Abstract
A method for use in forming an image of an object comprises setting a value of an attribute of an image of an object according to a measured reflectance of the object. The image of the object thus formed may be realistic and may closely resemble the actual real-world appearance of the object. Such a method may, in particular, though not exclusively, be useful for providing a realistic image of a road surface and any road markings thereon to assist with navigation. Setting a value of an attribute of the image of the object may comprise generating an initial image of the object and adjusting a value of an attribute of the initial image of the object according to the measured reflectance of the object to form an enhanced image of the object. A method for use in navigation comprises providing a navigation system with data associated with an image formed using such a method. An image formed using such a method and a map database containing such an image are also disclosed.
