Navigating on Images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of routing directly on images, the method comprising:
- identifying a point selected on an initial image;
determining an image pixel of the initial image corresponding to the identified point, the image pixel of the initial image representing an origin; and
generating a route from the origin to a destination,wherein the destination corresponds to another image pixel, and wherein the route comprises a connection between the origin and the destination via intermediate image pixels between the image pixel of the initial image and the other image pixel.

Abstract
Systems, devices, features, and methods for navigating on images are disclosed. For example, one method includes identifying a point selected on an initial image. An image component, such as a pixel, of the initial image corresponding to the identified point is determined. The image component of the initial image represents an origin. A route from the origin to a destination is generated, and the destination corresponds to another image component, such as another pixel.

16. A method for developing a navigation system, the method comprising:
-
identifying image components in a first image, the identified image components in the first image designated as navigable; identifying image components in a second image, the identified image components in the second image designated as navigable; generating correlation data associating at least one navigable image component of the first image to at least one navigable image component of the second image; and storing the correlation data in a hardware medium of the navigation system. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A navigation system for routing with images, the system comprising:
-
an image database including a plurality of images corresponding to geographic areas; memory including data corresponding to correlations between image pixels of the plurality of images; and a processor configured to generate a route from an origin point on one of the plurality of images to a destination point on another of the plurality of images based on at least some of the data corresponding to the correlations between the image pixels.

23. A computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for performing a method of determining a route between an origin and a destination, the method comprising:
-
determining a first image pixel corresponding to the origin on a digital image that shows the origin; determining a second image pixel corresponding to the destination on a digital image that shows the destination; and determining a route from the origin to a destination via adjacent intermediate image pixels that correspond to a navigable geographic feature shown on a digital image, wherein the navigable geographic feature forms at least part of the route from the origin to the destination. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
