Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computer-implemented method of providing georeferenced information regarding a location of capture of an image is provided. The method includes receiving a first image at an image-based georeferencing system, the first image comprising digital image information and identifying a cataloged second image that correlates to the first image. The method further includes automatically determining reference features common to both the second image and the first image, accessing geographic location information related to the common reference features, utilizing the geographic location information related to the common features to determine a georeferenced location of capture of the first image and providing the georeferenced location of capture for access by a user of the image-based georeferencing system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method of providing georeferenced information regarding a location of capture of an image, said method comprising: receiving a first image at an image-based georeferencing system, said first image captured by a camera and comprising a terrestrial image of a physical object and comprising digital image information and an identifiable feature; identifying a cataloged second image that correlates to said first image by determining, by s…
