  • Publication number: 20250218117
    Abstract: A method for creating a 3D point cloud map includes acquiring image frames from an image frame sequence of an external environment captured by a target camera of a vehicle. The method further includes processing the image frames using a feature point recognition model to identify a set of feature points in the image frames, along with a corresponding set of descriptors for the feature points. The feature point recognition model is a neural network model trained using a plurality of sample images of a same scene under different lighting intensities. The method further includes creating the 3D point cloud map of the external environment based on the set of descriptors. The method enables the obtained descriptors to include more image information, and further allows for an extraction of more matching feature points from the image when there are changes in lighting or view.
