Learning to integrate vision data into road network data
share
Road networks are the core infrastructure for connected and autonomous vehicles, but creating meaningful representations for machine learning applications is a challenging task. In this work, we propose to integrate remote sensing vision data into road network data for improved embeddings with graph neural networks. We present a segmentation of road edges based on spatio-temporal road and traffic characteristics, which allows to enrich the attribute set of road networks with visual features of satellite imagery and digital surface models. We show that both, the segmentation and the integration of vision data can increase performance on a road type classification task, and we achieve state-of-the-art performance on the OSM+DiDi Chuxing dataset on Chengdu, China.
