Patent ID: 11887273
Assignee: AERIAL SPHERE, LLC
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method of deploying an interface for utilizing georectified
aerial spherical imagery, the method comprising:
send data for a georectified spherical image from a server to a computer to display on the computer the georectified spherical image, wherein the georectified spherical image is created with a warping process comprising a nonlinear warp from a reference geodetic coordinate system to pan and tilt coordinates in the spherical image;
receive a signal from the computer at the server in response to the user selecting a point in the georectified spherical image using the computer, wherein the signal includes the location of the point in the georectified spherical image;
perform a reverse warp process to determine a true geo location of the selected point, wherein the server is further programmed to create a vector by connecting a center of the georectified spherical image with the point; and
display at the computer using the deployment interface the true geo location of the point on a reference map in response to the server sending data of the reference map and the true geo location of the point to the computer.
