Method and apparatus for pixel based lane prediction

This invention describes a way to measure how accurate a computer system is at identifying specific features, like lane lines on a road, within an image. It works by comparing the computer's prediction of where those features are (a "prediction map" of pixels) against a perfect, correct map of where they actually are (a "ground truth map"). The system calculates how much the predicted features overlap with the correct ones. If the overlap is good enough, it considers them a match and uses this to determine the precision of the computer's prediction.
