Lane detection with a classical and with a deep learning based approach for Computer Vision for Vehicle course. Contains a simple lane detection algorithm and inference in C++/libtorch for a pretrained ERFNet on TuSimple with Hsu clustering loss.

1. Load the KITTI odometry01 directory in greyscale and visualize it
2. Obtain a IPM image applying the homography matrix given
3. Process the IPM with a DLD kernel
4. Binarize the obtained image with a fixed threshold
5. Binarize the obtained image with an adaptive threshold: LANE(x,y) = (DLD(x,y) > alpha*AVG(x,y)) ? 255 : 0
6. Cluster the points together. A point belongs to a cluster if it is near (NxN) to a point in that cluster.
7. Bonus: fitting with Hough Transform

1. Start from the bottom of the binarized image and proceed
2. Use cv::Point2d if you want std::vector< std::vector <cv::Point2d> >
3. Visualize the clusters with random colors using rand() or color palette

2. The conversion between the cartesian and polar space is r = cos(t) * (x) + sin(t) * (y)
3. Pay attention to degrees and radiants!

1. Load the CNN using std::shared_ptr<torch::jit::script::Module> module = torch::jit::load("../res/model_cpp.cnn");
2. Read the images in the 0531 folder in READ_COLOR mode
3. Resize the images (512x256) with cv::resize(scr_im, dst_im, cv::Size(w, h));
4. Convert the images using tc.toTensor(image) initializing an object tc = TConverter();
5. Create astd::vector of torch::jit::IValue and push_back the Tensor
6. Forward the array inside the neural network with at::Tensor output = module->forward(inputs).toTensor();
7. Get the output with

   std::tuple<at::Tensor, at::Tensor> output_max = at::max(output, 1);
   at::Tensor argmax = std::get<1>(output_max);
   argmax = argmax.to(at::kByte);
   

8. Visualize the different lanes with different colors. Get the prediction image with cv::Mat prediction_vectors = tc.toImage(argmax, TConverter::CONVERT_GRAYSCALE, image.size());. You will get a matrix where 0=background, 1/2/3/4 = different lanes.

1. libprotobuf not found when compiling Lane_CNN: sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev
2. Issues with imshow: try to manually download and compile OpenCV
3. Other issues with libtorch: manually download libtorch and link it with cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=path/to/libtorch ..
4. Issues with libmklml: download it from the repo and place it in libtorch/lib
