Title: Map matching trajectories
Inventor: Matthew David Broadway
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 2020-08-21
Abstract: Location determination of mobile device trajectories 301a-301c is achieved relative to a map 319. The trajectories include a time-series of nodes joined by edges. An input pose graph is obtained which includes several constraints, trajectories and orientations. A non-linear optimisation process is carried out on the input pose graph based upon the constraints, and a modified pose graph is generated. Sub-graphs are extracted from the modified pose graph, and the nodes and edges of the sub graphs are matched to features of the map 319. The map-matched sub graphs are used to generate a second set of constraints which may be fused with the first constraints. The non-linear optimisation process may either be repeated using the new fused constraints to create a second modified pose graph, or alternatively, the process may be repeated if a cost function is not brought below a threshold.
