Street-level guidance via route path

摘要

A street-level view can realistically reflect that objects occlude depicted route paths. Such objects can include guardrails, buildings, or any of a variety of other objects as described herein. A superior user experience that portrays route paths while taking real-world geometry into account can result.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing a digital map, the map representing locations and including information about the represented locations; the information further including a scene depiction and geometry associated with the scene depiction; determining a location of a viewpoint associated with a mobile device; generating a street-level view depicting a scene from a perspective of the location of the viewpoint according to the digital map; determining a route path between a starting point and a destination; and generating a depiction of the route path by:
superimposing the route path over the street-level view;determining that an object of varying thickness is situated between the viewpoint and the route path based on the information included in the digital map;responsive to determining the object is situated between the viewpoint and the route path, determining a portion of the route path to be occluded by the object; anddisplaying the depiction of the route path superimposed over the street-level view on the mobile device, the displayed route path occluded by the object at the determined portion, the occlusion varying according to the varying thickness of the object.
