Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine map information defining a map, wherein the map comprises a plurality of regions. A quality level is assigned to each region of the plurality of regions based on map information available for that region. The quality level is associated with at least one of: a resolution metric, a volume metric, a recency metric, a verification metric, or an elegance metric associated with the map information available for that region. A first region of the plurality of regions is identified that is at risk of being downgraded to a lower quality level. Instructions are issued to one or more vehicles that cause the one or more vehicles to traverse the first region and capture sensor data within the first region.
