Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for generating a map, the method comprising:
generating, by a computer system and based on sensor data captured by a first sensor of a first vehicle, an input map corresponding to a three-dimensional representation of a route traveled by the first vehicle;
detecting, by the computer system, objects represented in the sensor data, wherein the detecting comprises assigning a corresponding class label to features associated with the same object, each class label being selected from a set of predefined object classes;
generating, by the computer system, a bounding box around each detected object;
filtering, by the computer system and based on one or more criteria, the input map to generate a filtered map, wherein:
the filtering comprises automatically removing features that satisfy the one or more criteria,
the one or more criteria identify objects that are irrelevant to determining a location of a second vehicle with reference to the filtered map, and
the one or more criteria comprise at least one object class such that at least some features are removed based on having been assigned a class label corresponding to the at least one object class and further based on belonging to the same bounding box; and

transmitting, by the computer system, the filtered map to the second vehicle, wherein the filtered map is processed by a navigation system of the second vehicle to determine a location of the second vehicle while the second vehicle is traveling along the same route.
