Abstract:
A method is provided to ensure continuity of features through spatially partitioned maps. Methods may include: identifying a map element extending from a first map tile to a second map tile; determining a first set of continuous features of the map element in the first map tile; determining a second set of continuous features of the map element in the second map tile; identifying a first set of locations in a plane separating the first map tile from the second map tile where the first set of continuous features intersect the plane; identifying a second set of locations where the second set of continuous features intersect the plane; correlating the first set of continuous features with the second set of continuous features; blending the first and second set of continuous features; and updating map data including the first map tile and the second map tile with a blended map element.
