Abstract:
A neural network is configured to process image data captured by a vehicle-mounted camera. The neural network includes common processing layers (a trunk) and separate, parallelizable processing layers (branches). An object detection branch of the neural network is trained to detect objects that may be visible from the vehicle-mounted camera, such as cars, trucks, and traffic signs. A curve determination branch is trained to detect and parameterize salient curves, such as lane boundaries and road boundaries. The curve determination branch itself is configured with a trunk and branch architecture, having both common and separate processing layers. A first branch computes a likelihood that a curve is present in a given location of the image data and a second branch further localizes the curve within the given location if such a curve is present. Training of the different branches of the neural network may be decoupled.
