Closed Map Boundary Editing via Movement-Path Segment Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing map boundary editing methods for outdoor robots are inefficient and inaccurate, especially when modifying large operation areas, often resulting in unintended changes to local boundary contours.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves acquiring current map information, entering an editing state, determining line segments based on movement trajectory information, and replacing selected segments with new segments to edit the boundary, using a computer device and storage medium to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If redefining a new boundary is performed for large operation areas, then the operation area can be modified, but the editing process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The boundary editing process is segmented into local operations. Instead of redefining the entire boundary, the system divides the boundary into multiple line segments and allows selective editing of individual segments or small groups of segments, significantly reducing the editing scope and time required for large operation areas
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial action by allowing users to edit only the specific portions of the boundary that need modification rather than the entire boundary. This partial editing approach reduces the overall editing time and effort while achieving the desired modification
2Ease of operation
If redefining a new boundary is performed for large operation areas, then the operation area can be modified, but the shape of local boundary contours may not meet expectations while unintended areas are changed
Solution Approach 1:
The boundary is divided into discrete line segments that can be independently selected and edited. This segmentation allows precise control over which portions of the boundary are modified, ensuring that only the intended local areas are changed while preserving the accuracy and shape of unintended areas
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by allowing different editing operations on different segments of the boundary. Each segment can be edited with specific parameters and constraints tailored to its local requirements, ensuring that the boundary contour accuracy is maintained in areas that do not require modification while allowing flexibility in areas that do

AI summary
A map boundary editing method comprises: acquiring the current map information, wherein the map information comprises a closed boundary of a map; in response to a first instruction, entering an editing state of the closed boundary; acquiring movement trajectory information, wherein the movement trajectory information comprises a movement path; based on the positional relationship between the closed boundary and the movement path, determining a first line segment and a second line segment, which constitute the closed boundary, and a third line segment, the two ends of which are connected to the first line segment and the second line segment; determining a replacement line segment between the first line segment and the second line segment; and replacing the replacement line segment with the third line segment, so as to edit the closed boundary.
