Online vectorized map construction provides autonomous vehicles with essential, real-time semantic and geometric scene understanding. While leveraging prior maps presents an opportunity to improve accuracy, they are often biased due to outdated information or temporary road changes. Existing methods, which typically treat priors as fully reliable or only consider limited noise patterns, suffer severe performance degradation when these priors are imperfect. To address this, we propose PriorMaskMap, a robust framework for prior-guided vectorized map construction. Its first innovation is a Prior-Aware Confidence Estimator (PACE) that evaluates the input rasterized map against current visual observations. It assigns confidence scores to regions classified as reliable, erroneous, or blank, creating a foundational mask that guides two subsequent branches. In one branch, the Dual-Prior Query Generator (DPQG) selectively filters and embeds both rasterized and vectorized priors to initialize informative queries from trustworthy map structures. In the other, the Confidence-Guided Prior Fusion (CGPF) module spatially propagates and refines the mask, using the refined version to govern the fusion of BEV features with the prior map, thereby providing rich contextual representations for the map decoder. Evaluation on the nuScenes dataset shows that PriorMaskMap achieves superior mapping precision over existing approaches and exhibits marked robustness when provided with priors containing apparent errors.
