• Abstract summary: We propose an interpretable method for lane topology reasoning based on lane geometric distance and lane query similarity. Our approach significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods on the mainstream benchmark OpenLane-V2. Our proposed geometric distance topology reasoning method can be incorporated into well-trained models without re-training.

• Abstract: As an emerging task that integrates perception and reasoning, topology reasoning in autonomous driving scenes has recently garnered widespread attention. However, existing work often emphasizes "perception over reasoning": they typically boost reasoning performance by enhancing the perception of lanes and directly adopt MLP to learn lane topology from lane query. This paradigm overlooks the geometric features intrinsic to the lanes themselves and are prone to being influenced by inherent endpoint shifts in lane detection. To tackle this issue, we propose an interpretable method for lane topology reasoning based on lane geometric distance and lane query similarity, named TopoLogic. This method mitigates the impact of endpoint shifts in geometric space, and introduces explicit similarity calculation in semantic space as a complement. By integrating results from both spaces, our methods provides more comprehensive information for lane topology. Ultimately, our approach significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods on the mainstream benchmark OpenLane-V2 (23.9 v.s. 10.9 in TOP$_{ll}$ and 44.1 v.s. 39.8 in OLS on subset_A. Additionally, our proposed geometric distance topology reasoning method can be incorporated into well-trained models without re-training, significantly boost the performance of lane topology reasoning. The code is released at https://github.com/Franpin/TopoLogic.

  Topology reasoning aims to understand road scenes and present drivable routes in autonomous driving. It requires detecting road centerlines (lane) and traffic elements, further reasoning their topology relationship, i.e., lane-lane topology, and lane-traffic topology. We introduce a powerful 3D lane detector and an improved 2D traffic element detector to extend the upper limit of topology performance.

  We focus on drawing the lane boundaries of complex highways with many lanes that contain topology changes due to forks and merges. We formulate the problem as inference in a directed acyclic graphical model (DAG), where the nodes of the graph encode geometric and topological properties of the local regions of the lane boundaries. We show the effectiveness of our approach on two major North American Highways in two different states and show high precision and recall as well as 89% correct topology.
