  • Density sampling map data
    Patent number: 10621462
    Abstract: Sampling data is disclosed. A region of a map to be rendered is determined. It is determined that a first subregion is included in the region. Data points associated with subregions in a neighborhood of the first subregion are analyzed to determine a regional density of points. Data points associated with the first subregion are sampled based on the regional density of points.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 14, 2020
    Assignee: Apple Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Marcel William Watts, Erez Cohen
