• Abstract: Monocular 3D lane detection remains challenging due to depth ambiguity and weak geometric constraints. Mainstream methods rely on depth guidance, BEV projection, and anchor- or curve-based heads with simplified physical assumptions, remapping high-dimensional image features while only weakly encoding road geometry. Lacking an invariant geometric-topological coupling between lanes and the underlying road surface, 2D-to-3D lifting is ill-posed and brittle, often degenerating into concavities, bulges, and twists. To address this, we propose the Road-Manifold Assumption: the road is a smooth 2D manifold in $\mathbb{R}^3$, lanes are embedded 1D submanifolds, and sampled lane points are dense observations, thereby coupling metric and topology across surfaces, curves, and point sets. Building on this, we propose ReManNet, which first produces initial lane predictions with an image backbone and detection heads, then encodes geometry as Riemannian Gaussian descriptors on the symmetric positive-definite (SPD) manifold, and fuses these descriptors with visual features through a lightweight gate to maintain coherent 3D reasoning. We also propose the 3D Tunnel Lane IoU (3D-TLIoU) loss, a joint point-curve objective that computes slice-wise overlap of tubular neighborhoods along each lane to improve shape-level alignment. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that ReManNet achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) or competitive results. On OpenLane, it improves F1 by +8.2% over the baseline and by +1.8% over the previous best, with scenario-level gains of up to +6.6%. The code will be publicly available at https://github.com/changehome717/ReManNet.

  We introduce EMAP, a new method for learning 3D edge representations with a focus on both lines and curves. Our method implicitly encodes 3D edge distance and direction in Unsigned Distance Functions (UDF) from multi-view edge maps. On top of this neural representation, we propose an edge extraction algorithm that robustly abstracts 3D edges from the inferred edge points and their directions.

We first analyze the geometry between the 3D lane and its 2D representation on the ground and propose to impose explicit supervision based on the structure prior. Second, to reduce the structure loss in 2D lane representation, we directly extract top view lane information from front view images.

  We propose a geometric neural network with edge-aware refinement (GeoNet++) to jointly predict both depth and surface normal maps from a single image. GeoNet++ effectively predicts depth and surface normals with strong 3D consistency and sharp boundaries. In contrast to current metrics that focus on evaluating pixel-wise error/accuracy, 3DGM measures whether the predicted depth can reconstruct high-quality 3D surface normals.
