Structured Prediction Crosswalk Generation

Abstract:

A method includes receiving image data associated with an image of a roadway including a crosswalk, generating a plurality of different characteristics of the image based on the image data, determining a position of the crosswalk on the roadway based on the plurality of different characteristics, the position including a first boundary and a second boundary of the crosswalk in the roadway, and providing map data associated with a map of the roadway, the map data including the position of the crosswalk on the roadway in the map. The plurality of different characteristics include a classification of one or more elements of the image, a segmentation of the one or more elements of the image, and one or more angles of the one or more elements of the image with respect to a line in the roadway.
