Publication number: 20130243339Abstract: Picture data provision systems, methods, and programs provide picture data of an aerially-photographed ground surface to a picture using device. The systems, methods, and programs access determination target picture data that is the data of the aerially-photographed ground surface, and determine a recognition difficult portion within the determination target picture data. The recognition difficult portion is a portion of the determination target picture data where recognizing the ground surface is difficult. The systems, methods, and programs determine whether the determination target picture data is recognized as provision target picture data based on feature information and a determination result of the recognition difficult portion of the determination target picture data. The feature information is information regarding a feature included in determination corresponding map data and including position information of each feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2013Publication date: September 19, 2013Inventors: Ryoichi FUJIWARA, Kenji NAGASE

Publication number: 20130238648Abstract: When a link ID corresponding to a coordinate point sequence is stored in a matching table, devices, methods, and programs convert the coordinate point sequence into the link ID, but when the link ID is not stored in the matching table, the devices, methods, and programs extract one or more candidate links as candidates for the link corresponding to the coordinate point sequence based on the map information. When one candidate link has been extracted, the devices, methods, and programs convert the coordinate point sequence into the link ID of that extracted candidate link, and when a plurality of candidate links have been extracted, the devices, methods, and programs convert the coordinate point sequence into the link ID of one of the extracted candidate links based on the coordinate difference patterns corresponding to the link IDs within an area in the vicinity of the extracted candidate links.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2012Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: AISIN AW CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryoichi FUJIWARA, Kenji NAGASE
