Method and system for classifying vehicle based road sign observations
First Claim
1. A method to filter a road sign observation in a database comprising:
- receiving the road sign observation information from a vehicle on a link, wherein the road sign information includes at least a location of the vehicle;
retrieving, from the database, a sign file information wherein the sign file information includes location of a plurality of VSS gantries in a geographical region; and
filtering the road sign observation information if the location of the vehicle is within a predetermined distance threshold from at least one VSS gantry from the plurality of VSS gantries in the geographical region.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product is provided, for example, for filtering road signs. The method comprises receiving a road sign observation information from a vehicle on a link. The road sign information includes at least a location of the vehicle. The method further comprises retrieving a sign file information from a database. The sign file information includes location of a plurality of VSS gantries in a geographical region. The method further includes filtering the road sign observation information if the location of the vehicle is within a predetermined distance threshold from at least one VSS gantry from the plurality of VSS gantries in the geographical region.

9. A mapping platform comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the mapping platform to perform at least the following; receive a road sign observation information from a vehicle, wherein the road sign observation information includes a heading information of the vehicle; receive a sign file information, wherein the sign file information is used to identify a heading information for a gantry; identify a heading of sight from the vehicle to the gantry based on the heading information of the vehicle and the heading information of the gantry; identify a distance range for road sign observation information detection; calculate a difference between the heading information of the vehicle and the heading of sight from the vehicle to the gantry; and filter the road sign observation information based on a first filtering criteria or a second filtering criteria, wherein the first filtering criteria includes at least that the distance range for road sign observation information detection is within a long distance threshold and the second filtering criteria includes at least that the distance range for road sign observation information detection is within a short-distance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions for:
-
receiving a road sign observation information from a vehicle, wherein the road sign observation information includes a heading information of the vehicle; receiving a sign file information, wherein the sign file information is used to identify a heading information for a gantry; identifying a heading of sight from the vehicle to the gantry based on the heading information of the vehicle and the heading information of the gantry; identifying a distance range for road sign observation information detection; calculating a difference between the heading information of the vehicle and the heading of sight from the vehicle to the gantry; and filtering the road sign observation information based on a first filtering criteria or a second filtering criteria, wherein the first filtering criteria includes at least that the distance range for road sign observation information detection is within a long distance threshold and the second filtering criteria includes at least that the distance range for road sign observation information detection is within a short-distance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
