VEHICLE MAP DATA MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826259 titled 'VEHICLE MAP DATA MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a computer system that can analyze lane boundaries. - The computer system includes a processor and memory to store instructions. - The system receives a set of points that indicate a lane boundary. - It selects a first subset of points from the set, excluding the first point. - Based on this subset, the system determines a path for the lane boundary. - If the first point is found to be a certain distance away from the path, it is added to the subset. - The purpose of this innovation is to accurately identify and track lane boundaries for various applications such as autonomous vehicles or lane departure warning systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive a set of points indicating a lane boundary; select a first subset of the points, wherein the set of points includes a first point that is not in the first subset; determine a path of the lane boundary based on the first subset of the points; and, upon determining that the first point is greater than a threshold distance from the path, add the first point to the first subset.
