    Abstract: An approach is provided for transforming curvature values into bin values for comprehensible description. The approach involves causing, at least in part, an application of at least one transformation function to one or more data values to transform the one or more data values into one or more bin values. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a binning of the one or more bin values into one or more respective bins based, at least in part, on the one or more continuous bin values. The approach further involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the one or more bin values in the respective one or more bins to determine statistical information for the respective one or more bins. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a re-transformation of the statistical information, the one or more bin values, or a combination thereof into the one or more data values following the determination of the statistical information.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a component of a mobile computing apparatus that comprises a digital map stored on a computer-readable medium is provided. The digital map comprises a first plurality of data records, each of the first plurality of data records represents a corresponding traversable map element. At least some of the first plurality of data records further comprise an executable instruction. The executable instruction of a particular data record is executed upon determination that the mobile computing apparatus is at a position corresponding to a location of the corresponding map element represented by the particular data record. The executable instruction is executed by a processor and causes data received from a hardware component of and/or in communication with the mobile computing apparatus (e.g., one or more sensors and/or the like) to be analyzed in accordance with an algorithm encoded by or referenced by the executable instruction.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products are provided. An example method comprises receiving a change trigger; and providing two or more map versions to a plurality of vehicle apparatuses. The map versions may comprise a stable map version and a changed map version. The example method further comprises receiving two or more responses from at least two of the plurality of vehicle apparatuses. A response comprises an indicator of a preferred map version selected by a vehicle apparatus of the plurality of vehicle apparatuses from the two or more map versions. The example method further comprises analyzing the responses to determine a most preferred map version; and when it is determined that the most preferred map version is a changed map version, updating one or more map databases based at least in part on the changed map version.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, panoramic images, images bubbles, or any two-dimensional views of three-dimensional subject matter are enhanced with one or more alternate viewpoints. A controller receives data indicative of a point on the two-dimensional perspective and accesses a three-dimensional location based on the point. The controller selects an image bubble based on the three-dimensional location. The three-dimensional location may be determined according to a depth map corresponding to the point. A portion of the image bubble is extracted and incorporated into the two-dimensional perspective. The resulting image may be a seamless enhanced resolution image or include a picture-in-picture enhanced resolution window including subject matter surrounding the selected point.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable data storage devices for generating and/or displaying a map with three-dimensional (3D) features are disclosed. For example, a method may comprise (i) defining a plurality of major three-dimensional regions (“major 3DRs”) and associating each major 3DR with a respective geographical area defined for a map stored in a computer-readable map database, and (ii) displaying, via a display device, one or more of the major 3DRs upon the map. Each major 3DR comprises a top, a bottom, and multiple sides. Each top, bottom, and side of each major 3DR comprises at least one surface. At least one surface of each major 3DR being displayed is textured with an image captured via an imaging device. The image textured onto each surface comprises an image captured by the imaging device when capturing images in a direction of that surface.
