Object detection to determine road priority
First Claim
1. A system for determining a driving route that includes a first track or alternatively a second track, comprising:
- a first object detector module configured to detect objects of a first type in photographic images associated with the first and second tracks,the first object detector module configured to determine a first number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the first track, and to determine a second number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the second track;
a priority score module configured to generate a first priority score associated with the first track based at least on the first number, the priority score module further configured to generate a second priority score associated with the second track based at least on the second number; and
a driving direction module configured to select a driving route that includes the first track when the first priority score is greater than the second priority score, and to select a driving route that includes the second track when the second priority score is greater than the first priority score, wherein when the first number is greater than the second number, the first priority score is greater than the second priority score.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to road priority and driving directions. In one embodiment, a system includes an object detector module configured: (i) to detect objects of a type in photographic images associated with first and second tracks, and (ii) to determine a first number of times objects of the type appear in photographic images geocoded along the first track, and a second number of times objects of the type appear in photographic images geocoded along the second track. The system also includes a priority score module configured: (i) to generate a first priority score associated with the first track based at least on the first number, and (ii) to generate a second priority score associated with the second track based at least on the second number. The system further includes a driving direction module configured: (i) to select a driving route that includes the track associated with a greater priority score.

11. A method for determining a driving route that includes a first track or a alternatively a second track, comprising:
-
(a) detecting, on a computing device, objects of a first type in photographic images associated with the first and second tracks; (b) determining a first number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the first track; (c) determining a second number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the second track; (d) generating a first priority score associated with the first track based at least on the first number; (e) generating a second priority score associated with the second track based at least on the second number; (f) when the first priority score is greater than the second priority score, selecting a driving route that includes the first track; and (g) when the second priority score is greater than the first priority score, selecting a driving route that includes the second track, wherein when the first number is greater than the second number, the first priority score is greater than the second priority score. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoding instructions thereon that, in response to execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
detecting objects of a first type in photographic images associated with the first and second tracks; determining a first number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the first track; determining a second number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the second track; generating a first priority score associated with the first track based at least on the first number; generating a second priority score associated with the second track based at least on the second number; selecting a driving route that includes the first track when the first priority score is greater than the second priority score; and selecting a driving route that includes the second track when the second priority score is greater than the first priority score, wherein when the first number is greater than the second number, the first priority score is greater than the second priority score. - View Dependent Claims (21)
