Method and Device for Merging Digital Maps

Abstract

A method for merging map information from a first digital map and a second digital map is described. The method includes determining, for a subregion of the first and second digital map, a set of pairwise mappings between a first object from the first digital map and a second object from the second digital map in each case. The method includes determining a set of displacements that bring the set of mapped first and second objects into alignment with one another. The method includes determining a deformation function for deforming a partial grid for the subregion of the first and the second digital map depending on the set of displacements. The method includes using the deformation function to transfer map information from the subregion of the second digital map into the subregion of the first digital map.
