Defining travel paths in parking areas
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for defining travel paths in parking areas, the method comprising:
- automatically identifying a parking area based at least in part on an estimated color value of a captured image of the parking area;
for the parking area in which there is at least one travel path for the parking area that is not represented on a digital map, receiving input, by one or more processors, defining one or more travel paths in the parking area; and
updating, via the one or more processors, the digital map to comprise a representation of the one or more travel paths defined in the parking area.

7. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
-
automatically identify a parking area based at least in part on an estimated color value of a captured image of the parking area; for the parking area in which there is at least one travel path for the parking area that is not represented on a digital map, receive input defining one or more travel paths in the parking area; and update the digital map to comprise a representation of the one or more travel paths defined in the parking area. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
an executable portion configured to automatically identify a parking area based at least in part on an estimated color value of a captured image of the parking area; an executable portion configured to, for the parking area in which there is at least one travel path for the parking area that is not represented on a digital map, receive input defining one or more travel paths in the parking area; and an executable portion configured to update the digital map to comprise a representation of the one or more travel paths defined in the parking area. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
