May 31 2017 - 1:00PM
Capelle aan den IJssel, the
Netherlands - 31 May 2017 - Mapmaker AND announces today the
availability of High Definition Autonomous Vehicle Maps of
Schiedam, the Netherlands for all road classes. This highly
accurate model of the road enables manoeuvre planning and
localisation which is critical for advanced driving applications
(ADAS) and autonomous driving.
AND CEO Hugo van der Linde: "We are proud to
present our first product following our research in the automotive
sector around autonomous driving. With the release of our High
Definition Autonomous Vehicle Map, which includes a HD Map and a
Localisation Map, we cover both inner-city roads and highways. With
this data, we will be able to attract more contacts within the
automotive industry."
The HD Map provides a highly accurate and
realistic representation of the road. The HD Map includes features
such as driving lanes, emergency lanes, parking areas, crossings,
intersection areas, intersections lanes, lane markings and traffic
signs with an absolute accuracy of 15 cm and relative accuracy of 5
cm.
The Localisation Map is aligned with the HD Map
and includes landmarks such as traffic signs, public lighting, lane
markings, guard rails, gantries and wells to accurately determine
the location of the vehicle.
The HD Maps and Localisation Maps have been
created using various sources, including 360-degree panoramic
street level imagery captured by CycloMedia and their geodata sets
like road markings and side of the road geometry. The images are
geometrically correct with high position accuracy, captured while
driving in the normal flow of traffic at a 5m image interval.
CycloMedia uses a mix of patent-protected and patent-pending data
and software to capture imagery and create geodata sets. AND aims
to create and update the HD Maps and Localisation Maps from sensors
and cameras in the consumer cars.
