• Abstract: In recent years, significant academic advancements have been made in the field of autonomous vehicles, with Local maps emerging as a crucial component of autonomous driving technology. Local maps not only provide intricate details of road networks but also serve as fundamental inputs for critical tasks such as vehicle localization, navigation, and decision-making. Given the characteristics of SD map (Standard Definition Map), which include low cost, ease of acquisition, and high versatility, perception methods that integrate SD map as prior information have demonstrated significant potential in the field of Local map perception. The purpose of this paper is to provide researchers with a comprehensive overview and summary of the latest advancements in the integration of SD map as prior information for Local map perception methods. This review begins by introducing the task definition and general pipeline of local map perception methods that incorporate SD maps as prior information, along with relevant public datasets. And then it focuses on the representation and encoding methods of multi-source information, as well as the methods for fusing multi-source information. In response to this burgeoning trend, this article presents a comprehensive and meticulous overview of the diverse research efforts in this particular field. Finally, the article addresses pertinent issues and future challenges with the aim of guiding researchers in understanding the current trends and methodologies prevalent in the field.

  We develop and evaluate a method for automatically identifying maps that depict specific regions and feature landmarks with designated names. We address three main subtasks: differentiating maps from non-maps, verifying the accuracy of the region depicted, and confirming the presence or absence of particular landmark names. Experiments on this dataset demonstrate that our technique achieves F1-score of 85.51% for identifying maps excluding specific territorial landmarks.

To achieve accurate and efficient navigation, it is critical to build a map that accurately represents both spatial location and the semantic information of the environment objects. We propose a multi-granularity map, which contains both object fine-grained details (e.g., color, texture) and semantic classes, to represent objects more comprehensively.

  We define visual map localization as a two-stage process. At the stage of place recognition, the initial position of the vehicle in the map is determined by comparing the visual sensor output with a set of geo-tagged map regions of interest. At the stage of map metric localization, the vehicle is tracked while it moves across the map by continuously aligning the visual sensors' output with the current area of the map that is being traversed.
