Abstract
An image of a geographical area is generated, the geographical area including at least one sensor-readable tag (SRT). The image of the geographical area includes images of the at least one SRT. Each SRT is associated with a landmark and encoded with label information of the landmark. Images of the at least one SRT are extracted from the image of the geographical area. For each of the at least one SRT, the label information of the landmark is decoded based on the extracted image of the SRT. A geographical label layer is generated including the label information of each landmark. A superimposed image is generated by superimposing the geographical label layer on the image of the geographical area.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- generating an image of a geographical area, the geographical area including at least one sensor-readable tag (SRT), the image of the geographical area including images of the at least one SRT, and each SRT associated with a landmark and encoded with label information of the landmark;
- extracting images of the at least one SRT from the image of the geographical area;
- for each of the at least one SRT, decoding the label information of the landmark based on the extracted image of the SRT;
- generating a geographical label layer including the label information of each landmark;
- and
- generating a superimposed image by superimposing the geographical label layer on the image of the geographical area.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:
- generating an image of a geographical area, the geographical area including at least one sensor-readable tag (SRT), the image of the geographical area including images of the at least one SRT, and each SRT associated with a landmark and encoded with label information of the landmark;
- extracting images of the at least one SRT from the image of the geographical area;
- for each of the at least one SRT, decoding the label information of the landmark based on the extracted image of the SRT;
- generating a geographical label layer including the label information of each landmark;
- and
- generating a superimposed image by superimposing the geographical label layer on the image of the geographical area.
A computer-implemented system, comprising:
- a computer memory;
- and
- a hardware processor interoperably coupled with the computer memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
- generating an image of a geographical area, the geographical area including at least one sensor-readable tag (SRT), the image of the geographical area including images of the at least one SRT, and each SRT associated with a landmark and encoded with label information of the landmark;
- extracting images of the at least one SRT from the image of the geographical area;
- for each of the at least one SRT, decoding the label information of the landmark based on the extracted image of the SRT;
- generating a geographical label layer including the label information of each landmark;
- and
- generating a superimposed image by superimposing the geographical label layer on the image of the geographical area.
