Patent ID: 8121353

Claim:
An apparatus for mapping information, comprising: an information input unit to provide image information and position-view information of a specified area; a three-dimensional model database to store three-dimensional model data of a structure within the specified area and to generate a two-dimensional image from the three-dimensional model data using the position-view information; an image processing unit to compare the two-dimensional image with the image information to analyze the image information; a related information acquiring unit to acquire structure related information within the specified area with reference to the analyzed image information; and an information mapping processing unit to map the structure related information on the image information and to output a mapping result, wherein the three-dimensional model data include attribute information, wherein the image processing unit compares the two-dimensional image with the image information provided from the information input unit by dividing the specified area around the structure and mapping the attribute information of the structure per divided area, thereby analyzing the image information, and wherein the structure related information includes recognition information on Internet or information left from Internet users relating to the structure, or a main element in the structure, and the structure related information is drawn 2-dimensionally on the image information.
