DATA LAYER AUGTMENTATION

A method that is computer implemented and is for data layer augmentation, the method includes obtaining, by a processor associated with a vehicle, a data layer associated with road elements of a specified type; obtaining, by a processor associated with a vehicle, localization information regarding a location of the vehicle, wherein the road element information is obtained based on aerial image information within a region of a vehicle and on environmental information sensed by the vehicle; and augmenting the data layer using the localization information, wherein the augmenting of the data layer comprises populating a database with data representing updated road elements location for a group of road elements of the specified type within the region of the vehicle.
