Extraction of Semantically Rich High-Definition Maps from Spatial Representations of an Open Pit Mine [link]Ieeexpl  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Hauling of material by automated vehicles can be one of the sustainable solutions for the increasing economic and environmental challenges in the mining industry. For this, vehicles of various sizes must drive through an ever-changing environment, due to the destructive nature of resource extraction. Therefore, we show our solution to create automatically semantically rich high-definition maps, which can be used for efficient and safe navigation within the mine. In contrast to navigation on pure spatial geometry-based data like point clouds, high-definition maps have the advantage, that semantic information is recognised by the navigation system. But manually created high-definition maps need frequent updates due to the terrain changes, which makes them inflexible for most applications. In this paper, we will show, how Lanelet2- maps can be generated automatically from point clouds with a multistep algorithm and how these maps are adjusted to the long-term changes of the environment. For evaluation, we present our findings in some real-world examples and synthetically generated point clouds of the main edge-case situations.
