Road Segmentation for ADAS/AD Applications (2505.12206v1)

Abstract: Accurate road segmentation is essential for autonomous driving and ADAS, enabling effective navigation in complex environments. This study examines how model architecture and dataset choice affect segmentation by training a modified VGG-16 on the Comma10k dataset and a modified U-Net on the KITTI Road dataset. Both models achieved high accuracy, with cross-dataset testing showing VGG-16 outperforming U-Net despite U-Net being trained for more epochs. We analyze model performance using metrics such as F1-score, mean intersection over union, and precision, discussing how architecture and dataset impact results.
