A map display device stores a map image dataset with image pixels including a plurality of static-type pixels each having only one color value, and a plurality of dynamic-type pixels each having a predefined set of color values, and a function definition field which defines a function to select between said color values. A graphics processor processes one tile of map image data by, for each of the dynamic type pixels, retrieving the function identified by the function definition field, applying a current time value to the function, and selecting one of the predefined set of color values according to a result of the function. An output unit outputs the map image frame as a raster image containing one pixel color value at each of the pixels for display on a display screen.

The systems, methods, and apparatuses described herein provide integrated weather forecast products designed to assist operations managers with operational decision-making related to a designated event or set of events. The present disclosure provides a way to process weather data from various sources and in diverse data formats containing varying spatial resolutions and temporal resolutions, in order to generate an integrated and cohesive weather projection product such that the weather projection product is continuous in both. spatial and temporal domains, subject to data availability, relative to a designated event or set of events.

Example embodiments may relate to web interfaces for a balloon-network. For example, a computing device may display a graphical interface that provides information related to a balloon network configured to provide service in a geographic area, where the graphical interface includes a map. The computing device may receive real-time bandwidth data related to balloons in the balloon network, where the balloons are each configured to change position via altitudinal movement and via horizontal movement with respect to the ground. Based at least in part on the received real-time bandwidth data, the computing device may display, on the map, a visual representation of bandwidth information corresponding to one or more regions in the geographic area, where the visual representation of bandwidth information updates from time to time based at least in part on a change in position of one or more balloons in the balloon network.

A map data output device includes: a map storage that stores map data that represents lane network information; a position determination portion that determines a current position of a vehicle; a read processing portion that reads the map data of an area established based on the current position; a control map generation portion that generates control map data obtained by adding information to the map; and an output portion that outputs the control map data to a vehicle control device.

A method implemented by a computer for managing meteorological data for managing the flight of an aircraft, comprises the steps of receiving a cartographic background and selections of meteorological products; receiving meteorological data associated with the flight plan of the aircraft, according to a first space scale; determining one or more types of graphic symbols; as a function of a second space scale, determining one or more graphic declinations of the types of graphic symbols, the graphic superimpositions predefined; and displaying the cartographic background and the determined graphic declinations. Developments describe the management of the visual density of the display, the taking into account of the flight context and/or of the physiology of the pilot, the deactivation on request of the adjustments of the display. Software and system aspects (e.g. electronic flight bag, gaze monitoring) are also described.

For a new road set in a region where an existing road is not present in map data, a road associated information setting unit 13 determines and sets road associated information to be applied to a road link of a new road on the basis of movement history data relating to a plurality of moving bodies stored in a movement history storage unit 14. Accordingly, the road associated information on the new road is automatically set on the basis of the movement history data relating to the plurality of moving bodies, and hence a worker is no longer required to execute on-site investigation or manually generate road associated information.

Example embodiments may relate to web interfaces for a balloon-network. For example, a computing device may display a graphical interface that that includes one or more interface features to receive a request for use of bandwidth of a balloon network. In particular, the computing device may receive, via the graphical interface, input data corresponding to a bandwidth request for a first location, where the bandwidth request includes: (i) an indication of the first location and (ii) an indication of time. Subsequently, the computing device may receive an indication corresponding to whether or not the bandwidth request is accepted, where acceptance of the bandwidth request is based at least in part on expected movement of one or more balloons from a plurality of balloons in the balloon network. As such, the computing device may display, on the graphical interface, the indication corresponding to whether or not the bandwidth request is accepted.

A reckless-vehicle determination section of a vehicle determines whether a reckless driving operation takes place in each of different vehicles based on determination information from each of the different vehicles. A target different vehicle in which a reckless driving operation is determined to take place is displayed on a display in a display mode that is different from that for any different vehicle in which a reckless driving operation is not determined to take place.

A management device, a control method thereof, and a storage medium storing a program manage network devices. Map information is managed by assigning attribute information thereto, information for a network device (management target) is managed by assigning attribute information thereto, and user information is managed by assigning attribute information thereto. When the map information becomes a placement target for a placement operation for a network device corresponding to a map selected, map information that has been assigned attribute information that does not corresponding to the attribute information for the network device is prevented from being selected. Information for a network device is displayed on a display device displaying a map based on the results of the placement operation using user selected map information.

A ship docking assistance device includes a position azimuth information acquisition unit; a LIDAR; a map generation updating unit; a high-point acquisition unit; and a position azimuth estimation unit. The LIDAR acquires point-group data three-dimensionally indicating the environment around a ship. The map generation updating unit generates a map around the ship based on the point-group data. The high-point acquisition unit acquires, from within the point-group data, a high point having a prescribed height or more. The position azimuth estimation unit estimates the position and the azimuth of the ship through matching between the position of the high point acquired by the high-point acquisition unit and the position of the high point in the map. The map generation updating unit updates the map by placing the point-group data in the map using, as references, the position and the azimuth of the ship estimated by the position azimuth estimation unit.
