Abstract
A method, an apparatus and a computer program for real-time generation of functional road maps. The method comprises obtaining a real-time input from a sensor mounted on a vehicle, that captures a front view of a road ahead of the vehicle and processing thereof by a neural network to generate a functional map of the road ahead of the vehicle. Each pixel in the functional map is associated with a predetermined relative position to the vehicle. A content of each pixel is assigned a set of values, each of which represents a functional feature relating to a location at a corresponding predetermined relative position to the pixel. The processing is performed without relying on a pre-determined precise mapping. The method further comprises providing the functional map to an autonomous navigation system of the vehicle, to autonomously drive the vehicle in accordance with functional features represented by the functional map.
