Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for updating map data. The techniques may include detecting a traffic light in a first image, determining, based at least in part on the traffic light detected in the first image, a proposed three-dimensional position of the traffic light in a three-dimensional coordinate system associated with map data. The proposed three-dimensional position may then be projected into a second image to determine a two-dimensional position of the traffic light in the second image and the second image may be annotated, as an annotated image, with a proposed traffic light location indicator associated with the traffic light. The techniques further include causing a display to display the annotated image to a user, receiving user input associated with the annotated images, and updating, as updated map data, the map data to include a position of the traffic light in the map data based at least in part on the user input.
