Abstract

A method for generating accurate lane level maps based on course map information and Lidar data captured during the pass of a sensor carrying vehicle along a road. The method generates accurate lane estimates including the center of each lane, the number of lanes, and the presence of any bicycle paths and entrance and exit ramps using a computer-implemented method where the course map data and the Lidar data are subjected to particle filtering.
