GENERATING NAVIGATION DATA
First Claim
1. A method of generating navigation data, the method including:
- receiving a new experience data set relating to a new experience capture, a said experience data set including a set of nodes, each said node comprising a series of visual image frames taken over a series of time frames;
receiving at least one stored experience data set relating to at least one previous experience capture;
obtaining a candidate set of said nodes from the at least one stored experience data set that potentially matches a said node in the new experience data set; and
checking if a said node in the candidate set matches the node in the new experience data set;
wherein if a result of the checking is positive then data relating to the matched nodes is added to a place data set useable for navigation, the place data set indicating that said nodes in different said experience data sets relate to a same place.

Abstract
Navigation data is generated by receiving (502) a new experience data set (321) relating to a new experience capture. At least one stored experience data set (320) relating to at least one previous experience capture is also received (504). An experience data set includes a set of nodes, with each node comprising a series of visual image frames taken over a series of time frames. A candidate set of said nodes is obtained (506) from the stored experience data set that potentially matches a said node in the new experience data set, and then a check (508) if performed to see if a node in the candidate set matches the node in the new experience data set. If the result of the checking is positive then data relating to the matched nodes is added (510) to a place data set useable for navigation, the place data set indicating that said nodes in different said experience data sets relate to a same place.

14. Apparatus configured to generate navigation data, the apparatus including:
-
a device configured to receive a new experience data set relating to a new experience capture, a said experience data set including a set of nodes, each said node comprising a series of visual image frames taken over a series of time frames; a device configured to receive at least one stored experience data set relating to at least one previous experience capture; a device configured to obtain a candidate set of said nodes from the at least one stored experience data set that potentially matches a said node in the new experience data set; and a device configured to check if a said node in the candidate set matches the node in the new experience data set; wherein, if a result of the checking is positive then data relating to the matched nodes is added to a place data set useable for navigation, the place data set indicating that said nodes in different said experience data sets relate to a same place. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

18. A computer program product comprising computer code that when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out, the process comprising:
-
receiving a new experience data set relating to a new experience capture, a said experience data set including a set of nodes, each said node comprising a series of visual image frames taken over a series of time frames; receiving at least one stored experience data set relating to at least one previous experience capture; obtaining a candidate set of said nodes from the at least one stored experience data set that potentially matches a said node in the new experience data set; and checking if a said node in the candidate set matches the node in the new experience data set; wherein if a result of the checking is positive then data relating to the matched nodes is added to a place data set useable for navigation, the place data set indicating that said nodes in different said experience data sets relate to a same place. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
