Open area maps based on vector graphics format images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of generating an open area map, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of a layout corresponding to a real-world area in which a person moves about, the image being in a vector graphics format and including an image reference object;
generating a reference region from the image of the layout, the reference region representative of the image reference object; and
combining a grid with the reference region to generate a routable map,wherein the routable map is configured to be displayed on an end user device and configured to provide point-to-point routing as a function of the grid, and wherein the point-to-point routing in the generated routable map includes route calculation not dependent upon one or more path segments determined prior to the route calculation.

Abstract
Systems and methods corresponding to an open area map are disclosed. For example, one method includes receiving an image of a layout corresponding to a real-world area in which a person moves about. The image is in a vector graphics format. A reference region is determined using the image of the layout. A grid is combined with the reference region to generate a routable map. The routable map is configured to provide point-to-point routing within the layout.

10. A method of generating an open area map, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a vector based image of a layout corresponding to a pedestrian walkable area, the image of the layout including a plurality of image reference objects; generating a rasterized image as a function of the vector based image; generating a plurality of reference regions based on the rasterized image, the plurality of reference regions corresponding to a respective image reference object of the plurality of image reference objects; and combining a mesh with the plurality of reference regions to generate a routable map, the generated routable map configured to be displayed on an end user device, wherein routing between the plurality of reference regions is based on the mesh, the routing in the generated routable map being point-to-point routing that includes route calculation not dependent upon one or more path segments determined prior to the route calculation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for performing a method of generating an open area map, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a vector graphics format image of a layout corresponding to a real-world area in which a pedestrian walks about; applying a grid over the vector graphics format image;
determining a plurality of reference regions as a function of the vector graphics format image, wherein determining the plurality of reference regions comprises;modifying the vector graphics image of the layout; generating a rasterized image based on the modified vector graphics image; and
generating a boundary around each of a plurality of image reference objects in the rasterized image to form the respective plurality of reference regions; andcombining the grid with the plurality of reference regions to generate a routable map, wherein the generated routable map is configured to be displayed on an end user device and configured to provide routing to and from any of the plurality of reference regions as a function of the grid, the routing in the generated routable map being point-to-point routing that includes route calculation not dependent upon one or more path segments determined prior to the route calculation. - View Dependent Claims (20)
