Abstract
A method may include obtaining sensor data about a total measurable world around an autonomous vehicle. The sensor data may be captured by sensor units co-located with the autonomous vehicle. The method may include generating a mapping dataset including the obtained sensor data and identifying data elements that each represents a point in the mapping dataset. The method may include sorting the data elements according to a structural data categorization that is a template for a high-definition map of the total measurable world and determining a mapping trajectory of the autonomous vehicle. The mapping trajectory may describe a localization and a path of motion of the autonomous vehicle. The method may include generating the high-definition map based on the structural data categorization and relative to the mapping trajectory of the autonomous vehicle, and the high-definition map may be updated based on the path of motion of the autonomous vehicle.
