20130002678 | RENDERING A TEXT IMAGE FOLLOWING A LINE - A graphics or image rendering system, such as a map image rendering system, receives image data from an image database in the form of vector data that defines various image objects, such as roads, geographical boundaries, etc., and textures defining text strings to be displayed on the image to provide, for example, labels for the image objects. The imaging rendering system renders the images such that the individual characters of the text strings are placed on the image following a multi-segmented or curved line. This rendering system enables text strings to be placed on a map image so that the text follows the center line of a curved or angled road or other image feature without knowing the specifics of the curvature of the line along which the text will be placed when creating the texture that stores the text string information. This feature provides enhanced visual properties within a map image as it allows, for example, road names to be placed anywhere inside a road following the curvature of the road, thus providing a pleasing visual effect within the map image. | 01-03-2013 |
20130002679 | RENDERING A TEXT IMAGE USING TEXTURE MAP CHARACTER CENTER ENCODING - A graphics or image rendering system, such as a map image rendering system, receives image data from an image database in the form of vector data that defines various image objects, such as roads, geographical boundaries, etc., and textures defining text strings to be displayed on the image to provide, for example, labels for the image objects. The imaging rendering system renders the images such that the individual characters of the text strings are placed on the image following a multi-segmented or curved line. In doing so, the image rendering system creates and reads a texture map that stores pixelated text characters of the text strings to be rendered in the image and that stores encoding data defining the center position of each text character as stored in the texture map. This center position encoding enables the system to determine whether, in any particular instance, a text character of a text string should be rendered in the image at a particular position along the line or at a different position along the line. This encoding and rendering system enables text strings to be placed on a map image so that the text follows the center line of a curved or angled road or other image feature without knowing the specifics of the curvature of the line along which the text will be placed when creating the texture that stores the text string information. | 01-03-2013 |
20130002680 | RENDERING A TEXT IMAGE USING TEXTURE MAP CHARACTER CENTER ENCODING WITH CHARACTER REFERENCE ENCODING - A graphics or image rendering system, such as a map image rendering system, receives image data from an image database in the form of vector data that defines various image objects, such as roads, geographical boundaries, etc., and textures defining text strings to be displayed on the image to provide, for example, labels for the image objects. The imaging rendering system renders the images such that the individual characters of the text strings are placed on the image following a multi-segmented or curved line. In doing so, the image rendering system creates and reads a texture map that stores pixelated text characters of the text strings to be rendered in the image as a set of glyphs and that also stores first encoding data defining the center position of each text character as stored in a glyph and second encoding data referencing the location of the glyph to be used as the text character. This center position encoding enables the system to determine whether, in any particular instance, a text character of a text string should be rendered in the image at a particular position along the line or at a different position along the line while maximizing the storage efficiency of the texture map used to store the text string by allowing text characters repeated in a text string to be stored only once in the texture map. | 01-03-2013 |

20140340421 | EFFICIENT COMPOSITION AND RENDERING OF GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS - To provide map data for rendering map images corresponding to a selected geographic region at a client device, a map server generates a set of base map tiles having vector descriptors, each of which indicates a geometry of a respective map element, in accordance with a non-raster format for rendering a first map image. The map server, at some point, provides the base map tiles to the client device. Upon receiving an indication that a specific map image for the selected geographic region is to be rendered at the client device, the map server further generates a set of difference map tiles that indicate changes to be made to the set of base map tiles and sends the difference map tiles to the client device for use, along with the set of base map tiles, in rendering the requested specific map image. The client device renders the new map view defined by the difference map tiles without needing to again pre-process all of the features or elements defined in the base map tiles, which makes the rendering of the new map view defined by the difference map tiles faster and more efficient in terms of processing power requirements. | 11-20-2014 |

20120072080 | IMAGE ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT CONTROL - An image acquisition and processing system includes an image sensor and one or more processors that are configured to receive at least a portion of at least one image from the image sensor. The dynamic aim of the image sensor is configured as a function of at least one feature extracted from at least a portion of an image. To accomplish the task, the system utilizes a series of adaptive thresholds used in parallel comparators to determine whether or not a pixel in a given image scene falls on the edge of a given lane line on a road. The location of the lane lines are then used to determine the scene vanishing point, which ideally will be co-located at the optical scene center. If they are not in agreement, the pixel data set being processed can be adjusted to accommodate for any disagreement. | 03-22-2012 |
