This information is used to construct a loss function and adjust the model parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional map update methods are used, then the map update process is simple, but the accuracy and reliability of lane-level map updates deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The map update model is segmented into two distinct networks: a prior encoding network that processes historical lane element data, and an update network that processes current road top view data. This segmentation allows each network to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The prior encoding network performs preliminary encoding of historical lane element data before the update network processes current road data. This preliminary action prepares refined feature representations that guide the update process, improving accuracy by incorporating prior knowledge while keeping the update network focused on detecting changes.
2Reliability
If comprehensive lane element data is processed, then the reliability of map updates improves, but the computational time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The model extracts only the essential features from comprehensive lane element data through the prior encoding network, which processes historical data offline to generate compact feature representations. This extraction approach maintains reliability by capturing critical information while reducing computational time for real-time update operations.
Solution Approach 2:
Historical lane element data is processed and encoded in advance by the prior encoding network, creating pre-computed feature representations. This preliminary action shifts computational burden to an offline preprocessing stage, improving real-time reliability without increasing online computational time.
3Manufacturing precision
If a complex loss function is constructed, then the training accuracy improves, but the ease of operation and implementation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A multi-component loss function is constructed that provides comprehensive feedback during training, including terms for lane element position accuracy, orientation accuracy, and topological consistency. This feedback mechanism guides the model to achieve high training accuracy by penalizing multiple aspects of prediction errors, though it increases implementation complexity.
