Patent ID: 7552008

Claim:
A geospatial database generation system (GDGS), mounted on a host vehicle, generating geospatial data relating to travel paths having one or more lanes, comprising: a database developer component including a lane level data system configured to receive sensor inputs from a plurality of sensors mounted on the host vehicle including a location sensor input indicating a location of the host vehicle in three-dimensional space, and to develop data elements in the geospatial database based on the inputs, the data elements being indicative of objects and a location of the objects in three dimensional space, the objects having a lane-level resolution, wherein the plurality of sensors includes an object sensor configured to sense an object, and wherein the database developer component is configured to generate the data elements from the sensor inputs from the plurality of sensors as data objects having an attribute portion and a spatial data portion, the attribute portion including attributes indicative of the data object and the spatial data portion including data indicative of the location of the object in three dimensional space.
