1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
receive an aerial image of a geographic region;
identify at least one potential map object within the aerial image;
determine at least one shadow area associated with the at least one potential map object within the aerial image;
identify at least one traffic camera proximate to the location of the at least one potential map object;
capture proximate image data of the least one potential map object via the at least one traffic camera;
generate location data for the at least one map object based at least in part on the aerial image and proximate image data of the least one potential map object, and
generate routing data in response to the location data generated for at least one map object, wherein the routing data generated is used to navigate an autonomous vehicle to the geographic region within which the potential map object has been located.
