ABSTRACT:
Digital maps quickly become obsolete and need to be updated regularly. Traditional map making solutions are generally labour intensive, slow, error prone and expensive. In addition, these methods do not scale globally. My research project has been undertaken as part of the NICTA's AutoMap project with the aim of developing technologies for the automatic creation of digital maps. One of the methods which the project has been working on is the use of in-vehicle data collection units containing low-cost sensors. The main goal of my work is to develop a distributed data collection model, which is able to effectively collect and incorporate sensor measurements from different roads and gradually build a global map of the environment.
