Abstract
Techniques for determining distortion in a map caused by measurement errors are discussed herein. For example, such techniques may include implementing a model to estimate map distortion between the map frame and the inertial frame. Data such as sensor data, map data, and vehicle state data may be input into the model. A map distortion value output from the model may be used to compensate vehicle operations in a local region by approximating the distortion as linearly varying about the region. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, can be controlled to traverse an environment based on the trajectory.
