High-Definition Mapping: The Cornerstone Autonomous Driving
High-definition mapping will be a cornerstone in the advancement of geospatial technology, particularly in the realms of autonomous driving, urban planning, and precision agriculture. HD maps are highly comprehensive representations of the physical world, capturing information at a centimeter-level accuracy, far surpassing the capabilities of traditional mapping methods. This precision is crucial for functions that demand real-time, reliable, and detailed environmental data. This white paper explores the reasons why HD Mapping is essential for ADAS, the role of geospatial map layer inputs, the necessary geospatial layers, challenges in obtaining these layers, and how advanced techniques can overcome these challenges.
