Intersection detection for mapping in autonomous systems and applications

Abstract

In various examples, intersections may be identified using sensor data for mapping in autonomous or semi-autonomous systems and applications. Systems and methods are disclosed that receive sensor data, such as image data, generated using one or more sensor of one or more vehicles navigating within an environment. The systems and methods may then use the sensor data to determine the locations and/or layouts of intersections within the environment and update a map to indicate the locations and/or layouts. For instance, the sensor data may be analyzed to detect the locations of the intersections, such as the locations of the boundaries of the intersections for which the vehicles navigated through. The map may then be updated to indicate the locations of the intersections by indicating the locations of the boundaries within the map, such as by using bounding shapes that are generated based on the locations of the boundaries.
