Title

(EN) SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING LANDMARKS

Abstract

(EN)

Systems and methods are provided for constructing, using, and updating the sparse map for autonomous vehicle navigation. A system may comprise a processor and a memory. The memory may include instructions, which when executed on the processor, cause the processor to initiate identification of a landmark based on images from multiple vehicles, the landmark including a traffic sign, fuse the landmark with an existing map to produce an updated map, and distribute the updated map to a plurality of vehicles for use in autonomous operation.
