Motion dataset: extracting centerlines from crosswalks #555

Open ZikangZhou opened 2 years ago

ZikangZhou commented 2 years ago

Hi all,

The crosswalks in the map protocol are now represented as polygons. I'm particularly interested in extracting a center polyline for each crosswalk from the polygon (or two polylines, one for each direction). Are there any easy ways to do this? I believe such information is beneficial to model design, as the centerline of a crosswalk can indicate the moving directions of pedestrians. Moreover, adding polylines to crosswalks can unify the representations of lanes and crosswalks. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Currently there is not an easy way to extract a center polyline for crosswalks. This is something we could add in the next release. We will consider this for the upcoming release.
