High-definition (HD) maps are an essential component for autonomous vehicles, offering precise environmental information that is critical for navigation and safety. Despite recent progress in online mapping techniques, current methods frequently neglect the temporal and spatial coherence intrinsic to map data. This oversight leads to isolated predictions of each frame, causing inconsistencies in the shape and distri-bution of the same map elements across different frames. Such discontinuities not only hinder the seamless integration required for constructing a unified global HD map but also present a challenge to the accuracy of map representation. This paper introduces an innovative network architecture that addresses these limitations by exploiting the temporal and spatial consistency of map elements. The proposed network operates under the premise that, from a bird's-eye view (BEV), the geometric form and spatial arrangement of a map element are temporally stable across successive frames. By capitalizing on this temporal stability, the network improves the precision and integrity of map element detection, a key factor in the assembly of comprehensive global maps. Our approach has undergone rigorous evaluation, demonstrating remarkable per-formance. With a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 64.1 % on the nuScenes dataset, our method outperforms current state-of-the-art techniques, underscoring its adeptness at leveraging spatiotemporal correlations. This advancement represents a significant step forward in the evolution of HD map construction for autonomous driving applications.
