GENERATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL GEO-REGISTERED MAPS FROM IMAGE DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240355049 titled 'GENERATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL GEO-REGISTERED MAPS FROM IMAGE DATA
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes a method where a plurality of images is used to create a three-dimensional model, which is then registered to a geographic coordinate system. This registered model is merged with another model to generate a merged 3D model. A client device can request information about a specific location within the geographic coordinate system, and receive a message with the corresponding three-dimensional coordinates.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Utilizing a plurality of images to generate a three-dimensional model.
- Registering the 3D model to a geographic coordinate system.
- Merging multiple registered 3D models to create a merged 3D model.
- Sending specific location information to a client device based on requests.
- Providing three-dimensional coordinates for points in the merged 3D model subset.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology could be used in various industries such as:
- Urban planning and development.
- Environmental monitoring.
- Augmented reality applications.
- Geographic information systems (GIS).
- Virtual tours and simulations.
- Problems Solved:**
- Efficient creation of three-dimensional models from images.
- Accurate registration of models to geographic coordinates.
- Seamless merging of multiple 3D models.
- Precise location-based information delivery.
- Benefits:**
- Enhanced visualization capabilities.
- Improved spatial data accuracy.
- Streamlined data sharing and communication.
- Customized location-based services.
- Enhanced user experience in various applications.
- Commercial Applications:**
- Title: Geographic Coordinate System Integration for Enhanced Visualization
- This technology can be utilized in industries such as urban planning, architecture, real estate, and tourism for creating interactive and accurate 3D models linked to geographic coordinates. The market implications include improved decision-making, enhanced user engagement, and customized location-based services.
- Questions about Geographic Coordinate System Integration for Enhanced Visualization:**
1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of spatial data representation? 2. What are the potential challenges in merging multiple 3D models for different applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
a plurality of images is obtained, whether as separate images or part of a video. the plurality of images is used to generate a three-dimensional (3d) model of the imagery. the 3d model is registered to a geographic coordinate system as a first registered 3d model. the first registered 3d model is merged with a second registered 3d model to generate a merged 3d model. a request including a value corresponding to a location within the geographic coordinate system that includes at least a portion of the merged 3d model is received from a client device. a message identifying at least a subset of points in the portion of the merged 3d model is sent to the client device, each point in the subset having a three-dimensional coordinate.
