Abstract
A post capture imagery processing system is provided. The system is for use with aerial imagery and includes a server having a processor and a memory and a software application providing instruction to the server to process the captured aerial imagery, such as spherical imagery. The server further includes instructions to geo-rectify the spherical imagery. The geo rectifying of the spherical imagery may include one of use of a third party GIS map to associate corresponding data with the spherical imagery in order to produce a geo-referenced spherical image, or calculate the geo-references by a software application performing particular operations on the server.
Claims1
A method of deploying an interface for utilizing georectified
- aerial spherical imagery, the method comprising:
- send data for a georectified spherical image from a server to a computer to display on the computer the georectified spherical image, wherein the georectified spherical image is created with a warping process comprising a nonlinear warp from a reference geodetic coordinate system to pan and tilt coordinates in the spherical image;
- receive a signal from the computer at the server in response to the user selecting a point in the georectified spherical image using the computer, wherein the signal includes the location of the point in the georectified spherical image;
- perform a reverse warp process to determine a true geo location of the selected point, wherein the server is further programmed to create a vector by connecting a center of the georectified spherical image with the point;
- and
- display at the computer using the deployment interface the true geo location of the point on a reference map in response to the server sending data of the reference map and the true geo location of the point to the computer.
