Device and Method for Determining Map Data on the Basis of Observations - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034285 titled 'Device and Method for Determining Map Data on the Basis of Observations
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a device that determines map data for a specific route portion.
- The device acquires two sets of observations during two separate trips along the route portion.
- It calculates a measure of similarity for each possible pair of observations from the two sets.
- Based on the measure of similarity, it determines one-to-one associations between observations from the two sets.
- Using these associations, the device determines the map data for the route portion.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device for determining map data with respect to a route portion, configured to acquire a first set of first observations during a first trip along the route portion and a second set of second observations during a second trip along the route portion, determine values of a measure of similarity for different possible observation pairs each consisting of one first observation and one second observation, determine, on the basis of the values of the measure of similarity for different possible observation pairs, an overall association with one or more one-to-one associations between, in each case, one first observation from the first set and one second observation from the second set. The device is also configured to determine the map data with respect to the route portion on the basis of the overall association.
