APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR GENERATING MAP

An apparatus for generating a map includes a processor configured to detect a stop line of an intersection from a bird's-eye view image, detect from the bird's-eye view image an intersection area including an intersection and roads connected to the intersection, detect at least either one of an entry lane for entering the intersection and an exit lane for exiting the intersection in a road from which the stop line is extracted, of the roads, based on the ratio of the length of the stop line to the width of the road, and generate a lane network representing a connection relationship between lanes in the intersection so as to connect, for each of the roads, the entry lane of the road to the exit lane of another of the roads to which a vehicle is allowed to proceed from the entry lane of the road.
