NAVIGATION APPARATUS, SIMULATION APPARATUS, MOVING DEVICE AND NAVIGATION METHOD

摘要

A navigation method for a navigating apparatus of a moving device, including obtaining weight information that includes a plurality of weight coefficients and storing the weight information, detecting one or a plurality of paths through which the moving device is capable of moving, acquiring information regarding a position of a destination with respect to the moving device as destination positional information, acquiring information regarding characteristics of topography in surroundings of the moving device as topographical characteristics information, calculating worth correlation information regarding the one or plurality of detected paths to the destination using the acquired destination positional information, the acquired topographical characteristics information and the stored weight information, and estimating a worth score of each of the one or plurality of paths to the destination based on the calculated worth correlation information.

主权项

1. A navigation apparatus for use in a moving device, comprising:
a hardware processor, and a non-transitory storage medium having program instructions stored thereon, execution of which by the hardware processor causes the navigation apparatus to provide functions of:
a path detector that detects one or a plurality of paths through which the moving device is capable of moving;a destination positional information acquirer that acquires information regarding a position of a destination of the moving device as destination positional information;a topographical characteristics information acquirer that acquires information regarding characteristics of topography in surroundings of the moving device as topographical characteristics information;a storage portion that stores weight information including a plurality of weight coefficients respectively corresponding to the destination positional information and the topographical characteristics information; anda worth estimator that
calculates worth correlation information regarding the one or plurality of paths to the destination using the acquired destination positional information, the acquired topographical characteristics information, and the stored weight information, andestimates a worth score for each of the one or plurality of paths to the destination based on the calculated worth correlation information, a higher worth score corresponding to a higher probability for the moving device to move to the destination.
