METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PRODUCING MAP DATA, AND RELATED APPARATUS

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for automatically producing map data. The method includes: performing track rectification on crowdsourcing tracks based on corresponding standard tracks, and locating each map element included, based on depth information of track point images included in the rectified crowdsourcing tracks; comparing a latest map element obtained based on the rectified crowdsourcing tracks locating and an old map element at a corresponding locating position using a pre-built entity semantic map; determining, in response to a change in the latest map element compared to the old map element, a target processing method according to a processing standard of a changed map element pre-abstracted from a map element update specification; and processing the latest map element according to the target processing method to obtain a processed latest map.
