Learning from Maps: Visual Common Sense for Autonomous Driving

Given a street view image, our model learns to estimate a set of driving-relevant road layout attributes. The ground truth attribute labels for model training are automatically extracted from OpenStreetMap.

Instructions

main.m demonstrates the full pipeline for downloading images from Google Street View, establishing correspondence with OpenStreetMap roads for label extraction, and training models for road attribute estimation.

Dataset and pre-trained networks: The dataset consisting of Google Street View panoramas and ground truth road attribute labels as well as pre-trained networks are available for download from http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~aseff/mapnet
