  • Patent number: 11113546
    Abstract: A lane line processing method and device are provided. The method can includes obtaining distances between lane line points in a first image, determining direction densities of the individual lane line points by using the distances between the lane line points, dividing lane line points into groups corresponding to lane lines by using the direction densities of the individual lane line points, and obtaining representation information of the lane lines corresponding to the groups by using the lane line points in the groups. By using the direction densities of the individual lane line points, lane line points in an image are divided into groups, the obtained groups are then more accurate, and thus the lane lines obtained by fitting are accurate, are less susceptible to image quality issues, and have high robustness.
