  • Device and method for determining map data on the basis of observations
    Patent number: 12624960
    Abstract: A device for determining map data with respect to a route portion, configured to acquire a first set of first observations during a first trip along the route portion and a second set of second observations during a second trip along the route portion, determine values of a measure of similarity for different possible observation pairs each consisting of one first observation and one second observation, determine, on the basis of the values of the measure of similarity for different possible observation pairs, an overall association with one or more one-to-one associations between, in each case, one first observation from the first set and one second observation from the second set. The device is also configured to determine the map data with respect to the route portion on the basis of the overall association.
