System and method for verifying map data for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for verifying map data for a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving locational coordinate data related to a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling from a navigation system and image data pertaining to the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling from a vehicle camera system;
determining map data associated with the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling based on the locational coordinate data;
determining a lane coordinate measurement between a center point of a traveling lane of the vehicle and a lane on the roadway adjacent to the traveling lane of the vehicle based on the map data;
determining a lane image measurement that includes a measurement between a center portion of the vehicle and a right lane boundary of the traveling lane of the vehicle and the center portion of the vehicle and a left lane boundary of the traveling lane of the vehicle based on the image data; and
verifying the map data based on the lane coordinate measurement and the lane image measurement,wherein verifying the map data includes designating the map data as verified when the lane coordinate measurement is equivalent to the lane image measurement.

Abstract
A method and system for verifying map data for a vehicle that include receiving locational coordinate data related to a roadway from a navigation system and image data pertaining to the roadway from a vehicle camera system. The method and system also include determining map data and determining a lane coordinate measurement between a center point of a traveling lane and a lane on the roadway adjacent to the traveling lane based on the map data. The method and system further include determining a lane image measurement that includes a measurement between a center portion of the vehicle and a right lane boundary of the traveling lane and the center portion of the vehicle and a left lane boundary of the traveling lane based on the image data. The method and system also include verifying the map data based on the lane coordinate measurement and the lane image measurement.
