MAP GENERATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240185521 titled 'MAP GENERATION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The map generation device described in the abstract includes a satellite image acquisition unit, a change point determination unit, and a map generation unit. The device acquires satellite images, determines change points in the images over time, and generates maps based on this information. The usage status of parking lots can be reflected in the generated maps.

  • Satellite image acquisition unit acquires satellite images captured by an artificial satellite.
  • Change point determination unit identifies change points in the satellite images over time.
  • Map generation unit creates maps based on the information of the determined change points.
  • The usage status of parking lots is reflected in the generated maps.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in urban planning, traffic management, and real-time monitoring of parking lot availability.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently monitoring and managing parking lots, providing real-time information to users and authorities.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved parking lot utilization, reduced traffic congestion, and enhanced urban planning based on usage data.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing parking lot usage, improving traffic flow, and enhancing urban development are potential commercial applications of this technology.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include satellite image analysis systems for various purposes, such as environmental monitoring or disaster response.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device handle changes in parking lot availability in real-time?

The abstract does not provide details on the real-time monitoring capabilities of the device.

What is the accuracy of the change point determination in the satellite images?

The abstract does not mention the accuracy or precision of the change point determination process.


Original Abstract Submitted

the map generation device includes a satellite image acquisition unit that acquires a satellite image captured by an artificial satellite, a change point determination unit that determines a change point of the satellite image with time based on the satellite image, and a map generation unit that generates a map based on information of the determined change point. based on the satellite images, the usage status of the parking lot is reflected in the map.
