Abstract

Techniques for determining a match prediction associated with image data and map data associated with a vehicle environment are described herein. In some cases, the techniques described herein enable determining the match prediction based on: (i) an image segment that represents at least a portion of a lane marking as detected based on the image data, and (ii) a map segment that represents at least a portion of a lane marking as determined based on the map data. In some cases, to determine the match prediction, an example system determines: (i) a set of first errors between map points associated with the map segment and the image segment, and (ii) a set of second errors between image points associated with the image segment and the map segment.
