• Abstract: This report introduces the 1st place winning solution for the Autonomous Driving Challenge 2023 - Online HD-map Construction. By delving into the vectorization pipeline, we elaborate an effective architecture, termed as MachMap, which formulates the task of HD-map construction as the point detection paradigm in the bird-eye-view space with an end-to-end manner. Firstly, we introduce a novel map-compaction scheme into our framework, leading to reducing the number of vectorized points by 93% without any expression performance degradation. Build upon the above process, we then follow the general query-based paradigm and propose a strong baseline with integrating a powerful CNN-based backbone like InternImage, a temporal-based instance decoder and a well-designed point-mask coupling head. Additionally, an extra optional ensemble stage is utilized to refine model predictions for better performance. Our MachMap-tiny with IN-1K initialization achieves a mAP of 79.1 on the Argoverse2 benchmark and the further improved MachMap-huge reaches the best mAP of 83.5, outperforming all the other online HD-map construction approaches on the final leaderboard with a distinct performance margin (> 9.8 mAP at least).

  We propose to train a perception model to "see" standard definition maps (SDMaps) We encode SDMap elements into neural spatial map representations and instance tokens, and then incorporate such complementary features as prior information. Based on the lane segment representation framework, the model simultaneously predicts lanes, centrelines and their topology.

  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 propose HDMapGen, a hierarchical graph generation model capable of producing high-quality and diverse HD maps.

  We propose a model that is accurate, robust, efficient, generalizable, and end-to-end trainable. In order to achieve a better accuracy, we propose two lightweight modules. DQInit dynamically initializes the queries of decoder from the inputs, enabling the model to achieve as good accuracy as the ones with multiple decoder layers. QAMem is designed to enhance the discriminative ability of queries on low-resolution feature maps by assigning separate memory values to each query rather than a shared one.
