Abstract: Systems and methods for providing image data/information products to customers are provided. A data management facility generates a graphical user interface that is viewed by customers on computer systems coupled to a processor of the data management facility over a network. The graphical user interface allows a customer to search at least one of stored image data/information products or algorithms, to select at least one of the stored image data/information products or algorithms, and to select a desired geographic location. The data management facility generates a data/information product based on the selected image data/information product and the selected geographic location, and receives a request for an image data/information product, if a desired image data/information product cannot be found in the data management facility. In addition, the processor sends the generated image data/information product to the customer and bills the requestor based on the generated image data product.

Abstract: A system, method, and user interface allowing users to easily view and compare images generated from various satellite imaging sources are provided. The system includes a user interface device, a display device, a database for storing school information, and a processor. The processor includes a first component that instructs the display device to present one of the satellite images based on the stored landmark (school) information, a second component that sets a control point in a satellite image based on a signal generated by the user interface, and a third component that aligns the images based on the set control points. The user selects a control point on a common visual feature in the image that is associated with the selected landmark.
