System and method of overlaying and integrating data with geographic mapping applications

The present invention embodiments include a geographic overlay system including an information system, a mapping system interface to communicate with a mapping system and a database system including National Census geographic boundaries and data files. The geographic overlay system utilizes a client / server model that streams geographic data from a server system to dynamically render vector-based map layers inside a client browser. The geographic overlay system employs a Nationwide database of Census geographies that may be rendered as interactive point, line or polygon objects over a National base map provided by the mapping system. A database builder interface enables users to build the database and server pages. The present invention embodiments overlay translucent, interactive dynamically generated vector-based polygonal Census boundary map layers over geographical maps from the mapping system.

Method for analyzing net demand for a market area utilizing weighted bands

After defining a relevant market area around a selected geographical point, a map is generated using stored geographical map information around a selected geographical point and a geographical area is selected around that point. Multiple bands are formed on the map around the geographical point and market information is gathered from a database for the defined geographical area. The bands are weighted based according to empirical data drawn from within the market area, if available, or from data from a demographically matched location. A net demand model is constructed to perform point studies, comparison studies, area studies, and multi-unit simulations for the selected geographical area.

A trend analysis system accesses a database of values related to a plurality of events and a geographical map of a region of interest, the map including boundary divisions that represent a type of event. A user inputs a preliminary set of parameters to categorize the type of event and allows the trend analysis system to create assumptions related to the type of event, the assumptions being related to a spatial decay rate for the influence on a value of interest associated with each event. The trend analysis system determines an assumptions variable based upon the assumptions and prepares a density map based upon the assumptions variable, the type of event, the geographical map, the preliminary set and the database of values. The density map has large values in regions with a large numbers of events and small values in regions with a small number of events.

Method for manipulation of objects within electronic graphic documents

A method of transforming location based objects, such as text, included in a digital source Artwork file, for example a geographical map file, and creating a transformed target Artwork file. The method is particularly advantageous in converting geographical maps from one language to another. The method includes tools for extracting the required location based objects, for example text elements, from the source file, including all pertaining information, into a first intermediate structured database, represented for the user as, for example, a structured table. The required transformations are then operated on the extracted objects, partly manually but also automatically creating a transformed second intermediate database, which is subsequently integrated with the source file to create a target file, which represents, for example, a new map with translated text on new layers.

Simultaneous multi-event universal kriging methods for spatio-temporal data analysis and mapping

Systems and methods configured to create contour maps of geospatial variables based on hydrometeorological data associated with the variable are described herein. The systems and methods advantageously use simultaneous multi-event universal kriging for spatio-temporal data exploration, analysis and interpolation with the objective of creating a series of related maps, where each map corresponds to a specific sampling event, but wherein some features exhibit spatial relationships persisting over time. In one particular example, water level maps are prepared using the methods, which has the flexibility to allow the conditioning of trend coefficients based on any arbitrary subsets of sample data, and thereby provides a physically based and deterministic rather than wholly-stochastic basis for depicting hydrometeorological data correlations in space and time. The simultaneous MEUK method borrows strength from events possessing a large number of samples to map events possessing fewer data, and allows for implementing ā€œwheel and axleā€ data analysis.
