METHOD AND COMPUTING SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING DIGITAL MAP DATA, AND METHOD OF PROVIDING OR UPDATING DIGITAL MAP DATA OF A NAVIGATION DEVICE

A first digital map and a second digital map re processed to identify matching objects by a map data processing system. The first digital map is used to generate a first ordered array of pixel values. The second digital map is used to generate a second ordered array of pixel values. A machine learning (ML) model is used to determine at least one score indicative of a likelihood that the first digital map object corresponds to the second digital map object.
