Radial histograms for depicting path information
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-readable storage device storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to display a graphical representation for a path by:
- determining a set of angles associated with the path;
grouping the angles in the set of angles into a set of one or more groups;
determining a value for each group in the set of groups based upon the angles from the set of angles that are grouped in that group; and
outputting a radial histogram as a graphical representation for the path, the radial histogram comprising a bar for each group in the set of groups, wherein the bar for each group has a length based upon the value determined for the group and wherein the bar for each group has a position rotated from an origin by an average angle representative of the group.

10. A system for displaying information related to a path, the system comprising:
-
a display; and a processor; wherein the processor is configured to; determine a set of angles associated with the path; group the angles in the set of angles into a set of one or more groups; determine a value for each group in the set of groups based upon the angles from the set of angles that are grouped in that group; and output a radial histogram as a graphical representation for the path, the radial histogram comprising a bar for each group in the set of groups, wherein the bar for each group has a length based upon the value determined for the group and wherein the bar for each group has a position rotated from an origin by an average angle representative of the group. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented method for displaying a graphical representation for a path, the method:
-
determining, by a processing system, a set of angles associated with the path; grouping, by the processing system, the angles in the set of angles into a set of one or more groups; determining, by the processing system, a value for each group in the set of groups based upon the angles from the set of angles that are grouped in that group; and outputting, by the processing system, a radial histogram as a graphical representation for the path, the graphical representation radial histogram comprising a bar for each group in the set of groups, wherein the bar for each group has a length based upon the value determined for the group and wherein the bar for each group has a position rotated from an origin by an average angle representative of the group. - View Dependent Claims (20)
