Georeferenced Raster Data. Raster geodata consists of georeferenced data grids and images that are stored as matrices or objects in the MATLAB ® workspace. While raster geodata looks like any other matrix of real numbers, what sets it apart is that it is georeferenced, either to the globe or to a specified map...
Method of building a validation database
InactiveUS20090094270A1Easy and quick correctionValid matchGeographical information databasesSpecial data processing applicationsExact matchData source
A validation database (VDB) is built from geographic reference data sources such as MSAG and USPS using automatic address correlation, and links between the records are stored in the VDB. The automatic address correlation employs multiple correlation algorithms, and a score is assigned to each link representing a confidence level. The score is based on a combination of results from the different algorithms. Links having a score representing a partial or exact match are used for address validation purposes. A management interface allows the VDB agent to edit master records and the links, including the score. A remote subscriber can request validation of a proposed address from the VDB, and may include match criteria with the request. If any matches are found, a validation reply is sent from the VDB to the subscriber with the corresponding MSAG records.

3-dimensional interactive image modeling system
InactiveUS7457706B2Easy to identifyCharacter and pattern recognitionSpecial data processing applicationsThe InternetInformation product
A system and method for generating custom geospatial information maps and precision corrected images allows real-time interactive production of a desired output image by incorporating user selectable parameters that define various image synthesizing operations. A graphical user interface allows a user to specify parameters that define the desired output image via a remote computing device over a public access network such as the Internet. The parameters define image synthesizing operations such as area, projection, datum, fusion, masking, blending, mosaiking, resampling, and others. The desired output image is processed by an image assembly server according to the parameters and a variety of geospatial image data sources, and electronically delivered to a user via a public access network. The geospatial information may also be correlated with non-georeferenced data such that relevant associations between non-georeferenced data and the geospatial data are integrated in the output information product.

A common surveillance system allows multiple users to share and communicate surveillance data with each other as well as with one or more agencies, such as law enforcement, hospitals, and / or emergency services. A geo-reference database stores image data from imaging devices. A computer-implemented user interface accesses the geo-reference database to present stored image data on a display device. The user interface generates a status-board display, accessible to a specific client computer, showing images relating to a time and / or location of a display view imaged from the imaging devices. A common-operating platform shows images with a time and / or location associated with each image and is globally accessible to multiple client computers via one or more data communication networks. Based on a user input, images may be shared real-time via a bridge between the status-board display and the common-operating platform.

High resolution tracking of mobile assets
InactiveUS6920391B2Accurate descriptionAccurate displayInstruments for road network navigationRoad vehicles traffic controlAsset trackingComputer science
A system and method for describing local area geo-reference features and landmarks in providing high resolution asset location information. Geo-image data is integrated to a mapping application and geo-reference data to add more detailed scale levels to the map. The geo-image data includes geo-images and its features to provide more detailed references to the asset and support the larger references of the geo-reference data. To describe a geo-reference landmark, an original landmark representation is selected with a center point and a radius. The asset location points located at the original landmark representation are compiled along with the asset location points generated by events occurring at the landmark to create a point set. The point set replaces the original landmark representation when a prescribed number of points is reached. The asset location points that are within a specified distance from any of the points in the point set are added to the point set to complete the landmark representation. The geo-image data and landmark representation data are combined to provide high resolution asset location information.

Systems and methods for automatic detection of disaster relief assets from a satellite image can include a satellite and a processor, which can contain non-transitory written directions that perform a method, which includes the step of defining spectra of interest (SOI). A reference spectral profile that is based on the SOI is built. The reference spectral profile can extend into the near infrared range to eliminate false positive indications. A satellite image of the spatial region of interest (ROI) is taken. For each pixel in the ROI, test spectra of the spatial region can be extracted and compared to the reference spectral profile using a spectral angle mapper (SAM) tool. When the comparison meets predetermined parameters, that pixel of the ROI can be deemed to be indicative of a disaster relief asset, and the geo-reference data for that pixel can be transmitted to a remote user.
