  • Method for converting a digital image into a multi-dimensional geo-referenced data structure
    Patent number: 8605951
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a computer-implemented method for converting a digital image into a multi-dimensional geo-referenced data structure. The method includes pre-processing or preparing a digital image, defining a color map comprising values for the prepared digital image, defining geometry and location values for the prepared digital image, creating a data structure by assigning to each pixel in the digital image a value, based on the closest match in the color map, and an interpolated geometry and location value, based on the geometry and location values; and transmitting the data structure to an interpretation application and creating a multi-dimensional geo-referenced data structure for interpretation.
