  • Patent number: 11971274
    Abstract: There is provided a method for producing a high-definition (HD) map. The method includes detecting an object of a road area from the aerial image, extracting a two-dimensional (2D) coordinate value of the detected object, calculating a three-dimensional (3D) coordinate value corresponding to the 2D coordinate value by projecting the extracted 2D coordinate value onto point cloud data that configures the MMS data, and generating an HD map showing a road area of the aerial image in three dimensions based on the calculated 3D coordinate value.
