System and program for generating integrated database of imaged map

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for controlling an electronic processor to function as:

• an image information acquisition element which acquires image information representing a photographed photographing target in an arbitrary photography direction from an arbitrary photography position using a photography element;
• a distance information acquisition element which acquires a measurement result of a distance between the photography position and the photographing target;
• an azimuth angle acquisition element which acquires a measurement result of an azimuth angle in the photography direction;
• an elevation/depression angle acquisition element which acquires a measurement result of an elevation/depression angle in the photography direction;
• a coordinate information acquisition element which acquires a coordinate of the photography position;
• a photographing target coordinate calculation element which calculates coordinate information of the photographing target, based on the coordinate of the photography position, the distance, the azimuth angle, and the elevation/depression angle;
• a geographical information data output element which outputs data on a geographical information system, the data including the image information of the photographing target acquired by the image information acquisition element and the coordinate information of the photographing target calculated by the photographing target coordinate calculation element in association with each other;
• and
• a display element which displays the image information of the photographing target that is output by the geographical information data output element, in a position of the photographing target on a map based on the coordinate information, and wherein
• the display element displays the image information of the photographing target which has been output by the geographical information data output element in the position of the photographing target on a three-dimensional map in such a manner that the image information is inclined to intersect at a right angle with the photography direction, based on the azimuth angle acquired by the azimuth angle acquisition element, the elevation/depression angle acquired by the elevation/depression angle acquisition element, and the coordinate information.

A method, comprising:

• acquiring image information representing a photographed photographing target in an arbitrary photography direction from an arbitrary photography position using a photography element;
• acquiring a measurement result of a distance between the photography position and the photographing target;
• acquiring a measurement result of an azimuth angle in the photography direction;
• acquiring a measurement result of an elevation/depression angle in the photography direction;
• acquiring a coordinate of the photography position;
• calculating coordinate information of the photographing target, based on the coordinate of the photography position, the distance, the azimuth angle, and the elevation/depression angle;
• outputting data, on a geographical information system, the data including the acquired image information of the photographing target and the calculated coordinate information of the photographing target in association with each other;
• and
• displaying the image information of the photographing target that is output, in a position of the photographing target on a map based on the coordinate information, wherein
• the displaying of the image information is displayed on a three-dimensional map in such a manner that the image information is inclined to intersect at a right angle with the photography direction, based on the acquired azimuth angle, the acquired elevation/depression angle, and the coordinate information.
