Report generation for a navigation-related database

摘要

Systems, devices, features, and methods for updating a geographic database, such as a navigation-related database, and/or reporting discrepancies associated with geographic data of the geographic database are disclosed. For example, one method comprises capturing a photograph of an observed geographic feature in a geographic region. Comment information corresponding to the observed geographic feature may be stored. The comment information is indicative of a discrepancy between the observed geographic feature and the geographic data corresponding to the geographic region. The comment information may be associated with the photograph to generate a report, and the report is transmitted.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for updating a geographic database that includes geographic data for navigation-related services, the method comprising:
providing, via a user device, an indication of a real-world geographic feature in a geographic region that is associated with a perceived discrepancy; capturing, via a camera of the user device, a photograph of the real-world geographic feature; storing comment information corresponding to the real-world geographic feature, the comment information indicative of an observed discrepancy between the real-world geographic feature and the geographic data corresponding to the geographic region; determining geographic position data of a location of the camera capturing the photograph; determining an estimation of a distance between the real-world geographic feature captured in the photograph and the geographic position data of the location of the camera capturing said photograph; associating the comment information and the geographic position data with the photograph to generate a report; and transmitting the report including the photograph, the geographic position data, and the comment information, wherein the perceived discrepancy comprises a perceived lack of information in the geographic data corresponding to the geographic region, and wherein the perceived lack of information comprises a missing feature in the geographic data.
