Overview
This project introduces MapQR, an end-to-end method with an emphasis on enhancing query capabilities for constructing online vectorized maps. Although the map construction is essentially a point set prediction task, MapQR utilizes instance queries rather than point queries. These instance queries are scattered for the prediction of point sets and subsequently gathered for the final matching. This query design, called the scatter-and-gather query, shares content information in the same map element and avoids possible inconsistency of content information in point queries. We further exploit prior information to enhance an instance query by adding positional information embedded from their reference points. Together with a simple and effective improvement of a BEV encoder, the proposed MapQR achieves the best mean average precision (mAP) and maintains good efficiency on both nuScenes and Argoverse 2.
The main contribution is the proposed scatter-and-gather query, illustrated in the following figure.

nuScenes dataset
Method | Backbone | Epoch | mAP1 | mAP2 | Config | Download |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MapQR | R50 | 24 | 43.3 | 66.4 | config | model |
MapQR | R50 | 110 | 50.5 | 72.6 | config | model |
Argoverse 2 dataset
Method | Backbone | Epoch | dim | mAP1 | mAP2 | Config | Download |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MapQR | R50 | 6 | 2 | 44.8 | 68.1 | config | model |
MapQR | R50 | 6 | 3 | 41.2 | 65.4 | config | model |
- mAP1 is measured under the thresholds { 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 }
- mAP2 is measured under the thresholds { 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 }
Getting Started
These settings keep the same as MapTRv2
