Abstract
Systems and methods for vehicular navigation are disclosed herein. One embodiment receives, from one or more sensors, sensor data pertaining to a roadway section that is proximate to a vehicle; generates segmented sensor data to identify, in the roadway section, one or more boundary lines of one or more lanes; determines, from the sensor data, a direction of travel associated with at least one of the one or more lanes; applies a graphical model to the segmented sensor data to generate an output that includes a set of discrete points corresponding to the one or more boundary lines; generates an objective map of the roadway section from the set of discrete points; and uses the objective map to assist the vehicle in navigating the roadway section.
