Abstract:
1. A method for building an outdoor map for a moving object, the method comprising: receiving a real satellite image for an outdoor space to which the moving object is to move, wherein the outdoor space is a final node in a plurality of nodes that create a road network that are linked; calculating pixel information including a length size and a width size of a group of pixels, as well as a physical distance of a one pixel in the real satellite image, wherein the physical distance of the one pixel is measured using the length size and the width size of the one pixel, as well as a scale, including a first number of pixels in a predetermined length, a second number of overall pixels, and a real length using the predetermined length on the image; measuring a reference position coordinate, using a single GPS in the moving object, for use as a reference position selected from the real satellite image; and linking a pixel number corresponding to the reference position, the reference position coordinate, and the pixel information, including the physical distance, a length size and a width size of a group of pixels, the scale, and the real length, to the real satellite image in order to build the outdoor map for the moving object.
