Abstract

Exploration and mapping in large unknown wild environment is really time-consuming. From satellite images, we can obtain road positional information. In this paper, we make accuracy assessment for Google Earth Pro and we propose a construction method of topological road network using Google Earth Pro. Global path planning on topological map provides reference direction to the local planning. Real-time vehicle experiment validates that Google Earth Pro has suitable accuracy to construct topological road network. Using road direction provided by topological map, vehicle can reach the destination quickly in large wild unknown environment.
