Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present application are included to facilitate understanding, and are to be considered merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the application. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

With the development of unmanned technology, electronic maps are widely used. Different elements such as traffic lights, signs, speed limit signs, zebra crossings and the like can be included in the electronic map, and accordingly, when the electronic map is built, various elements such as the zebra crossings and the like in the electronic map need to be built.

In order to distinguish between a zebra crossing on a road and a zebra crossing in an electronic map, the zebra crossing on the road may be referred to as a physical zebra crossing and the zebra crossing in the electronic map may be referred to as an electronic zebra crossing.

The zebra stripes on the road, i.e. the zebra stripes in the actual road scene, can be understood as the zebra stripes in the physical coordinate system or as the zebra stripes in the world coordinate system.

The zebra stripes in the electronic map may be understood as zebra stripes in the electronic map coordinate system, and the electronic map coordinate system may be a three-dimensional coordinate system or a two-dimensional coordinate system. For example, if the electronic map is a stereoscopic electronic map, the electronic map coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system; if the electronic map is a plane-style electronic map, the electronic map coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system.

In general, in order to make an electronic map, data information (i.e., a data source) for making the electronic map may be generally acquired, and the data information may be generally coordinate information of physical points for making the electronic map.

Accordingly, in the related art, a method for generating an electronic zebra stripes is generally adopted, which includes: and drawing corresponding lines according to the coordinate information of the physical zebra stripes in a preset electronic map coordinate system, and rendering the drawn lines so as to generate the electronic zebra stripes in the electronic map.

However, through generating the electronic zebra stripes according to the coordinate information, the electronic zebra stripes can only represent the content of the position dimension, so that the dimension of the content of the electronic zebra stripes is single, the generated electronic zebra stripes lack diversity and integrity, and the technical problem of low electronic zebra stripes is caused.

In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, the inventors of the present application have creatively worked to obtain the inventive concept of the present application: according to the data source, determining an initial zebra crossing and a bounding box corresponding to the physical zebra crossing respectively, determining relative position information of physical points forming the physical zebra crossing in the bounding box, and according to the relative position information and the obtained mapping corresponding to the physical zebra crossing, rendering the initial zebra crossing to obtain an electronic map, so that the electronic zebra crossing can represent contents of multiple dimensions, such as position dimension, color dimension, texture dimension and the like.

As can be seen from the above analysis of the related art, in order to distinguish the zebra stripes in the actual scene from the zebra stripes in the electronic map, the zebra stripes in the actual scene may be referred to as physical zebra stripes and the zebra stripes in the electronic map may be referred to as electronic zebra stripes, but in the embodiment, the understanding of the physical zebra stripes may refer to the understanding of the physical zebra stripes in the related art, while the initial zebra stripes may be understood as electronic zebra stripes in the related art, and the electronic zebra stripes in the embodiment based on the inventive concept of the present application may be understood as zebra stripes that may represent contents of multiple dimensions after rendering the initial zebra stripes.

That is, the physical zebra stripes in the present embodiment can be understood as physical zebra stripes in the related art; the initial zebra stripes in this embodiment can be understood as electronic zebra stripes in the related art; the electronic zebra stripes in this embodiment may be understood as zebra stripes obtained by combining with map rendering based on the electronic zebra stripes of the related art.

That is, the initial zebra stripes in the present embodiment are the zebra stripes that are not rendered by the combined map, and the electronic zebra stripes are the zebra stripes obtained by combining the map with the initial zebra stripes.

The application provides a method and a device for generating an electronic zebra crossing based on an electronic map, which are applied to intelligent traffic and vehicle road cooperation in artificial intelligence so as to achieve the technical effect of improving the visualization of the electronic map.
