Deepening method for LeanMAP content based on a virtual trajectory by lateral transcription

In this study, we aim to develop a new upgrading method of digital map content for automated driving on nationwide public roads. In general, a dense waypoint map based on a digital map is necessary to realize precise motion controls of intelligent automobiles. However, current preparation methods fo...
