Application: Methods and systems for generating a map mesh for autonomous driving (Patent ID: US20240212277A1)
The patent filed by Ford Motor Co. describes methods and systems for controlling the navigation of autonomous vehicles in a geographical area by generating detailed maps. The process involves receiving information about the drivable area, identifying lane segments, segmenting the area into sub-regions using these lane segments, creating a data representation of the area, and rendering the map. The map includes the drivable area and/or the lane segments, which can be used to control the navigation of autonomous vehicles.
The system outlined in the patent includes a processor and programming instructions stored in memory to carry out the map generation process. Additional instructions enable the use of the map for autonomous vehicle navigation, generating a mesh of polygons, assigning heights to vertices, and creating data representations of lane segments. The method involves projecting the area onto a 2-dimensional mesh, identifying overlapping regions, and generating borders for these regions. The data representation includes associations between lane segments and sub-regions, enhancing the accuracy and detail of the map for effective navigation of autonomous vehicles in the geographical area.
