description Robust lane detection is imperative for the realization of intelligent transportation. Recently, vision-based systems that employ deep convolution neural networks (CNNs) for lane detection have made considerable progress. However, for better generalization under various road conditions learning-based methods require excessive training data, which becomes non-trivial in challenging conditions such as illumination variation, shadows, false lane lines, and worn lane markings, etc. In this paper, we propose a light field (LF) based lane detection method that utilizes the additional angular information for improved prediction and increased robustness. Two different LF representations are investigated to study the possibility of maximum performance improvement and minimal additional computation cost and data labeling efforts. Experimental results successfully demonstrate that the proposed approach improves the prediction of the lane line point coordinates and is significantly robust against the aforementioned adverse conditions.
