  • Publication number: 20250078532
    Abstract: In various examples, multimodal image data may be used to generate a set of top-down tile images, which are applied to a deep neural network generator architecture model to produce lane marking-specific heatmap images corresponding to the set of top-down tile images. The multimodal sensor data may include LIDAR-captured intensity channel data, LIDAR-captured feature height channel data, and optical color image channel data. The set of top-down tile images may be processed by the generator model to automatically detect lane boundaries and navigation boundaries to generate pixel-level heatmap images that may classify lane markings by marking characteristics such as line type and/or color. The generator model may comprise an encoder-decoder architecture, with multiscale feature extraction and/or context extraction functional layers intervening between the encoder model and the decoder model.
