Questions about Travelable Area Extraction

Question 1

How does the apparatus determine the road structure rules for extracting the travelable area?

The apparatus determines road structure rules based on predefined parameters such as the distance from one end to the other end of a traveling area in a road.

Question 2

What are the potential limitations of extracting travelable areas from three-dimensional data?

The potential limitations may include inaccuracies in data input, variations in road conditions, and the complexity of road structures affecting the extraction process.


Original Abstract Submitted

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a travelable area extraction apparatus and the like capable of extracting a travelable area from three-dimensional data. A disclosed travelable area extraction apparatus includes: a three-dimensional data input unit that inputs three-dimensional data from a three-dimensional data acquisition unit mounted in a vehicle; a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information of the vehicle; and a travelable area extraction unit that extracts a travelable area from the three-dimensional data on the basis of the position information of the vehicle and a road structure rule indicating a distance from one end to the other end of a traveling area in a road.
