A capability for prominence-based feature generation and rendering for digital maps is provided. More specifically, embodiments relate to rendering map features such as buildings or landmarks in different rendering styles based on signals for how important a particular feature is to a search context. A search context may be, for example and without limitation, a general view of the map or a user-initiated search request for a particular point of interest or driving directions between different points of interest on the map. For example, the different rendering styles may include, but are not limited to, two-dimensional (2D) footprints, two-and-a-half-dimensional (2.5D) extruded polygons, as will be described further below, and full three-dimensional (3D) models. Furthermore, the style could include color and/or visual texture.

Method for detecting textural defects in an image. The image, which may have an irregular visual texture, may be received. The image may be decomposed into a plurality of subbands. The image may be portioned into a plurality of partitions. A plurality of grey-level co-occurrence matrices (GLCMs) may be determined for each partition.

The invention discloses a road texture picture enhancement method coupling a traditional method and a WGAN-GP, and data is enhanced in combination with the traditional method and the WGAN-GP so as to achieve the effects of data amplification and balancing of various samples. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, converting road texture data collected by a commercial handheld three-dimensional laser scanner into two-dimensional visual texture pictures, and then classifying and preprocessing the road texture pictures and making a data set by using a manual method and a batch processing means. Based on an original small-sample-size and unbalanced pavement texture data set, a WGAN-GP network is adopted for further expansion on the basis of enhancement of a traditional method. The textural features of the newly generated picture are relatively more obvious and are easier to identify by a machine, so that the generalization ability of the model is improved, and the over-fitting phenomenon is reduced. In addition, the method not only can save labor and time cost, but also plays a crucial role in road condition analysis and automatic driving.
