Abstract
A system for generating a map includes a processing device configured to determine a provenance of each received map of a plurality of maps, parse each received map into objects of interest, and compare the objects of interest to identify one or more sets of objects representing a common feature. For each set of objects, the processing device is configured to select a subset of the set of objects based on the provenance associated with each object in the set of objects, and calculate a similarity metric for each object in the subset. The similarity metric is selected from an alignment between an object and a reference object in the subset, and/or a positional relationship between the object and the reference object. The processing device is configured to generate a common object representing the common feature based on the similarity metric, and generate a merged map including the common object.
