AZooxautonomous prototype vehicle, outfitted with sensors for sensing and high-definition mapping.

Ahigh-definition map(HD map) is a highly accuratemapused primarily in the field ofautonomous driving,[1] [2] containing details not normally present on traditional maps.[3][4]HD maps are often captured using an array of sensors, such asLiDARs,radars,digital cameras,andGPS,[3][5][6]and they can also be constructed usingaerial imagery.[7][8]Such maps can be precise at acentimetrelevel.[3][9]

High-definition maps for self-driving cars usually include map elements such as road shape,road marking,traffic signs,and barriers.[4][10]Maintaininghigh accuracyis one of the biggest challenges in building HD maps of real-world roads. With regard to accuracy, there are two main focus points that determine the quality of an HD map:

  • Global accuracy (positioning of a feature on the surface of the Earth)
  • Local accuracy (positioning of a feature in relation to road elements around it).

In areas with good GPS reception it is possible to achieve a global accuracy of less than 3 cm deviation using satellite signals and correction data from base stations.

In GPS-denied areas, however, inaccuracy rises with distance traveled through the area, being largest in its middle. This means that the maximum GPS error can be expressed as a percentage of the distance traveled through a GPS-denied area: this value is less than 0.5%.[11]
