- Abstract: The increasing availability of satellite and aerial imagery has sparked
substantial interest in automatically updating street maps by processing aerial
images. Until now, the community has largely focused on road extraction, where
road networks are inferred from scratch from an aerial image. However, given
that relatively high-quality maps exist in most parts of the world, in
practice, inference approaches must be applied to update existing maps rather
than infer new ones. With recent road extraction methods showing high accuracy,
we argue that it is time to transition to the more practical map update task,
where an existing map is updated by adding, removing, and shifting roads,
without introducing errors in parts of the existing map that remain up-to-date.
In this paper, we develop a new dataset called MUNO21 for the map update task,
and show that it poses several new and interesting research challenges. We
evaluate several state-of-the-art road extraction methods on MUNO21, and find
that substantial further improvements in accuracy will be needed to realize
automatic map update.

Maintaining accurate, up-to-date maps is important in any dynamic urban landscape.
Traditional (i.e. largely manual) map production and crowdsourced mapping methods still struggle to keep pace with rapid changes in the built environment.
Tech giants such as Google and Microsoft have already started investigating Machine Learning (ML) techniques to tackle this contemporary mapping problem.

HD maps are maps with precise definitions of road lanes with rich semantics of the traffic rules.
There are only a small amount of real-world road topologies and geometries, which significantly limits our ability to test out the self-driving stack.

We focus on drawing the lane boundaries of complex highways with many lanes that contain topology changes due to forks and merges.
We formulate the problem as inference in a directed acyclic graphical model (DAG), where the nodes of the graph encode geometric and topological properties of the local regions of the lane boundaries.
We show the effectiveness of our approach on two major North American Highways in two different states and show high precision and recall as well as 89% correct topology.
