Method and apparatus for creating an optimized localization map and method for creating a localization map for a vehicle

An apparatus for creating an optimized localization map for a vehicle, comprising:

• an arrangement for furnishing at least one localization map that represents at least one position, read in by a vehicle reading-in unit, of a landmark;
• an arrangement for reading in a radar map via an interface, the radar map one of having and mapping at least one further position, furnished by way of radar measurement by a satellite, of the landmark in the radar map;
• and
• an arrangement for generating and storing an optimized localization map using the localization map and the radar map, such that upon generation of the optimized localization map, the read-in position of the landmark is altered using the further position to yield a modified position of the landmark, and is stored in order to create the optimized localization map.

A computer program that is configured to at least one of execute and control a method for creating an optimized localization map for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• furnishing at least one localization map that represents at least one position, read in by a vehicle reading-in unit, of a landmark;
• reading in a radar map via an interface, the radar map one of having and mapping at least one further position, furnished by way of radar measurement by a satellite, of the landmark in the radar map;
• and
• generating and storing an optimized localization map using the localization map and the radar map, such that upon generation of the optimized localization map, the read-in position of the landmark is altered using the further position to yield a modified position of the landmark, and is stored in order to create the optimized localization map.

A tangible and non-transitory machine-readable memory medium on which a computer program is stored that is configured to at least one of execute and control a method for creating an optimized localization map for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• furnishing at least one localization map that represents at least one position, read in by a vehicle reading-in unit, of a landmark;
• reading in a radar map via an interface, the radar map one of having and mapping at least one further position, furnished by way of radar measurement by a satellite, of the landmark in the radar map;
• and
• generating and storing an optimized localization map using the localization map and the radar map, such that upon generation of the optimized localization map, the read-in position of the landmark is altered using the further position to yield a modified position of the landmark, and is stored in order to create the optimized localization map.
