LANE FEATURE DETECTION IN AERIAL IMAGES BASED ON ROAD GEOMETRY

An apparatus and method for lane feature detection from an image is performed according to predetermined path geometry. An image including at least one path is received. The image may be an aerial image. Map data, corresponding to the at least one path and defining the predetermined path geometry is selected. The image is modified according to the selected map data including the predetermined path geometry. A lane feature prediction model is generated or configured based on the modified image. A subsequent image is provided to the lane feature prediction model for a prediction of at least one lane feature.
