摘要:
There are provided a communication terminal, a server device, a movement guidance system, and a computer program that prevent as much as possible the occurrence of an event that after the communication terminal obtains a guided route from the server device, movement guidance based on the guided route is not provided or erroneous guidance. Specifically, a communication terminal 5 identifies update target areas which are areas whose terminal-side map information 48 included in the communication terminal 5 is an older version of map information relative to device-side map information 25 included in a server device 3, requests the server device 3 for movement guidance information 26 targeted for at least an update target area around a current location, the movement guidance information 26 being for providing movement guidance for a mobile unit, and provides movement guidance for the mobile unit using the movement guidance information 26 transmitted from the server device 3 according to the request.

There is provided a method of collecting probe information generated during travel of a vehicle, comprising: (a) receiving probe information including travel time information of a reference area, from a vehicle traveling a reference area that includes at least one of an intersection area that is an area from an approach to an intersection to an exit from the intersection and a road area that connects with the intersection area and is an area from the exit of the intersection to an approach of another intersection adjacent to the intersection in an exit direction; and (b) storing the received probe information.

An analyzer of the invention adequately analyzes a change in road network by using probe information generated with driving of a vehicle. This analyzer determines a traffic amount of vehicles passing through a specified section included in the road network from a plurality of the probe information accumulated over a predetermined period. The analyzer also determines a discontinuity rate, which is a rate of incidents that vehicle locations are discontinuous in the specified section, from the plurality of probe information accumulated over the predetermined period. The analyzer detects a change in the road network, based on a degree of change between traffic amounts in two different periods with respect to the specified section included in the road network and a degree of change between discontinuity rates in the two different periods. The detected change in the road network can be used for survey of the road network. [Drawing selected] Fig. 1

There is provided e.g. an image recognizing apparatus which can increase the recognition rate of the image of a recognition target even when the recognition rate in the image recognition operation would deteriorate otherwise due to inability of obtaining good image information on the recognition target if the operation relied solely on picked up image information. The apparatus includes an image information obtaining section 3, an imaging position obtaining section 7, a land object information storing section 8, a land object information obtaining section 9 for obtaining, from the land object information storing section 8, the land object information on one or more land objects included within an imaging area of the image information, a determining section 15 for determining whether or not a plurality of recognition target land objects to be recognized are included within the imaging area of the image information, based on the obtained land object information and an image recognizing section 10 for recognizing an image of one recognition target land object, based on result of image recognition of another recognition target land object and on position relationship between the one recognition target land object and another recognition target land object based on the position information included in the land object information, if the determining section has determined that a plurality of recognition target land objects are included.

A travel time data processor extracts a link that is present in the neighborhood of a target link, as a reference link. The travel time data processor selects an identical time zone of the reference link that is identical with the time zone of the target link in which the number of sample data is less than a reference number, and searches for another time zone having similar statistical data to that of the selected time zone. The travel time data processor adds the number of sample data in a time zone of the target link corresponding to the searched another time zone of the reference link to the number of sample data in the time zone of the target link that is equal to or less than the reference number, and generates statistical data from the summed-up sample data.
摘要:
An object recognition device detects a position of a vehicle based on a running path obtained by GPS, vehicle speed, steering angle, etc., and also detects the position of the vehicle based on a result of recognition of an object obtained using a captured image of a camera. The device computes a positioning accuracy in detecting the vehicle position, which accuracy mostly deteriorates as a movement distance of the vehicle increases. Positional data of the object on the road to be recognized is stored in a map database beforehand. A recognition range of the road of the object to be recognized is set based on the detected position of the vehicle, a position of the object stored in the map database, and the computed positioning accuracy. The object is recognized for the set recognition range by processing of the captured image of the camera.

Based on positioning accuracy of an own vehicle required for appropriately carrying out assistance control carried out according to a position of the own vehicle, an execution condition for map matching correcting the position of the own vehicle is set. Specifically, setting is made in such a manner that, as the positioning accuracy is higher and an error thereof is smaller, an execution frequency of map matching becomes higher. Then, map matching is carried out according to the thus-set execution condition.
