Claim One:
1. 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) georegistering said at least one geoscene in said lat-long geospatial domain to produce a registered geoimage; and d) outputting a geoimage comprising at least one of a non-georegistered image, a registered geoimage, a geomosaic, a geogridded geoimage, a geooverlayed geoscene, a geomasked geoscene, a geoindex geoscene, a geocontour, a geocontour interval, a geo-3D-fly-through geoscene, and a geo-4D-fly-through geoscene; 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.
