MAP PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a map processing method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining map data collected during driving of a vehicle; determining, when a plurality of semantic elements forming a loop is detected in the map data, a plurality of target semantic elements collected for a same environment object from the plurality of semantic elements forming the loop; and de-duplicating the map data based on the plurality of target semantic elements. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, de-duplication of the map data is realized, and a simplified map is obtained.
