Path side image on map overlay

摘要

One or more systems, devices, and/or methods for generating a map including path side data include storing path side data referenced to three-dimensional geographic coordinates. The path side data may be optical data or optical data modified based on one or more panoramic images. The path side data is combined with map data received from a map database. The map data includes nodes and segments. A processor rotates the path side data based on one of the segments. The rotation may be about the segment or about a featured identified in the optical data. The path side data overlaid on the map data is outputted to a display, a file, or another device.

1. A method comprising:
receiving optical distance data corresponding to opposite sides of an object along a road, wherein the optical distance data is generated by an optical distancing system and collected from the road; projecting the optical distance data onto an intermediate curved surface; translating the projected optical distance data onto a two-dimensional plane; receiving image data from at least one panoramic image; generating path side data based on a pixel value for a point of the translated optical distance data on the two-dimensional plane according to the image data; storing the path side data referenced to three-dimensional geographic coordinates; receiving map data from a map database, wherein the map data includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of segments; selecting, using a processor, a segment from the plurality of segments in the map data; rotating, using the processor, the path side data based on the segment; and outputting the path side data overlaid on a portion of the map data.
