SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING DYNAMIC MAPS FOR BODIES OF WATER

摘要

Methods and system for creating dynamic maps are disclosed. A system for map creation for bodies of water may comprise an application server associated with a plurality of navigation devices, wherein the application server is configured to: (a) receive data from said plurality of navigation devices, the data including water-site information, time, and location; (b) perform statistical analysis on the data received by said plurality of devices; (c) determine the existence of bodies of water based at least on the statistical analysis; and (d) generate a dynamic map including one or more of water depth charts and heat maps based at least on the statistical analysis.

主权项

1. A method for dynamic map generation relating to a water-site, the method comprising:
receiving first water-site information from a first device, the first water-site information comprising a first time marker indicating a time the first water-site information was captured, a first location marker indicating a location of the first device at the time the first water-site information was captured, and a first water parameter associated with the water-site; receiving second water-site information from a second device, the second water-site information comprising a second time marker indicating a time the second water-site information was captured, a second location marker indicating a location of the second device at the time the second water-site information was captured, and a second water parameter associated with the water-site; generating a water depth model based on at least the first water-site information and the second water-site information; and generating a dynamic map based at least on the water depth model, wherein the dynamic map indicates at least a water depth of a portion of the water-site and a change in water depth over a time period.
