Title: Peter J. Potts: Map Data Adjustments for Anomaly Correction
Introduction
Peter J. Potts is an inventor associated with San Mateo, California, and Apple Inc. His patent work addresses a mapping challenge: correcting building shapes that overlap roads in digital map data.
Latest Patents
Potts is credited with 1 patent, titled “Map Data Adjustments for Anomaly Correction.” The disclosed techniques identify when polygons representing buildings intersect or overlap roads. A computer system selects a pivot point on a building polygon and iteratively scales the polygon until the intersection is avoided. The resulting transformation can then be rendered in a map view.
Career Highlights
Potts’s listed invention applies computational geometry to improve the consistency of map data. By adjusting building polygons independently, the method offers a way to correct spatial anomalies while preserving a usable map representation.
Collaborations
Potts is associated with Apple Inc. and is listed alongside coworkers Gianluca Donato and Gunjan Gupta.
Conclusion
Peter J. Potts’s patent describes a practical approach to correcting building-road overlaps, contributing to more accurate digital map displays.
