System and method for map vectorization in advanced driving assistance system

Abstract

One embodiment provides a system and method for generating vectorized maps. During operation, the system can obtain labeled training samples comprising images and vectorized ground truth information associated with the images. The system can generate, based on a machine learning model, a prediction output for each training sample, the prediction output comprising a vectorized map. The system can apply a differentiable rasterization technique to a vectorized map element within the vectorized map to obtain a segmentation mask, apply the differentiable rasterization technique to the vectorized ground truth information associated with the vectorized map element to obtain a ground truth segmentation mask, compute a segmentation loss function based on the segmentation mask and the ground truth mask, and update the machine learning model based on the segmentation loss function, thereby facilitating optimized generation of vectorized maps.
