Autoware Mapping Working Group
Autoware Mapping WG is responsible for all activities related to creating and sharing details of mapping hardware systems, mapping software packages, creating point cloud maps and HD-Maps for the selected ODDs, sensor calibration techniques for Lidar, GNSS/INS, Camera and aligning with members who have experience in the field and encouraging sharing of knowledge in the related technologies.
The group’s main goal is to improve the current mapping pipeline and support companies who are new to this domain for them to deploy autonomous vehicles using Autoware software.
The WG is open to anyone who wants to contribute and learn AV mapping technologies.
- Yuki Kitsukawa & Patiphon Narksri (MapIV)
- Armağan Arslan (Leo Drive)
Mapping Working Group has divided its goals into 4 categories w.r.t. their priorities are to be developed as Short, Mid, Long & Strech Goals. The mapping WG proposal presentation could be viewed here: Mapping-WG Proposal.
-
Comparison of the ready open source tools and choosing or preferring a tool and giving support for one tool and creating tutorial map documentation
-
Creating documentation for software and hardware tested/used by members as a reference to update the architecture page accordingly. map architecture
-
Add geo-referencing to NDT Mapping (any other open source tool) so that separate maps could be added to each other to create large area point cloud maps
- Test the calibration techniques of IMU-Camera-Lidar, further develop or use the techniques for mapping Related Issue
- Remove all the vehicles & pedestrians from the point cloud map using the perception
- Add camera feature-based mapping & localization techniques
- Integrate Eagleye into Autoware to improve the ndt-based localization GNSS/INS-based localization
- Implement ortho-image map loader into Autoware to integrate Hawkeye
- Test and develop mapping techniques to be used for localization in highway/high speed
- Development & Support for Autoware to use commercial (e.g. Tomtom) or other open source formats like opendrive
- Create semi-Automatic HD-Mapping
- Developing Eagleeye to be used for post-processing to be used for Mobile Mapping System (MMS)
- Creating a mapping software that uses RTK GNSS/INS and fuses NDT Mapping for geo-referenced indoor-outdoor point cloud and feature map generation
- Create colorized point cloud for simulation & lanelet2 generation
- Create & publish a mapping database where people could reach the point cloud map and HD-Map of cities
- Create a mapping hardware kit that could be shipped to the selected ODD vehicles location
- Contribute to Cloud-Compare (or similar open source projects) or invite to AWF for better synchronization with a point cloud editor.
- Detect HD-Map changes on the move
See the discussions with the Meeting:localization_mapping_wg label
The Mapping work group meets weekly at 10:00 Am UTC (subject to change) every Wednesday. For meeting information, see the the Autoware Foundation's events calendar for when the upcoming meetings will be held. If you use Google Calendar, you can subscribe to this calendar directly to have it displayed alongside your own calendar events. To do this, click the "+ Google Calendar" link in the bottom right corner of that site. Note that this will not add the events to your own calendar, meaning you may not receive notifications about meetings starting soon. For those not using Google Calendar, you can add the calendar to your own by downloading it as an ICS file and importing that into your calendar software.
The meetings and other announcements will be made every week at Autoware Discord. To join Autoware Discord server please use the link: https://autoware.herokuapp.com/
