Robust Lane Detection with Wavelet-Enhanced Context Modeling and Adaptive Sampling

Lane detection is critical for autonomous driving and ad-vanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). While recent methods like CLRNet achieve strong performance, they struggle under adverse con-ditions such as extreme weather, illumination changes, occlusions, and complex curves. We propose a Wavelet-Enhanced Feature Pyramid Net-work (WE-FPN) to address these challenges. A wavelet-based non-local block is integrated before the feature pyramid to improve global context modeling, especially for occluded and curved lanes. Additionally, we de-sign an adaptive preprocessing module to enhance lane visibility under poor lighting. An attention-guided sampling strategy further reffnes spa-tial features, boosting accuracy on distant and curved lanes. Experiments on CULane and TuSimple demonstrate that our approach signiffcantly outperforms baselines in challenging scenarios, achieving better robust-ness and accuracy in real-world driving conditions.
