Abstract: This paper focuses on two crucial issues in domain-adaptive lane detection, i.e., how to effectively learn discriminative features and transfer knowledge across domains. Existing lane detection methods usually exploit a pixel-wise cross-entropy loss to train detection models. However, the loss ignores the difference in feature representation among lanes, which leads to inefficient feature learning. On the other hand, cross-domain context dependency crucial for transferring knowledge across domains remains unexplored in existing lane detection methods. This paper proposes a Context-aware Unsupervised Domain-Adaptive Lane Detection (CUDALD) method, consisting of two key components, i.e., cross-domain contrastive loss and domain-level feature aggregation, to realize domain-adaptive lane detection. The former can effectively differentiate feature representations among categories by taking domain-level features as positive samples. The latter fuses the domain-level and pixel-level features to strengthen cross-domain context dependency. Extensive experiments show that CUDALD significantly improves the detection model’s performance and outperforms existing unsupervised domain adaptive lane detection methods on datasets, TuLane, MuLane, and MoLane, especially achieving the best accuracy of 92.24\% when using RTFormer on TuLane.
