TL;DR

This work proposes YOLOv8n-LaneDG based on YOLOv8n-seg, a high-precision, deployable lane detection solution for vehicle-end platforms that outperforms mainstream lightweight models and matches heavy YOLOv8s-seg with far fewer parameters.

Abstract

Lane detection is a core perception task for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. Current methods struggle to balance accuracy, model complexity and inference efficiency: high-precision models rely on heavy modules with excessive computation, while lightweight ones suffer from weak feature extraction and low precision. To alleviate this inherent trade-off, we propose YOLOv8n-LaneDG based on YOLOv8n-seg. We design a dual-path gated fusion block to strengthen lane features and an efficient upsampling convolution block to reduce computational overhead, and we further design a weighted continuity loss to preserve lane structural integrity. Evaluated on TuSimple, our method lifts mAP@0.5 from 74.3% to 95.2%. It outperforms mainstream lightweight models and matches heavy YOLOv8s-seg with far fewer parameters, delivering a high-precision, deployable lane detection solution for vehicle-end platforms.

Enhanced lane detection for autonomous driving based on ENet with attention-refinement

Efficient lane detection is essential for autonomous driving because lane markings are thin, sparse, and vulnerable to shadow, occlusion, road wear, and background road markings. This paper presents an ENet-based lane segmentation method enhanced by a compact attention-refinement block. The block is explicitly defined...
