Robust and Generalized Lane Topology Understanding and HD Map Generation through CoT Design

We propose to organize a workshop on "Robust and Generalized Lane Topology Understanding and HD Map Generation through CoT Design" at WACV 2026 and propose two planning-oriented lane topology understanding and HD map generation datasets with CoT (Chain-of-Thought). This workshop will provide a platform for industry experts and academics to brainstorm and exchange ideas about road understanding CoT and its derived outstanding works to advance autonomous driving. The workshop will be organized by leading industry and academia researchers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Tencent T-Lab, and The University of Hong Kong. Through keynote speeches, paper presentations, and discussions, we aim to foster collaboration and advance the state-of-the-art in road understanding for autonomous driving.
