Identifying an obstacle in a route
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer readable storage mediums having computer readable program code stored therein, said program code executable by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories to implement a method comprising:
- capturing a first set of images during a first traversal of a first route;
capturing a second set of images during a second traversal of the first route;
identifying, by comparing the first set of images with the second set of images, an object in the second set of images meeting an obstruction criteria; and
providing a notification of the object which was identified as meeting the obstruction criteria;
wherein said capturing the first set of images during the first traversal of the first route includes;
collecting route frequency data for a set of routes traversed by a user;
determining, for a specific route of the set of routes traversed by the user, that a frequency value is greater than a frequency threshold value; and
selecting, in response to determining that the specific route has the frequency value greater than the frequency threshold value, the route as the first route.

Abstract
A system and computer implemented method for identifying an object in a route is disclosed. The method may include capturing a first set of images during a first traversal of a first route. The method may also include capturing a second set of images during a second traversal of the first route. The method may also include identifying, by comparing the first set of images with the second set of images, an object in the second set of images meeting an obstruction criteria. The method may also include providing a notification of the object which was identified as meeting the obstruction criteria.

9. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored therein, the program instructions executable by a first computing device to cause the first computing device to:
-
collect route frequency data for a set of routes traversed by a user; determine, for a specific route of the set of routes traversed by the user, that a frequency value is greater than a frequency threshold value; select, in response to determining that the specific route has the frequency value greater than the frequency threshold value, the route as a first route; capture a first set of images during a first traversal of the first route; capture a second set of images during a second traversal of the first route; identify, by comparing the first set of images with the second set of images, an object in the second set of images meeting an obstruction criteria; and provide a notification of the object which was identified as meeting the obstruction criteria. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
