A method for matching a digital road map to a digital reference road map, wherein the two road maps in each case include semantic information about objects represented on the two road maps. The method includes: associating objects on the road map with objects on the reference road map on the basis of the respective semantic information such that only objects with the same semantic information are associated with one another; matching the road map to the reference road map on the basis of the association, wherein the matching comprises creating a delta pose between the road map and the reference road map. A device, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium are also described.

Method for matching a digital road map

A method is provided for creating at least one map of vehicle surroundings with the aid of a control unit. It is checked based on a comparison between received measured data and stored or received map data, whether first features, for example semantic features, are present and complete. First features available in a vehicle surroundings are extracted from the received measured data if no or incomplete map data are present. It is checked whether a localization is possible within the vehicle surroundings with the aid of the first semantic features. If a localization is imprecise or not possible with the aid of the ascertained first features, second features are extracted from the received measured data. A digital map of vehicle surroundings is created based on the ascertained first features and/or the second features. Furthermore, a control unit, a computer program as well as a machine-readable memory medium are provided.
