Robust Road Sign Feature Extraction Through Data Curation and Multi-Task Learning for Global Map Creation
August 2025 • Godson Michael D’silva, Vinayak Ashok Bharadi
This research presents a comprehensive approach to enhancing road sign feature extraction for global map creation through strategic improvements in data quality, feature learning, and network architecture. Designed to address core challenges in HERE Technologies' map creation pipeline (US patent PAN: 18/988231), our approach significantly improves the Stage 1 component of their patented three-stage framework by replacing the previous YOLOv7-based implementation with a more robust and effective solution. The me…
