  • Patent number: 11981347
    Abstract: Rules based semantic map sharding is proposed. A method of handling semantic objects for semantic map sharding makes used of rules to define which semantic objects are to be included in a shard. Hereto, semantic objects are defined in a geographical area to be contained in shard data. For the semantic objects, a set of rules is defined comprising a definition of which semantic objects are to be combined into a shard data entry of the shard data and which semantic objects are to be stored in separate shard data entries.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11898854
    Abstract: A method for generating shard data from a geographical area split into sections is proposed. The method uses data representative of a geographical area that is split into sections and data representative of semantic objects located in the geographical area. For each of the sections, semantic objects are searched that are located at least partly in a section. A shard data entry of the shard data is generated. The shard data entry includes one or more semantic objects found by the searching.

  • Patent number: 11874857
    Abstract: A system and method for generating shard data based on semantic sharding is proposed. Shard data is generated by a map sharder that is configured to generate the shard data based on semantic objects in a geographical area and a definition of sections. The sections cover parts of the geographical area. The map sharder searches, for each of the sections, for semantic objects that are located at least partly in a section and stores found objects in a shard data entry of the shard data.

  • Publication number: 20230401198
    Abstract: A method for storing shard data and data formats for storing shard data are proposed. Shard data entries are generated and stored, wherein each shard data entry comprises a definition of one or more semantic objects covered by the shard data entry. Shard metadata is generated and stored, wherein the metadata comprises references to the shard data entries and, for each of the shard data entries, data representative of a bounding box indicative of an area in a geographical area that is covered by the shard data entry.

  • Publication number: 20230070452
    Abstract: A system and method for generating shard data based on semantic sharding is proposed. Shard data is generated by a map sharder that is configured to generate the shard data based on semantic objects in a geographical area and a definition of sections. The sections cover parts of the geographical area. The map sharder searches, for each of the sections, for semantic objects that are located at least partly in a section and stores found objects in a shard data entry of the shard data.
