Abstract
Embodiments include apparatus and method for collecting observation data for updating a geographic database. An initial observation is collected by a first mobile device, a first vehicle, or a first sensor. Along with the geographic position, data indicative of the first observation is send to a server. The central server may analyze of the initial observation data to determine if additional observations should be made and define a bounding box from the geographic position of the first mobile device and the analysis of the initial observation data. A request for additional observations is generated and sent to at least one second mobile device, second vehicle, or second sensor based on the bounding box.
Claims17
A method for modification of a geographic database, the method comprising:
- receiving a geographic position and associated initial observation data for an object from a first mobile device;
- performing, by a processor, an analysis of the initial observation data with respect to the geographic database;
- determining, by the processor, a bounding box from the geographic position of the first mobile device;
- determining hardware requirements for additional observations;
- generating a request for additional observations from at least one second mobile device based on the analysis of the initial observation data with respect to the geographic database and based on the hardware requirements;
- sending the request for additional observations to the at least one second mobile device traveling in a geographic area, the request being based on the bounding box;
- receiving additional observations for the object from the at least one second mobile device;
- and
- updating a data record associated with the object in the geographic database based on the additional observations.
An apparatus for collecting observation data for updating a geographic database, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform;
- identifying a geographic position and associated initial observation data for an object from a first mobile device;
- determining a bounding box or road segment from the geographic position of the first mobile device and the initial observation data;
- identifying at least one approaching vehicle associated with the bounding box or road segment in response to the initial observation data;
- determining a hardware requirement for additional observations;
- sending a request for additional observations for the object to at least one second mobile device based on the bounding box or the road segment and the approaching vehicle and the hardware requirement;
- and
- updating the geographic database based on the additional observations of the object from the at least one second mobile device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed are configured to perform a method for collecting observation data for updating a geographic database, the method comprising:
- receiving a geographic position and associated initial observation data for an object from a first mobile device;
- performing an analysis of the initial observation data with respect to the geographic database;
- determining a bounding box from the geographic position of the first mobile device;
- determining a hardware requirement for additional observations;
- generating a request for additional observations from at least one second mobile device based on the analysis of the initial observation data and based on the hardware requirement;
- sending the request for additional observations to the at least one second mobile device based on the bounding box;
- receiving additional observations for the object from the at least one second mobile device;
- and
- updating the geographic database based on the additional observations of the object.
