Modern methods mainly regard lane detection as a problem of pixel-wise segmentation, which is struggling to address the problems of efficiency and challenging scenarios like severe occlusions and extreme lighting conditions. Inspired by human perception, the recognition of lanes under severe occlusions and extreme lighting conditions is mainly based on contextual and global information. Motivated by this observation, we propose a novel, simple, yet effective formulation aiming at ultra fast speed and the problem of challenging scenarios. Specifically, we treat the process of lane detection as an anchor-driven ordinal classification problem using global features. First, we represent lanes with sparse coordinates on a series of hybrid (row and column) anchors. With the help of the anchor-driven representation, we then reformulate the lane detection task as an ordinal classification problem to get the coordinates of lanes. Our method could significantly reduce the computational cost with the anchor-driven representation. Using the large receptive field property of the ordinal classification formulation, we could also handle challenging scenarios. Extensive experiments on four lane detection datasets show that our method could achieve state-of-the-art performance in terms of both speed and accuracy. A lightweight version could even achieve 300+ frames per second(FPS). Our code is at https://github.com/cfzd/Ultra-Fast-Lane-Detection-v2.
