Patent attributes
A system and method for determining car to lane distance is provided. In one aspect, the system includes a camera configured to generate an image, a processor, and a computer-readable memory. The processor is configured to receive the image from the camera, generate a wheel segmentation map representative of one or more wheels detected in the image, and generate a lane segmentation map representative of one or more lanes detected in the image. For at least one of the wheels in the wheel segmentation map, the processor is also configured to determine a distance between the wheel and at least one nearby lane in the lane segmentation map. The processor is further configured to determine a distance between a vehicle in the image and the lane based on the distance between the wheel and the lane.
