Test	1,000	10%
Total	10,000	100%

Annotation Format

Each image has:

1.Polyline annotations (.lines.txt): X,Y coordinate pairs for lane boundaries
2.Segmentation labels (.png): Pixel-wise lane masks
3.Ground truth list (train_gt.txt, val_gt.txt): Image paths with lane existence flags

Ground Truth Format:

<image_path> <label_path> <lane1_exist> <lane2_exist> <lane3_exist> <lane4_exist>

Example:

/images/train/000000.jpg /labels/train/000000.png 1 1 0 0

(Two lanes detected: left and right)
