Zusammenfassung:Methods by which an autonomous vehicle or related system may determine when a high definition (HD) map is out of date are disclosed. As the vehicle moves in an area, it captures sensor data representing perceived features of the area. A processor will input the sensor data along with HD map data for the area into a neural network to generate an embedding that identifies differences between features in the map data and corresponding features in the sensor data. The system may convert the sensor data into a birds-eye view or ego view before doing this. The network will identify any differences that exceed a threshold. The network will report the features for which the differences that exceed the threshold as features of the HD map that require updating.
