generating lane boundary keypoints of the RGB image based on the encoding of the different image patch embeddings.
