Patent ID: 7343051

Claim:
A method of generating a virtual geospatial information system (VGIS) database, the steps comprising: a) inputting at least two images, one of said images being a base image for georegistration; b) generating at least one geoscene using at least two ground control points in a lat-long geospatial domain; c) performing georegistration of said at least one geoscene in said lat-long geospatial domain to produce a registered geoimage; and d) outputting a geoimage; whereby a pixel in said at least one geoscene is represented by: i) (x,y) coordinates in the image domain; ii) (z) coordinate in the spectral and elevation/height domains; iii) UTM representation in the geospatial domain; iv) latitude/longitude in the geospatial domain; and v) Virtual Transverse Mercator.
