  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEVELOPING HIGH RESOLUTION DATABASES FROM LOW RESOLUTION DATABASES
    Publication number: 20090144311
    Abstract: A method (10) and system (200) for generating a high resolution database from low resolution databases introduces (12) a low resolution database and selects a desired area, classifies (16) portions of the desired area and geographically locates and generates (20) a new desired area based on a higher resolution setting than is found on the low resolution database. The method can further incorporate (22) the portions of the desired area that were geographically located in the new desired area and replaces (24) the portions of the desired area that were geographically located with a higher resolution object. The method can define (14) the low resolution database and identify (18) the higher resolution setting. The method can also save (26) a composite resolution database. The method can use an aerial image and its pixilation to create a higher resolution image by interpolation to form a higher resolution image.
