Patent number: 8818710Abstract: The present invention is a computer-implemented system for providing guidance information to aid a user in traveling along an off-road route. This system assumes that the route has already been determined. Also, it is assumed that the user's position and orientation can be determined, for example using existing techniques such as the global positioning system (GPS). The present invention uses a Look-Ahead-Point Finder (100) to find a point, which we refer to as a look-ahead point, located on the route ahead of the user's current location. A Guidance Message Constructor (102) and a Guidance Presenter (106) are used to present the user with guidance information directing him towards the look-ahead point. If the user is already headed towards the look-ahead point, then a Turn Analyzer (108) is used to search the route in order to find the next turn location.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2007Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Primordial, Inc.Inventors: Randy L. Milbert, Erik S. Freed, Kyle K. Estes

Publication number: 20130311089Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method distilling three-dimensional structure to a two-dimensional raster with multiple discrete planes for purposes of safe and accurate route planning including a map generator (100), pixel encoder (102), map transformer (106), and route generator (108). The map generator (100) generates a raster map by populating a blank map canvas with raster and vector data on a per-pixel basis and obtains values for pixels from the pixel encoder (102). The pixel encoder (102) encodes type, plane, and elevator information of features into pixels. The map transformer (106) converts the map produced by the map generator (100) into a weighted graph of nodes and edges suitable for route generation. The route generator (108) generates routes using the graph produced by the map transformer (106).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2012Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: PRIMORDIALInventors: Erik Stephen Freed, Kyle Kenneth Estes, Randy Len Milbert

Patent number: 8374792Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for efficiently generating on- and off-road travel routes using multi-resolution maps including a map generator (108), map database (106), route generator (100), heuristic generator (102), and search envelope factor generator (104). The map generator (108) converts input raster and vector map data into output multi-resolution raster map data suitable for routing and stores it in the map database (106). The route generator (100) uses the map database (106) to produce a route at a coarse zoom level and then regenerate the route at progressively higher zoom levels. The heuristic generator (102) penalizes high resolution routes that deviate too far from one or more low resolution routes. The search envelope factor generator (104) computes this penalty based on the distance from a given search graph node to the low resolution routes.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Primordial Inc.Inventors: Dane White, Erik Freed
