摘要： The knowledge about the placement and appearance of lane markings is a prerequisite for the creation of maps with high precision, necessary for autonomous driving, infrastructure monitoring, lanewise traffic management, and urban planning. Lane markings are one of the important components of such maps. Lane markings convey the rules of roads to drivers. While these rules are learned by humans, an autonomous driving vehicle should be taught to learn them to localize itself. Therefore, accurate and reliable lane-marking semantic segmentation in the imagery of roads and highways is needed to achieve such goals. We use airborne imagery that can capture a large area in a short period of time by introducing an aerial lane marking data set. In this paper, we propose a symmetric fully convolutional neural network enhanced by wavelet transform in order to automatically carry out lane-marking segmentation in aerial imagery. Due to a heavily unbalanced problem in terms of a number of lane-marking pixels compared with background pixels, we use a customized loss function as well as a new type of data augmentation step. We achieve a high accuracy in pixelwise localization of lane markings compared with the state-of-the-art methods without using the third-party information. In this paper, we introduce the first high-quality data set used within our experiments, which contains a broad range of situations and classes of lane markings representative of today’s transportation systems. This data set will be publicly available, and hence, it can be used as the benchmark data set for future algorithms within this domain.
