Abstract
A method and apparatus for identifying an intersection in an electronic map, and a computer readable medium are provided. An embodiment of the method includes: acquiring boundary information related to road boundaries from an electronic map; determining a topological relationship between the road boundaries in an area having a predetermined size in the electronic map based on the boundary information; and determining a distribution of an intersection in the area based on the topological relationship. The apparatus corresponding to the method, the device implementing the method of the present disclosure, and the computer readable medium are also provided. Through the technical solutions, the intersection may be automatically identified by detecting the road boundaries, which improves the efficiency of producing a high-precision map, and has the advantage of high accurate recall rate, strong universality, or simple method.
