Creating high-definition 3D map for autonomous vehicles with Velodyne

Abstract

- An autonomous vehicle is a vehicle with the ability to operate without direct human control or intervention. This is the future direction, a trend in the car industry that is increasingly modern and developing today, so the formation of the concepts of autonomous vehicles as well as the initial construction of digital maps for vehicles plays a very important role in creating good baseline data for autonomous vehicle operation. With the purpose of actively building a digital map, the paper presents a method of building a point cloud map using the Normal Distribution Transform (NDT) algorithm with real data obtained from Velodyne. The results in the paper play a role in the basis of research, development, and integration with autonomous vehicle systems in Vietnam.
