  • Method and apparatus for evaluating maps for autonomous driving and vehicle
    Patent number: 12449275
    Abstract: A method and apparatus evaluates a map for autonomous driving. The method acquires pixel points of lane lines of a road in a static map; acquires pixel points of lane lines of the road in a real-time map; forms first fitted curves of the lane lines in the static map by fitting the acquired pixel points of the lane lines in the static map respectively; forms second fitted curves of the lane lines in the real-time map by fitting the acquired pixel points of the lane lines in the real-time map respectively; calculates fitted-curve-similarities between the first fitted curves and the corresponding second fitted curves; and evaluates the consistency of the static map and the real-time map based on the fitted-curve-similarities.
