Abstract
A method is provided for generation of map geometry through rasterization of probe data over time, where the generated map geometry can be used for map element generation. Methods may include: receiving probe data from a plurality of probe apparatuses within a geographic area where the probe data includes location information and time information; rasterizing the received probe data to generate an image corresponding to the probe data associated with the geographic area, where each pixel of the image includes a property representing at least one component of the probe data; processing the image to obtain one or more map elements; and updating a map database with the one or more map elements.
