Patent ID: 8867785

Claim:
A method comprising: projecting, using a processor, a plurality of points of interest onto a cylinder using at least a bearing angle for each point of interest; determining an angular width of each of a plurality of interface elements, each of the plurality of interface elements associated with at least one of the points of interest; identifying at least one horizontal overlap between at least two of the plurality of interface elements using the angular width of the interface elements and the bearing angle associated with the points of interest corresponding to the at least two interface elements; in response to identifying the at least one horizontal overlap, storing data in a neighbor list, the data indicating that the points of interest corresponding to the at least two interface elements are neighbors; and modifying, based on the neighbor list, a display of a subset of the plurality of points of interest, where the subset of the plurality of points of interest includes at least one of the points of interest corresponding to the at least two interface elements.
