Crowd sourcing data for autonomous vehicle navigation
First Claim
1. A method of processing vehicle navigation information for use in autonomous vehicle navigation, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a server, navigation information from a plurality of vehicles, wherein the navigation information from the plurality of vehicles is associated with a common road segment;
storing, by the server, the navigation information associated with the common road segment;
generating, by the server, at least a portion of an autonomous vehicle road navigation model for the common road segment, wherein the autonomous vehicle road navigation model includes a three-dimensional spline corresponding to a target trajectory along the common road segment; and
distributing, by the server, the autonomous vehicle road navigation model to one or more autonomous vehicles for use in autonomously navigating the one or more autonomous vehicles along the common road segment.

Abstract
A method of processing vehicle navigation information for use in autonomous vehicle navigation is provided. The method includes receiving, by a server, navigation information from a plurality of vehicles. The navigation information from the plurality of vehicles is associated with a common road segment. The method also includes storing, by the server, the navigation information associated with the common road segment. The method also includes generating, by the server, at least a portion of an autonomous vehicle road navigation model for the common road segment based on the navigation information from the plurality of vehicles. The method further includes distributing, by the server, the autonomous vehicle road navigation model to one or more autonomous vehicles for use in autonomously navigating the one or more autonomous vehicles along the common road segment.

17. A navigation system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
at least one processor programmed to; receive from a camera, at least one environmental image associated with the vehicle; analyze the at least one environmental image to determine navigation information related to the vehicle; transmit the navigation information from the vehicle to a server; receive, from the server, at least one update to an autonomous vehicle road navigation model based on the transmitted navigation information, wherein the autonomous vehicle road navigation model includes a three-dimensional spline corresponding to a target trajectory along the road segment; and cause at least one navigational maneuver by the vehicle based on the updated autonomous vehicle road navigation model. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A server for processing vehicle navigation information for use in autonomous vehicle navigation, comprising:
-
a communication unit configured to communicate with a plurality of vehicles; and at least one processor programmed to; receive, via the communication unit, the navigation information from the vehicles; generate at least a portion of an autonomous vehicle road navigation model, wherein the autonomous vehicle road navigation model includes a three-dimensional spline corresponding to a target trajectory along a road segment; and transmit at least the portion of the autonomous vehicle road navigation model to at least one of the vehicles to cause a navigational maneuver by the at least one of the vehicles based on the portion of the autonomous vehicle road navigation model. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
