System and method for validating road object data

A method for validating road object data, the method comprising:

• receiving the road object data for a geographic region;
• determining, from a map database, a state of ground truth data associated with the geographic region, wherein the state of the ground truth data comprises at least one of partial ground truth data and complete ground truth data;
• and
• validating the road object data, based on the determined state of the ground truth data, wherein the validation comprises performing a first validation operation when the state of the ground truth data is the partial ground truth data and performing a second validation operation when the state of the ground truth data is the complete ground truth data, wherein validating the road object data based on the first validation operation comprises:
• identifying at least one road object observation associated with a road object, wherein the road object data comprises the at least one road object observation;
• identifying location data associated with the road object observation;
• identifying, from the partial ground truth data, at least ground truth route data;
• and
• validating the road object data based on the ground truth route data and the location data associated with the at least one road object observation, when the location data is located on a path defined by the ground truth route data.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instruction which when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to carry out operations for validating road object data, the operations comprising:

• receiving the road object data for a geographic region;
• determining, from a map database, a state of ground truth data associated with the geographic region, wherein the state of the ground truth data comprises at least one of partial ground truth data and complete ground truth data;
• and
• validating the road object data, based on the determined state of ground truth data, wherein the validation comprises performing a first validation operation when the state of the ground truth data is the partial ground truth data and performing a second validation operation when the state of the ground truth data is the complete ground truth data, wherein validating the road object data based on the first validation operation comprises:
• identifying at least one road object observation associated with a road object, wherein the road object data comprises the at least one road object observation;
• identifying location data associated with the road object observation;
• identifying, from the partial ground truth data, at least ground truth route data;
• and
• validating the road object data based on the ground truth route data and the location data associated with the at least one road object observation, when the location data is located on a path defined by the ground truth route data.
