METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAP ALIGNMENT IN A MULTI-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT/VENUE

摘要

Methods and devices are described for aligning map data from different levels of the same location/venue/environment. Certain embodiments may include receiving, at a computing device, first and second sets of map data associated with corresponding first and second levels of a location. The device may receive via a network or user interface, sets of anchor points matched across the different levels. These matched anchor points may then be used to deform one or more levels of map data to align any misaligned anchor points.

主权项

1. A method for map alignment comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, a first set of map data associated with a first level of a location; receiving, at the computing device, a second set of map data associated with a second level of the location; receiving, at the computing device, a first plurality of anchor markers for the first level and a second plurality of anchor markers for the second level, wherein each anchor point of the first plurality of anchor markers is associated with a corresponding anchor point of the second plurality of anchor markers for the second level; and deforming at least a portion of the first set of map data or the second set of map data to align anchor markers of the first plurality of anchor markers with corresponding anchor markers of the second plurality of anchor markers.
