METHOD FOR GENERATING ACCURATE LANE LEVEL MAPS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining road lane characteristics of a road comprising:
- obtaining Lidar data of road markers on a road;
accessing road map data;
determining road segment node locations from the map data;
tying a computer implemented on the Lidar generated road marker data to the road segment node locations; and
applying particle filtering to the road marker road segment locations to lane characteristics estimates generating a road lane map.

Abstract
A method for generating accurate lane level maps based on course map information and Lidar data captured during the pass of a sensor carrying vehicle along a road. The method generates accurate lane estimates including the center of each lane, the number of lanes, and the presence of any bicycle paths and entrance and exit ramps using a computer-implemented method where the course map data and the Lidar data are subjected to particle filtering.
