Introduction
This repository is the PyTorch implementation for PersFormer.
PersFormer is an end-to-end monocular 3D lane detector with a novel Transformer-based spatial feature transformation module. Our model generates BEV features by attending to related front-view local regions with camera parameters as a reference. It adopts a unified 2D/3D anchor design and an auxiliary task to detect 2D/3D lanes simultaneously, enhancing the feature consistency and sharing the benefits of multi-task learning.
Changelog
- 2022-11-3: Fix the evaluation pipeline bug and upload the best model of PersFormer on openlaneV1.1 for reproducibility. Other models are coming soon.
- 2022-9-27: Update evaluation metrics, prune gt points by visibility before evaluation, detail can be found in related issue A question about prune_3d_lane_by_visibility; support Gen-LaneNet on OpenLane; support PersFormer on once dataset.
- 2022-5-9: We compared our method on ONCES_3DLanes Dataset, where PersFormer also outperforms other methods.
- 2022-4-12: We released the v1.0 code for PersFormer.
