Abstract
A computer-implemented method may comprise: receiving sensor data from a sensor of an autonomous vehicle; determining a presence of a lane closure object located on a lane element; determining a change of the lane closure object, selected from the presence of the lane closure object or absence of the lane closure object on the lane element; generating a change candidate based on the change in the lane closure object; obtaining a plurality of the change candidates during a time period or the autonomous vehicle being on a preceding lane element on the route; analyzing the plurality of change candidates for the change being the presence of the lane closure object or the absence of the lane closure object on the lane element; generating a final change candidate based on the change; and providing the final change candidate for updating a high definition map of the route having the lane element.
