Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the lane line detection task into multiple stages: initial row classification for fast detection, followed by curve fitting (polynomial or spline) for precise lane line reconstruction. This segmentation allows the system to benefit from both the speed of row classification and the accuracy of curve-based methods, resolving the contradiction between detection speed and accuracy.

AI summary

A lane line recognition method applied to an electronic device is provided. In the method, the electronic device converts a first foreground image into a bird's-eye view (BEV) image and determines the initial positions of the left lane line and the right lane line of the BEV image and fits a first curve and a second curve after a first sliding window slid each time and fits a third curve and a fourth curve after a second sliding window slid each time. The electronic device recognizes the left lane line according to the second curve and the right lane line according to the fourth curve. The method improves accuracy for recognizing lane lines of a road when a vehicle is moving on the road.
