Abstract:
A method receives situation data including images from vehicles; clusters, into an image cluster, the images included in the situation data of vehicle(s) located in a geographic region from among the vehicles; locates related situation object(s) in image(s) of the image cluster; matches images from different vehicles in the image cluster, the matched images having corresponding feature(s) of the related situation object(s); determines three-dimensional (3D) sensor coordinates of the related situation object(s) relative to a sensor position of a target vehicle associated with at least one matched image, using the corresponding feature(s) of the related situation object(s) in the matched images; converts the 3D sensor coordinates of the related situation object(s) to geolocation coordinates of the related situation object(s) using geolocation data of the different vehicles associated with the matched images; and determines a coverage area of a traffic situation based on the geolocation coordinates of the related situation object(s).
