Abstract
Systems and methods are described for identifying and validating the routes and characteristics of roads unknown to a road mapping database. The systems and methods may combine feature recognition analysis of aerial images with other information sources such as location tracking information from a mobile device or client in order to improve the accuracy of road information stored within a road mapping database. The systems and methods may also facilitate the collection of additional information regarding the characteristics of the identified roads from a client device or user thereof.
