MAP DATA ADJUSTMENTS FOR ANOMALY CORRECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318977 titled 'MAP DATA ADJUSTMENTS FOR ANOMALY CORRECTION
The techniques described in this patent application involve identifying buildings that intersect or overlap a road and independently scaling the buildings until they no longer overlap.
- The computer system identifies an intersection between two different types of polygons.
- It selects a pivot point within the first polygon to start the scaling operation.
- Through iterative scaling, the system transforms the polygon to avoid the intersection condition.
- The transformed polygon is then rendered on a map view for display.
Potential Applications: - Urban planning and development - Navigation systems for accurate mapping - Real estate assessment and valuation
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate representation of buildings on maps - Helps avoid visual clutter and confusion in map displays
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in mapping and navigation - Enhanced visual representation of urban environments - Streamlined real estate assessment processes
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Mapping and Visualization Technology for Urban Development" This technology can be utilized by urban planners, GIS companies, real estate agencies, and navigation app developers to enhance their mapping and visualization capabilities.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of mapping systems? - The technology allows for precise scaling of buildings to avoid overlaps, ensuring accurate representation on maps. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for urban development? - This technology can streamline urban planning processes and improve the visual representation of cities on maps.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques described herein are used to identify buildings that intersect or otherwise overlap a road, and independently scaling the buildings until they no longer overlap. for example, a computer system may identify an intersection condition corresponding to an intersection between a first polygon of a first type and a second polygon of a second type. the first polygon may include a set of edges connected by a set of vertexes. the computer system may select a first pivot point for the first polygon, which includes a vertex of the set of vertexes or a midpoint of one edge of the set of edges. the computer system may perform an iterative scaling operation. the computer system may determine, based on the iterative scaling operation, a polygon transformation that avoids the intersection condition. the computer system may cause rendering, on a display, of a map view that includes the polygon transformation.
