METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TWO DIMENSIONAL EDGE-BASED MAP MATCHING
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- at least one request to match at least one probe data point to one of a plurality of thoroughfare segments;
respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments; and
a matching of the at least one probe data point to the one thoroughfare segment based, at least in part, on a comparison of the at least one probe data point to the respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments.

Abstract
An approach is provided for two-dimensional (2D) edge-based map matching. The 2D edge-based map matching platform receives at least one request to match a probe data point to one of a plurality of thoroughfare segments. Next, the 2D edge-based map matching platform determines respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments and causes a matching of the probe data point to the one thoroughfare segment based on a comparison of the probe data point to the respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, receive at least one request to match at least one probe data point to one of a plurality of thoroughfare segments; determine respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments; and cause, at least in part, a matching of the at least one probe data point to the one thoroughfare segment based, at least in part, on a comparison of the at least one probe data point to the respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
