Selective road information harvesting based on data quality

A navigation system for a vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one processor programmed to:
• receive from an image capture device one or more images representative of an environment of the vehicle;
• analyze the one or more images to determine navigational information related to the vehicle;
• determine based on analysis of at least one of:
• the one or more images, an output of one or more sensors, or the determined navigational information, whether a fault condition exists relative to the determined navigational information;
• transmit the navigational information from the vehicle to a server if a fault condition is determined not to exist;
• and
• forego transmission of the navigational information from the vehicle to a server if a fault condition is determined to exist.

A computer-implemented method for transmitting navigation information, comprising:

• receiving from an image capture device one or more images representative of an environment of a vehicle;
• analyzing the one or more images to determine navigational information related to the vehicle;
• determining based on analysis of at least one of:
• the one or more images, an output of one or more sensors, or the determined navigational information, whether a fault condition exists relative to the determined navigational information;
• transmitting the navigational information from the vehicle to a server if a fault condition is determined not to exist;
• and
• foregoing transmission of the navigational information from the vehicle to a server if a fault condition is determined to exist.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the device to:

• receive from an image capture device one or more images representative of an environment of a vehicle;
• analyze the one or more images to determine navigational information related to the vehicle;
• determine based on analysis of at least one of:
• the one or more images, an output of one or more sensors, or the determined navigational information, whether a fault condition exists relative to the determined navigational information;
• transmit the navigational information from the vehicle to a server if a fault condition is determined not to exist;
• and
• forego transmission of the navigational information from the vehicle to a server if a fault condition is determined to exist.
