Abstract
The invention comprises, in its various embodiments and aspects, a method and apparatus for generating a dynamic mobility map. The method includes classifying a plurality of objects represented in a data set comprised of overhead imagery data; and classifying the objects through application of dynamic data pertaining to those objects. The apparatus includes a program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computing device, perform such a method and a computing apparatus programmed to perform such a method. The method, in alternative embodiments, may be employed in generating dynamic mobility maps and in association with a ground vehicle to operate the vehicle or simulate the operation of the vehicle.
