Patent number: 10282376Abstract: Embodiments relate to converting semi-structured spatial data. Initially, semi-structured spatial data is recursively traversed to determine a dynamically nested structure. The dynamically nested structure is translated into an application specific layer structure based on feature type grouping and display capabilities of a geographic information system (GIS) application. Next, an input symbology is determined for each feature in the semi-structured spatial data. The input symbology of each feature is analyzed to determine an application symbology for each map layer in the GIS application. A spatial database is created for the GIS application based on the application specific layer structure. The features are translated from the semi-structured spatial data into the spatial database, and the application symbology of each map layer is used to render the features in the GIS application.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: Marvin W. Roe

Patent number: 10042511Abstract: A user control is provided for use with a multidimensional dataset that allows a user to graphically set the bounds for one or more of the dimensions of data selected from the dataset. The graphical user control includes a wireframe cube representing the extent of data in the dataset and a selector box within the data cube. A user can indicate a selected perspective and orientation of the data by selecting a portion of an edge of the selector box, and a visual indication of the selected perspective and orientation is provided. The user further can select a desired portion of the data by changing a size and/or a position of the selector box within the data cube. The graphical user control further includes a visual indicator representing the fourth dimension of the dataset and one or more navigation buttons.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Marvin W Roe, Geary J Layne
