Abstract

The present application provides a map data updating method, an apparatus, a system and a storage medium. The method includes: determining a road section identifier of a road section to be updated in a map; sending data collection instruction information to an unmanned vehicle, where the data collection instruction information includes: the road section identifier, and a current number of collection times of the road section corresponding to the road section identifier; receiving road section information which is sent by the unmanned vehicle and which corresponds to the road section identifier; acquiring a road section updated map according to the road section information; sending the road section updated map to the unmanned vehicle.

Claims (51)

sending data collection instruction information to an unmanned vehicle, wherein the data collection instruction information comprises: the road section identifier, and a current number of collection times of the road section corresponding to the road section identifier;

receiving road section information which is sent by the unmanned vehicle and which corresponds to the road section identifier;

acquiring a road section updated map according to the road section information;

sending the road section updated map to the unmanned vehicle.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the road section identifier of the road section to be updated in the map comprises:

receiving a map update request sent by the unmanned vehicle or a user terminal, wherein the map update request comprises current location information of the unmanned vehicle or the user terminal;

determining, according to the current location information, a road section identifier of a road section where the unmanned vehicle or the user terminal is located in the map.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before receiving the road section information which is sent by the unmanned vehicle and which corresponds to the road section identifier, the method further comprises:

judging whether the current number of collection times of the road section corresponding to the road section identification is greater than a preset threshold; in a case that the current number of collection times is greater than the preset threshold, sending collection success information to the unmanned vehicle; wherein the collection success information is used to instruct the unmanned vehicle to stop collection work for the road section corresponding to the road section identifier.

4 . A map data updating method, comprising:

receiving data collection instruction information sent by a cloud server; wherein the data collection instruction information comprises: a road section identifier, and a current number of collection times of a road section corresponding to the road section identifier;

collecting road section information according to the data collection instruction information;

sending the road section information to the cloud server, so that the cloud server acquires a road section updated map according to the road section information;

receiving the road section updated map sent by the cloud server.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the collecting the road section information according to the data collection instruction information comprises:

in a case that a current position of the unmanned vehicle matches the road section corresponding to the road section identifier, judging whether the current number of collection times is greater than a preset threshold, and in a case that the current number of collection times is not greater than the preset threshold, collecting road section information corresponding to the road section identifier; wherein the road section information comprises: location information, environmental information and image information of the road section.

6 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein after collecting the road section information according to the data collection instruction information, the method further comprises:

performing a mapping preprocessing based on the road section information to acquire road section information in a preset format.

7 . A map data updating apparatus, comprising:

a memory and a processor, the memory storing executable instructions of the processor; wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a road section identifier of a road section to be updated in a map;

send data collection instruction information to an unmanned vehicle, wherein the data collection instruction information comprises: the road section identifier, and a current number of collection times of the road section corresponding to the road section identifier;

receive road section information which is sent by the unmanned vehicle and which corresponds to the road section identifier;

acquire a road section updated map according to the road section information;

send the road section updated map to the unmanned vehicle.

8 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a map update request sent by the unmanned vehicle or a user terminal, wherein the map update request comprises current location information of the unmanned vehicle or the user terminal;

determine, according to the current location information, a road section identifier of a road section where the unmanned vehicle or the user terminal is located in the map.

9 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to, before receiving the road section information which is sent by the unmanned vehicle and which corresponds to the road section identifier:

judge whether the current number of collection times of the road section corresponding to the road section identification is greater than a preset threshold; in a case that the current number of collection times is greater than the preset threshold, send collection success information to the unmanned vehicle; wherein the collection success information is used to instruct the unmanned vehicle to stop collection work for the road section corresponding to the road section identifier.

10 . A map data updating apparatus, comprising:

a memory and a processor, the memory storing executable instructions of the processor; wherein the processor is configured to execute the map data updating method according to claim 4 .

11 . The map data updating apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

in a case that a current position of the unmanned vehicle matches the road section corresponding to the road section identifier, judge whether the current number of collection times is greater than a preset threshold, and in a case that the current number of collection times is not greater than the preset threshold, collect road section information corresponding to the road section identifier; wherein the road section information comprises: location information, environmental information and image information of the road section.

12 . The map data updating apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to, after collecting the road section information according to the data collection instruction information:

perform a mapping preprocessing based on the road section information to acquire road section information in a preset format.

13 . A map data updating system, comprising: a memory and a processor, the memory storing executable instructions of the processor; wherein the processor is configured to execute the map data updating method according to claim 1 by executing the executable instructions.

14 . The map data updating system according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a map update request sent by the unmanned vehicle or a user terminal, wherein the map update request comprises current location information of the unmanned vehicle or the user terminal;

determine, according to the current location information, a road section identifier of a road section where the unmanned vehicle or the user terminal is located in the map.

15 . The map data updating system according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to, before receiving the road section information which is sent by the unmanned vehicle and which corresponds to the road section identifier:

judge whether the current number of collection times of the road section corresponding to the road section identification is greater than a preset threshold; in a case that the current number of collection times is greater than the preset threshold, send collection success information to the unmanned vehicle; wherein the collection success information is used to instruct the unmanned vehicle to stop collection work for the road section corresponding to the road section identifier.
