  • Patent number: 10467467
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting a traffic circle on a digital map, the method comprising: detecting a cycle within a road graphic of the digital map; calculating a similarity of an internal angle of a corner of a polygon, which represents the geometry of the cycle, to an internal angle of a corresponding corner of a reference polygon; calculating a similarity indicator on the basis of the calculated similarity of the internal angle of all the corners of the polygon of the detected cycle; and, if the similarity indicator exceeds a predefined threshold value, defining the detected cycle as a traffic circle on the digital map.
