  • Publication number: 20150248761
    Abstract: A method for recognizing a primitive in an image includes recognizing at least one primitive in the image to obtain at least one candidate shape of the at least one primitive, which at least one candidate shape has a respective confidence; determining whether the recognizing of the at least one primitive has a potential error based on the confidence; obtaining auxiliary information about the at least one primitive from a user in response to determining that the recognizing has the potential error; and re-recognizing the at least one primitive at least in part based on the auxiliary information.

  • Publication number: 20150153187
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method, comprising: determining a road segment group set that corresponds to a current time period, and a correspondence relationship between each road segment group in the road segment group set and a computing node of the cluster server, wherein the road segment group is a group of road segments which are grouped according to the number of computing nodes of the cluster server and the dissimilarity between divided road segments in a road network; in response to receiving multiple GPS sampled data from a vehicle, generating a map matching request according to the multiple GPS sampled data; and in response to generating a map matching request and obtaining a road segment to which the latest location of the vehicle belongs, sending the map matching request to a computing node that corresponds to a road segment group to which the obtained road segment belongs.

  • Patent number: 8819065
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for mining a rule including spatial information and non-spatial information by using a SAR (Spatial Association Rule) mining tool. The computing system is configured to construct an expanded spatial predicate transaction table for reference spatial objects and a generalized taxonomy for task-relevant spatial objects. The computing system is configured to run the SAR mining tool with the constructed expanded spatial predicate transaction and the generalized taxonomy. The computing system outputs, from the SAR mining tool, a set of generalized spatial association rules for the reference spatial objects. The generalized spatial association rule includes the spatial information and non-spatial information, associated with both the reference spatial objects and the task-relevant spatial objects.

  • Publication number: 20140236650
    Abstract: An approach for infrastructure asset management is provided. This approach comprises an end-to-end analytics driven maintenance approach that can take data about physical assets and additional external data, and apply advanced analytics to the data to generate business insight, foresight and planning information. Specifically, this approach uses a maintenance analysis tool, which is configured to: receive data about a set of physical assets of an infrastructure, and analyze the data about the set of physical assets to predict maintenance requirements for each of the set of physical assets. The maintenance analysis tool further comprises an output component configured to generate a maintenance plan based on the predicted maintenance requirements for each of the set of physical assets.

  • Publication number: 20130325336
    Abstract: A method of determining a path comprises obtaining a path in a road net, the road net comprising a plurality of nodes; calculating, with a processing device, an event displacement probability within coverage of the path, wherein the event displacement probability is used to describe a possibility of displacement of an event that could have occurred within the coverage of the path, to outside the coverage of the path to occur; and changing the path based on the event displacement probability.
