Lane detection: Datasets & Models
Segment road lane markings from camera or dashcam footage to identify lane boundaries, positions, and geometry. Useful for autonomous driving, ADAS, and traffic monitoring systems.
Lane detection
This lane detection workflow uses segmentation to produce pixel level masks of road lane markings from camera images, dashcam video, or live traffic feeds. It detects solid lines, dashed dividers, road edges, and painted markings, giving you lane boundaries, positions, and geometry for autonomous driving, ADAS, and traffic monitoring systems.

Why automate lane detection
Manually annotating or reviewing lane geometry across thousands of miles of roadway is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to scale for real-time driving or traffic analytics. A segmentation model automates lane detection frame by frame, handling faded markings, curved roads, and varying lighting conditions that trip up rule-based edge detection. For teams building ADAS features, lane-departure warnings, or infrastructure inventory tools, this turns raw video into structured lane data that downstream planning and analytics systems can act on immediately.
Key benefits
Pixel-accurate segmentation captures the true curvature and width of lanes, not just approximate boxes, which matters for path planning and compliance checks. The workflow runs on existing traffic cameras and dashcam hardware, so you can layer it onto current infrastructure without new sensor investments. It scales from a single test vehicle to a citywide camera network, giving traffic and mobility teams consistent lane data across every feed.
How to use it
- Upload an image: Drop any photo into the widget above to try lane detection for free, right on this page.
- Preview instant results: The model detects lane marking, solid line, dashed lane divider, crosswalk, road edge within seconds and returns an annotated image with structured predictions, so you can immediately see how well it works. Adjust the detection classes and re-run until the results fit your scenario.
- Like what you see?: With a free Roboflow account, you can deploy this workflow with the Serverless Cloud API, customize it in your workspace, or train RF-DETR (instance segmentation) on your own images for production accuracy.
- Get started for free: No code or training data required to begin: upload, review the results, and make it part of your stack in a single click.
Recommended model for lane detection
RF-DETR is state of the art for real-time object detection, instance segmentation, and keypoint detection, with higher accuracy and lower latency than comparable models, and it's Apache 2.0 licensed. When you're ready to build a production model for lane detection, fine-tune it on your own labeled images, then deploy to a Serverless Cloud API endpoint.
