Abstract

Repairing GPS data is disclosed. Repairing GPS data includes repairing an effort, comprising determining that the effort includes inaccurate GPS data; and adjusting the effort using a repaired base map. Repairing GPs data includes repairing a segment, comprising determining an inaccurate shape data in the segment; and adjusting shape data for the segment based on a repaired base.

Claims (22)

1. A system to repair a segment, comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine an inaccurate shape data in the segment; and

adjust shape data for the segment based on a repaired base map, wherein adjusting the shape data for the segment based on the repaired base map includes:

determining a linear path between a start point and an end point associated with the segment; and

determining a replacement segment based at least in part on adjusting the linear path based on a path included in the repaired base map; and

a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store the segment.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the repaired base map is generated based at least in part on one or more of the following: user uploaded GPS data, third party GPS data, and GPS data associated with a validated segment.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the user uploaded GPS data includes a set of GPS data corresponding to an effort.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine an effort to match the replacement segment.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to validate the replacement segment based at least in part on the matching effort.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the inaccurate shape data in the segment is based at least in part on determining that a matching effort to the segment is associated with a low quality match with the segment.

7. A method to repair a segment, comprising:

determining an inaccurate shape data in the segment; and

adjusting shape data for the segment based on a repaired base map, wherein adjusting the shape data for the segment based on the repaired base map includes:

determining a linear path between a start point and an end point associated with the segment; and

determining a replacement segment based at least in part on adjusting the linear path based on a path included in the repaired base map.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the repaired base map is generated based at least in part on one or more of the following: user uploaded GPS data, third party GPS data, and GPS data associated with a validated segment.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user uploaded GPS data includes a set of GPS data corresponding to an effort.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining an effort to match the replacement segment.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising validating the replacement segment based at least in part on the matching effort.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the inaccurate shape data in the segment is based at least in part on determining that a matching effort to the segment is associated with a low quality match with the segment.
