This application relates to a method, apparatus, device, and medium for detecting lane line separation and merging points. The method includes: after acquiring a lane line image, performing
skeletonization processing on the lane lines in the lane line image to obtain a lane line skeleton diagram; identifying all
branch nodes on the lane line skeleton diagram, and determining pseudo
branch nodes among all
branch nodes; and eliminating pseudo branch lane lines corresponding to the pseudo branch nodes in the lane line skeleton diagram to obtain the real branch nodes in the lane line image, i.e., obtaining the lane line separation and merging points. The solution provided by this application can accurately detect lane line separation and merging points.
