receiving a localized image including a photo depicting a driving environment and location data associated with the photo;
identifying, using an image recognition module, a roadway feature depicted in the photo;
generating, using a photogrammetry module, a point cloud based upon the photo and the location data, wherein the point cloud comprises a set of data points representing the driving environment in a three dimensional (“3D”) space;
localizing the point cloud by assigning a location to the point cloud based upon the location data;
determining a priority for each of the set of data points based upon a relevance of each point in accurately depicting the identified roadway feature; and
generating, based upon the determined priority, the enhanced base map that includes the identified roadway feature.
