Abstract:
A system may automatically create training datasets for training a segmentation model to recognize features such as lanes on a road. The system may receive sensor data representative of a portion of an environment and map data from a map data store including existing map data for the portion of the environment that includes features present in that portion of the environment. The system may project or overlay the features onto the sensor data to create training datasets for training the segmentation model, which may be a neural network. The training datasets may be communicated to the segmentation model to train the segmentation model to segment data associated with similar features present in different sensor data. The trained segmentation model may be used to update the map data store, and may be used to segment sensor data obtained from other portions of the environment, such as portions not previously mapped.
