METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING SPATIAL ACCURACY OF MAP DATA

摘要

The present invention provides a way of more accurately quantifying the spatial similarity between a feature in a first map and features in one or more further maps, specifically, by quantifying the extent to which buffer areas surrounding the features intersect. The present invention uses this similarity test to spatially resolve two or more maps to produce a composite image of a map that comprises all of the features of both maps, wherein the features common to both maps have been spatially resolved.
