统一编码地图先验,提升自动驾驶的建图与规划性能。
Unified Map Prior Encoder for Mapping and Planning

- 设计双分支架构,融合矢量与栅格地图先验,自适应对齐与加权。
- 在nuScenes上建图指标提升5.9~7.1 mAP,规划误差降低30%以上。
- 支持多种地图输入组合,测试时仅用部分先验仍表现优异。
自动驾驶中的在线建图与端到端规划仍以传感器为中心,未能有效利用高精/标准矢量地图、栅格化标准地图和卫星影像等丰富地图先验,主要受限于异构性、位姿漂移及测试时可用性不一致。本文提出UMPE——统一地图先验编码器,可接收四类先验的任意子集,将其与鸟瞰图(BEV)特征融合,用于建图与规划。UMPE包含两个分支:矢量编码器通过逐帧SE(2)校正对齐高精/标准多段线,使用多频正弦特征编码点并生成带置信度得分的线段令牌;BEV查询通过置信度加权交叉注意力,并采用归一化通道门控缓解长度失衡,软性抑制不确定源。栅格编码器共享ResNet-18主干,通过FiLM在每阶段施加缩放与偏移,进行SE(2)微对齐,并通过零初始化残差融合注入先验,使网络从无害基线开始,仅学习添加有用信息。采用矢量→栅格的融合顺序,体现几何优先、外观次之的归纳偏置。在nuScenes建图任务中,UMPE将MapTRv2的mAP从61.5提升至67.4(+5.9),MapQR从66.4提升至71.7(+5.3)。在Argoverse2上,相比强基线提升+4.1 mAP。UMPE具备组合性:训练时使用全部先验,测试时即使仅提供单一先验,性能仍优于单先验模型,展现幂集鲁棒性。在nuScenes上使用VAD主干进行端到端规划,轨迹均方误差由0.72降至0.42米(-0.30米),碰撞率从0.22%降至0.12%(-0.10%),超越近期先验注入方法。结果表明,对异构地图先验进行统一且对齐感知的处理,可显著提升建图与规划效果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Online mapping and end-to-end (E2E) planning in autonomous driving remain largely sensor-centric, leaving rich map priors, including HD/SD vector maps, rasterized SD maps, and satellite imagery, underused because of heterogeneity, pose drift, and inconsistent availability at test time. We present UMPE, a Unified Map Prior Encoder that can ingest any subset of four priors and fuse them with BEV features for both mapping and planning. UMPE has two branches. The vector encoder pre-aligns HD/SD polylines with a frame-wise SE(2) correction, encodes points via multi-frequency sinusoidal features, and produces polyline tokens with confidence scores. BEV queries then apply cross-attention with confidence bias, followed by normalized channel-wise gating to avoid length imbalance and softly down-weight uncertain sources. The raster encoder shares a ResNet-18 backbone conditioned by FiLM with scaling and shift at every stage, performs SE(2) micro-alignment, and injects priors through zero-initialized residual fusion, so the network starts from a do-no-harm baseline and learns to add only useful prior evidence. A vector-then-raster fusion order reflects the inductive bias of geometry first, appearance second. On nuScenes mapping, UMPE lifts MapTRv2 from 61.5 to 67.4 mAP (+5.9) and MapQR from 66.4 to 71.7 mAP (+5.3). On Argoverse2, UMPE adds +4.1 mAP over strong baselines. UMPE is compositional: when trained with all priors, it outperforms single-prior models even when only one prior is available at test time, demonstrating powerset robustness. For E2E planning with the VAD backbone on nuScenes, UMPE reduces trajectory error from 0.72 to 0.42 m L2 on average (-0.30 m) and collision rate from 0.22% to 0.12% (-0.10%), surpassing recent prior-injection methods. These results show that a unified, alignment-aware treatment of heterogeneous map priors yields better mapping and better planning.
