A system for creating online vectorized maps for autonomous vehicles includes an image sensor and an electronic control unit (ECU). The image sensor captures a series of image frames. The ECU includes a memory, a central processing unit (CPU), and a transceiver. The memory stores a semantic segmentation deep learning model and a vectorization post-processing module as computer readable code. The CPU executes the semantic segmentation deep learning model and the vectorization post-processing module to output a vectorized map of an external environment of a vehicle. The transceiver uploads the vectorized map to a server such that the vectorized map can be accessed by a second vehicle that uses the vectorized map to traverse the external environment.
