Title: Innovations by Guillaume A Carbonneau

Introduction

Guillaume A Carbonneau is an accomplished inventor based in Alameda, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of mapping technologies, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to data processing and geometry association.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Scalable and efficient cutting of map tiles." This process reduces the amount of data for a map tile that cannot be displayed separately at the scale of that tile. It generates an equivalent of the road data by rasterizing the vectors representing road segments within a tile and creating a connectivity mask to track pixel connections along the vectors. The process constructs an undirected graph, where each 'on' pixel represents a vertex connected by edges generated from the connectivity graph. This method simplifies chains of connected road segments to minimize the data required for storage and transmission, ensuring all visible roads are produced at the appropriate scale.

Another notable patent is "Scalable processing for associating geometries with map tiles." This method employs a parallel processing system to determine whether different geometries intersect each tile in a map hierarchy. It receives a geometry description and tile identification, utilizing available processing units to assess intersections. When a geometry intersects a tile with child tiles, the method stores task descriptions for processing units, allowing for efficient determination of intersections down the tree hierarchy.
