Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for generating a raster map are provided. The method includes generating a first raster map having a first resolution based on acquired laser point cloud. The method further includes generating a second raster map having a second resolution by merging rasters in the first raster map, the second resolution being lower than the first resolution. In addition, the method further includes storing the first raster map and an association between the first raster map and the second raster map. Some embodiments of the present disclosure are capable of meeting different levels of navigation or positioning requirements by generating raster maps of multiple resolutions. Furthermore, some embodiments of the present disclosure store only the raster map having the highest resolution and the association between the various levels of maps, thereby saving the storage space.
