Automatic localization geometry generator for stripe-shaped objects

An apparatus for automatic localization geometry generation for stripe-shaped objects, the apparatus comprising:

• a database configured to store an image including a roadway having one or more stripe-shaped objects;
• and
• a localization geometry generator configured to determine at least one targeted region within the image, wherein the at least one targeted region is shaped to intersect the one or more stripe-shaped objects and includes a plurality of pixels and configured to perform an image analysis on the image to determine when the at least one target region includes a pixel in common with the one or more stripe-shaped objects.

An apparatus comprising:

• a sensor configured to detect a position of a mobile device;
• a controller configured to access a three-dimensional map in response to the position of the map device for one or more stripe-shaped objects, wherein the one or more stripe-shaped objects in the three-dimensional map is derived from at least one targeted region shaped to intersect the one or more stripe-shaped objects, the controller further configured to generate a driving assistance message in response to the one or more stripe-shaped objects.
