Abstract
A method is provided for generating a representation of an environment. Methods may include: determining location information of a vehicle including a road segment and a direction of travel; identifying features of the road segment based on sensor data from sensors carried by the vehicle; projecting the features of the road segment onto a ground plane of the road segment; defining bins across a width of the road segment; laterally positioning the defined bins relative to a determination of positions of the features of the road segment; consolidating detected features of each bin to define features of the road segment; and guiding an autonomous vehicle along the road segment based, at least in part, on the consolidated detected features of the road segment.
