Method and apparatus for dispatching to a geo-location

A method for improving geo-location precision, comprising:

• maintaining a geo-location database comprising a plurality of site identifiers mapped to coordinate data;
• extracting coordinate data from geo-metadata associated with a plurality of image files corresponding to a plurality of physical sites;
• storing the coordinate data in the geo-location database, wherein the geo-location database comprises site identifiers mapped to the coordinate data;
• comparing previously stored coordinate data and the extracted coordinate data to generate updated coordinate data having increased positional precision;
• and
• persistently modifying the geo-location database to store the updated coordinate data for subsequent computational use.

A system for improving geo-location precision, comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• maintain a geo-location database comprising a plurality of site identifiers mapped to coordinate data;
• extract coordinate data from geo-metadata associated with a plurality of image files corresponding to a plurality of physical sites;
• store the coordinate data in the geo-location database, wherein the geo-location database comprises site identifiers mapped to the coordinate data;
• compare previously stored coordinate data and the extracted coordinate data to generate updated coordinate data having increased positional precision;
• and
• persistently modify the geo-location database to store the updated coordinate data for subsequent computational use.

A system for improving geo-location precision, comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• access a geo-location record associated with a site identifier, the geo-location record comprising first coordinate data having a first precision level;
• obtain image data captured at a physical site corresponding to the site identifier, wherein the image data includes embedded geo-metadata specifying second coordinate data;
• extract the second coordinate data from the embedded geo-metadata of the image data;
• compare the first coordinate data and the second coordinate data to determine a refined coordinate value having a second precision level greater than the first precision level;
• and
• update the geo-location record with the refined coordinate value.
