Systems and methods are provided for autonomous navigation based on user intervention. In one implementation, a navigation system for a vehicle may include least one processor. The at least one processor may be programmed to receive images acquired by a camera from an environment of a vehicle; determine a navigational maneuver for the vehicle based on analysis of one or more of the plurality of images; cause the vehicle to initiate the navigational maneuver; receive a user input causing an override to alter the initiated navigational maneuver; determine navigational situation information relating to the vehicle via analysis of the images; determine, based on the navigational situation information, whether the user input is associated with a transient condition; and when the user input is not associated with a transient condition, store the navigational situation information in association with information relating to the user input.

Systems and methods navigate a vehicle on a road at least partially covered with snow. In one implementation, a system may include at least one processor programmed to receive from an image capture device, a plurality of images captured of an environment forward of the vehicle, including an area where snow covers a road on which the vehicle travels, analyze at least one of the plurality of images to identify a first free space boundary on a first side of the vehicle and extending forward of the vehicle, a second free space boundary on a passenger side of the vehicle and extending forward of the vehicle, and a forward free space boundary forward of the vehicle and extending between the first free space boundary and the second free space boundary.

Concepts for generating navigation instructions for a driver of a vehicle are presented. One example, includes obtaining a current location of the vehicle, a route for the vehicle from the current location to a target destination, and a captured image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, the image having a field of view comprising at least part of a field of view of the driver. An object is identified in the captured image. Navigation instructions for the driver are generated based on the current location of the vehicle, the route for the vehicle and the object identified in the captured image.

A map information management device includes a processor; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform processes of: acquiring map information and determining a guiding route for a vehicle, determining whether the vehicle has operated in accordance with the guiding route, acquiring a position where the vehicle is determined to have operated differently from the guiding route, acquiring an image in which the acquired position is captured, acquiring landmark information from the acquired image, and generating difference information on a difference between the acquired landmark information and landmark information included in map information of the position where the vehicle is determined to have operated differently from the guiding route.

A map system is a system for autonomously navigating a vehicle along a road segment and includes at least one processor. The processor acquires at least one image representing the environment of the vehicle from the imaging device, acquires the brightness of the environment of the vehicle, analyzes the image to calculate the position of the landmark with respect to the road on which the vehicle travels, determines the position of the own vehicle based on the position of the landmark calculated from the image and the map information stored in the server, and emits an illumination light in a direction in which a presence of the landmark is estimated when the brightness is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value.

An apparatus for generating a navigation message includes a route generating unit configured to generate a route, and a navigation message generating unit configured to generate a navigation message about the generated route based on the generated route, one or more map information items of the generated route, and an order of priority in which map information items are presented.

Provided are a wearable device, a control method and apparatus thereof, and a computer storage medium. The method includes providing route data of a competition route, where the route data of the competition route includes check-in point data; acquiring position data of the wearable device; determining, based on the position data of the wearable device and the route data of the competition route, a feature position located in the competition route and corresponding feature position data; calculating relative position data between the position data of the wearable device and the feature position data; and outputting corresponding prompt information on the wearable device according to the relative position data.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are therefore provided for reducing the cognitive cost of a journey to an operator through a reduction in the cognitive cost of guidance information. Methods may include: receiving an indication of a journey to a destination including a plurality of entities of interest (EOIs); identifying a next entity of interest (EOI); determine guidance information relative to the next EOI; determining cognitive cost of the journey up to the next EOI; in response to the cognitive cost of the journey up to the next EOI not satisfying a predetermined value: determining new guidance information relative to the next EOI having a lower cognitive cost; recalculating the cognitive cost of the journey up to the next EOI; and in response to the cognitive cost of the journey up to the next EOI satisfying a predetermined value, providing the guidance information relative to the next EOI.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for selecting waypoints using timelines. A waypoint selection system includes a display and a logic device configured to communicate with the display and a position sensor. The logic device is configured to receive user input defining a plurality of navigational waypoints, receive user input defining a timeline comprising a start point and an end point, and render a subset of the plurality of navigational waypoints, wherein each time stamp associated with each navigational waypoint of the subset of navigational waypoints corresponds to the defined timeline. Each navigational waypoint may be defined, at least in part, by position data received from the position sensor and/or a corresponding time stamp.

The image displaying method, capable of intuitively displaying various pieces of information about a point of interest (POI) to a user in the form of an icon, includes: controlling a camera of a user terminal to acquire a surrounding area of the user terminal; controlling a communication module of the user terminal to receive location information of a point of interest (POI) from a server; controlling a display of the user terminal to display a composite image by synthesizing an icon, in which the location information of the POI is displayed, in a partial area of the surrounding image; and changing a size of the icon based on a distance between the user terminal and the POI.
