SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING, UPDATING AND ENHANCING LARGE-SCALE HIGH-PRECISION 3D ROAD MAPS AND MULTI-LEVEL ROAD GRAPHS

Systems and methods involving obtaining point cloud data from one or more sources corresponding to one or more zones within a real-world space, the point cloud data representing surface features of structures detected within the one or more zones; defining a plurality of first-level nodes based on the point cloud data, individual first-level nodes corresponding to obtained point cloud data corresponding to individual zones of the one or more zones; identifying connections between two or more first-level nodes, the connections between the two or more first-level nodes based on connections between the point cloud data for the zones corresponding to the two or more first-level nodes; and defining a plurality of second-level nodes, individual second-level nodes corresponding to aggregated subsets of first-level nodes for which connections are identified.
