The Maps captured by robots in real environment are usually incomplete, distorted, and noisy. To evaluate the quality of these kind of maps is an important problem in the field. In this paper we present an algorithm to assess the quality of the map generated by the robot. First, localized features are calculated on the pre-evaluated map. Second, nearest neighbor of each valid local feature is searched between the map and the ground truth map. The quality of the map is defined according to the number of the features having the correspondence in the ground truth map. Three feature detectors are used, which are the Harris corner detector, Hough Transform and Scale Invariant Feature Transform
