• Title: Haul Road Mapping from GPS Traces
• Authors: Konstantin M. Seiler
• Abstract summary: This paper investigates the possibility of automatically deriving an accurate representation of the road network using GPS data available from haul trucks operating on site. Based on shortcomings seen in all tested algorithms, a post-processing step is developed which geometrically analyses the created road map for artefacts typical of free-drive areas on mine sites.

• Abstract: Automation in mining requires accurate maps of road networks on site. Because roads on open-cut mines are dynamic in nature and continuously changing, manually updating road maps is tedious and error-prone. This paper investigates the possibility of automatically deriving an accurate representation of the road network using GPS data available from haul trucks operating on site. We present an overview of approaches proposed in literature and test the performance of publicly available methods on GPS data collected from trucks operating on site. Based on shortcomings seen in all tested algorithms, a post-processing step is developed which geometrically analyses the created road map for artefacts typical of free-drive areas on mine sites and significantly improves the quality of the final road network graph.

  We present a mapping system that fuses local submaps gathered from a fleet of vehicles at a central instance to produce a coherent map of the road environment. Our method jointly aligns and merges the noisy and incomplete local submaps using a scene-specific Neural Signed Distance Field. We leverage memory-efficient sparse feature-grids to scale to large areas and introduce a confidence score to model uncertainty in scene reconstruction.

  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.
