Artificial intelligence application high-precision map data production Baidu will build autonomous driving models

At the event, Baidu and Jianghuai Automobile revealed the clear cooperation plan for the first time. The two sides will launch the auto-driving production model in 2019. This has also become the first batch of self-driving solutions since Baidu released the Apollo open platform. Milestone event.

According to reports, Jianghuai Automobile is the first important partner of Baidu Apollo's automatic driving open platform. Baidu will provide Jianghuai Automobile with comprehensive solutions including high-precision maps, self-positioning, environmental awareness, decision-making and other key aspects of automatic driving. The two sides will launch auto-driving models in the second half of 2019, and will be able to face the market after passing the acceptance. Mass production is carried out.

Gu Weiwei, general manager of Baidu Smart Vehicles Division, said, “Baidu is the only company in China that has a high-precision map leading technology and a complete layout of autonomous driving solutions.” He believes that Baidu’s cooperation with Jianghuai will Since becoming the Apollo platform, the first batch of high-precision maps have reached the milestone of automatic driving production.

High-precision maps are the key to auto-driving planning decisions and ensuring security, and are also important data for Baidu's Apollo cloud service. In Baidu Shanghai R&D Center, Baidu explained the whole process of standardization production of high-precision maps to the media in detail, and invited the media to take the high-precision map collection vehicle to experience the field collection and data pre-processing.

In terms of the degree of refinement, Baidu's high-precision map can realize three-dimensional reconstruction of almost all objects on the real road, and finely depict hundreds of elements and attributes such as traffic signs, lane lines and guardrail roadsides on the road, with a relative accuracy of 0.1. -0.2 meters, the highest level in the industry.

In terms of production efficiency, Baidu has pioneered the widespread use of artificial intelligence technology in the production of map data. Based on world-leading technologies such as pattern recognition, deep learning, 3D reconstruction, and point cloud information processing, Baidu's high-precision map data is super-automatically processed. 90%, can automatically identify hundreds of targets such as traffic signs, ground signs, lane lines, signal lights, etc., with an accuracy rate of over 95%.

In terms of coverage, Baidu has the largest collection fleet in China, forming a completely autonomous software and hardware collection platform, which will achieve full coverage of national high-speed and urban expressways within the year. At the same time, relying on multi-source-aware data processing, cloud service center and data center and other Intelligent Map platform, Baidu high-precision map can achieve minute-level updates.
