Abstract
A method is provided for using sensor data that is consistent with the model to verify the model, and using sensor data that is different from the model to identify regions of the model requiring updates. Methods include: receiving observation data associated with a geographic area; comparing the observation data with a model of the geographic area; in response to the observation data failing to correspond to the model of the geographic area, identifying the observation data as novel data; in response to the observation data corresponding to the model of the geographic area, identifying the observation data as same data; using the novel data to update a map of a map database to form an updated map; and for observation data identified as same data, maintaining the map of the map database without using the same data to update the map.
