Abstract

The present invention provides a road shape estimating device, road shape estimating method and program, whic can accurately estimate the road shape. The road shape estimating device has a data obtaining processing unit that is adapted to obtain interpolation point data, a radius calculation processing unit that is adapted to calculate a radius of curvature at each of shape interpolation points based on the interpolation point data, a corner detection processing unit that is adapted to detect a corner in the section based on the radius of curvature at each of the shape interpolation points and that is adapted to set a candidate start point and a candidate end point of the detected corner, and a corner connection processing unit that is adapted to determine whether a predetermined connecting condition is met or not based on candidate start points and candidate end points of detected corners, and connecting, when the predetermined connecting condition is met, a predetermined corner among the plurality of corners and a corner adjacent to the predetermined corner. Since whether a predetermined condition is met or not is determined based on candidate start points and candidate end points, the road shape can be estimated precisely.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a road shape estimation device, a road shape estimation method, and a program. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in a navigation device, for example, the current position of the vehicle is detected by GPS (Global Positioning System), that is, the current place, map data is read out from the data recording unit, and a map screen is formed on the display unit. The current location of the vehicle, a map of the surrounding area of ​​the vehicle, and the like are displayed on the display. Therefore, the driver can drive the vehicle according to the position of the own vehicle displayed on the above-mentioned map screen. [0003] Also, after the driver inputs a destination and sets search conditions, a route search process is performed based on the search conditions, and a route from a departure point displayed as a current location to a destination is searched according to the above-mentioned map data. Then, th...
