Mapping Data Measurement and Creation Services

Some of the data production services we provide are

• Point cloud noise removal :
  The process of mapping involves the accumulation of 3D scans over time. These scans often contain undesired objects such as pedestrians, static or dynamic vehicles, or other objects considered noise. Such noise can negatively impact the quality of the map. To address this issue, our team has developed extensive knowledge and experience in identifying and removing objects from the scan data. In addition, we utilize advanced techniques to fill in missing parts of the map, resulting in a clean and accurate point cloud. Our commitment to delivering high-quality data ensures our clients receive the most reliable and precise mapping services.

• Generation of HD maps :
  Effective navigation for autonomous robots necessitates self-localizing within a map and estimating the optimal path to reach a predetermined destination. Point Cloud maps are an excellent geometric data source that accurately reflects the real world. However, these maps lack topological information, requiring additional data regarding critical locations and viable paths. On the other hand, HD Maps provide detailed information about available lanes, paths, traffic lights, and traffic regulations. Our team has extensive experience developing these maps based on industry-standard practices, enabling the deployment of safer autonomous robots.

• Localization evaluation :
  The process of self-localization with the help of a map and an autonomous robot equipped with sensors is a complex task. Various factors can contribute to inaccuracies in self-positioning on the map, resulting in reduced mapping efficiency. Our organization provides objective and quantifiable localization evaluation services that continuously assess the localization algorithms under different scenarios. These assessments are based on rigorous testing procedures and help to identify potential shortcomings in the algorithms, enabling us to provide practical solutions to clients. Our expertise in localization evaluation ensures that our clients’ mapping results are reliable and accurate.

• 3D model creation :
  In specific applications, it is imperative to have precise and accurate simulations of scenarios for autonomous robots. However, these simulations require a “digital twin” – an exact 3D model representation of the scenario. MAP IV can generate highly accurate 3D models with the help of point cloud maps.
