LaneJoint: Simultaneous Lane Detection and Classification Algorithm

In the field of intelligent vehicle, many algorithms have been proposed to detect lanes. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is little literature dealing with joint lane detection and classification. In the paper, a novel LaneJoint, which simultaneously detects and classifies lanes, is proposed. In LaneJoint, to accurately detect lanes, we use an attention mechanism to fuse local and global information. And we connect the attention mechanism with multiple fully connected layers to simultaneously predict the location of lane pixels and the type of lane. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
