Abstract
Among other things, methods for generating maps using hyper-graph data structures are disclosed. The method can include receiving and storing data from at least one sensor of a vehicle in an environment. The method can include generating, based on the received data, a graph, having at least one node corresponding to at least one subgraph. The at least one subgraph can include subgraph nodes corresponding to geographical and/or logical positions. The subgraph nodes can be connected by subgraph edges representing spatial constraints and/or logical connections. The at least one subgraph can include contextual data classifying each of the subgraph nodes according to a property of the environment associated with the subgraph.
