Disclosed are a digital signage platform providing apparatus, an operating method thereof, and a system including the same. By calculating a reference point of a building area for displaying content information related to a plurality of pieces of POI information based on sensing data of a vehicle and floor number information and spatial coordinates for the building area, rendering AR digital signage corresponding to the content information in one or more AR display areas determined based on the calculated reference point, and providing the rendering result to a user terminal, the result may be mapped, on a floor-by-floor basis, to an AR display area of a building in a driving image acquired through a vision sensor. Accordingly, it is possible to overcome the limitation of displaying only one advertisement and maximize an advertisement effect to provide a plurality of various advertisements in one building.

Techniques are described for configuring a monitoring system to assist users during a detected emergency condition at a property. In some implementations, sensor data from one or more sensors that are located at the property are obtained by a monitoring system that is configured to monitor the property. A determination that there is an emergency condition at the property is made by the monitoring system based on the sensor data, determining. A location of a person inside the property is determined by the monitoring system based on the sensor data. A first path to the person and a second path to guide the person away from the emergency condition are determined by the monitoring system. The first path to the person and the second path to guide the person away from the emergency condition are navigated by a computing device of the monitoring system.

A navigation method is provided. The method includes obtaining a navigation destination of a first navigation application of a mobile terminal. Once the navigation destination is sent from the mobile terminal to a vehicle-mounted device, a second navigation application of the vehicle-mounted device is controlled to navigate based on the navigation destination.

Embodiments disclose a computer-implemented method for guiding a user along a route, the method including receiving route information from a route server, where the route information includes geographical positions of roads and designated lanes of travel for each of a plurality of segments along the route, and receiving a series of images captured by the camera along the route. The method includes analyzing the series of images to determine a horizon and one or more available lanes of travel along the route, identifying one or more designated lanes from the one or more available lanes based on the analyzing of the series of images, and displaying the series of images along with a navigational layer superimposed over the series of images to the user, the navigational layer comprising a blocked region covering areas of the series of images outside of the one or more designated lanes and below the horizon.

Techniques are described for building extrusion in an electronic map. A client map application receives geographic location information, such as from a user input. The client map application retrieves electronic map data representing a specific building at a location indicated by the received geographic location information. The client map application generates an extruded building graphical element illustrating the specific building in three dimensions based on the retrieved electronic map data representing the specific building. The client map application renders an electronic map representing electronic map data according to a first style. The electronic map also includes the extruded building graphical element such that the specific building is rendered in three dimensions according to a second style.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique capable of reducing a difference between a three-dimensional shape represented by map data, using approximation, and a real three-dimensional shape. A map data generating apparatus is a map data generating apparatus capable of generating map data representing a three-dimensional shape, using approximation, the map data generating apparatus including: an acquisition part that acquires a shape point sequence indicating the three-dimensional shape, and a control part that generates an arc passing three object points, based on the three object points in the shape point sequence acquired by the acquisition part, and determines whether an approximation division point that should not be approximated in the three-dimensional shape is included in the three object points, based on the arc.

A display device linked to a vehicle which transmits a request for point of interest (POI) information based on sensing data of the vehicle to an augmented reality (AR) digital signage platform providing system; recognizes a spatial location of a building associated with POI information; transmits a rendering request for generating AR digital signage corresponding to the POI information on a floor-by-floor basis; receives a rendering result comprising the generated AR digital signage; displays a driving image acquired through a camera having the AR digital signage mapped to a display area in the driving image; and in response to the display area being changed in the driving image, transmits, to the system, information related to the changed display area and receiving an updated rendering result for mapping the AR digital signage to the changed display area in the driving image.

Localization apparatuses and methods are disclosed where a localization apparatus extracts a feature of an object from an input image, generates an image in which the object is projected with respect to localization information of a device based on map data, and evaluates the localization information based on feature values corresponding to vertices included in a projection image.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving sensor data corresponding to an environment external of a vehicle. The sensor data include data points. The method includes determining one or more subsets of the data points. The method includes comparing the one or more subsets of the data points to one or more predetermined data patterns. Each of the one or more predetermined data patterns corresponds to an object classification. The method includes computing a confidence score for each subset of data points of the one or more subsets of the data points as corresponding to each of the one or more predetermined data patterns based on the comparison. The method includes generating a classification for an object in the environment external of the vehicle based on the confidence score.
