20130101214 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING SOURCE IMAGE DATA TO TILE DATA - System and method for converting source image data to tile data. | 04-25-2013 |
20130101215 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORING AND RETRIEVING TILED IMAGE DATA - System and method for storing and retrieving tiled image data. | 04-25-2013 |
20130101235 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING TILE SIZE FOR A MAP VIEW - System and method for determining the tile size for a particular virtualized map view. | 04-25-2013 |
20140093186 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING SOURCE IMAGE DATA TO TILE DATA - System and method for converting source image data to tile data including (a) selecting a source image set; (b) computing a scaling value for the source image set; (c) establishing tile set geographic bounds of a tile set that is created based on the scaling value; (d) converting the tile set geographic bounds to discrete tile bounds; (e) for each source image (i) determining source image geographic bounds; (ii) if there is an intersection between the source image geographic bounds and the tile set geographic bounds, (1) extracting image data from the source image at the intersection; (2) scaling the image data based on a pre-selected scale; (3) storing the scaled image data to a tile storage mechanism; and (f) repeating steps (a) through (e) for each of the source image sets. | 04-03-2014 |
20140101207 | System and Method for Storing a Dataset of Image Tiles - System and method for storing a dataset of image tiles. Method includes determining a number of zoom levels, accessing a cluster file that includes a subset of the zoom levels, and accessing the image tiles. For each of the image tiles, a cluster name is computed. For each of the image tiles, if the cluster file has a name that matches the computed cluster name, an image tile pointer is stored in a fixed length index, and the image tile associated with the computed cluster name is stored. For each of the image tiles, if the cluster file name does not match the computed cluster name, another subset of the zoom levels is computed, a new cluster file is created, an image tile pointer is created and stored, and the image tile is stored associated with the computed cluster name in the new cluster file according to the image tile pointer. | 04-10-2014 |
20140112587 | System and Method for Encoding Standard-Formatted Images with Information - System and method for encoding standard-formatted images with information including, but not limited to, geospatial information. This information, possibly in mark-up language format, can be quickly accessed and used to modify the image to which it is appended, or it can be ignored because the image itself remains unchanged. | 04-24-2014 |
20140280676 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE SPATIO-TEMPORAL STREAMING DATA - System and method for providing a probabilistic order of tiles relative to a current section of a video that a user is viewing. A cache implementation uses this ordering to decide what tiles to evict from the cache, i.e. which tiles will probably not be accessed within a particular timeframe, but not when to evict (this is up to the cache implementation). A cache implementation can also use the prioritized list of the present embodiment to pre-fetch tiles. | 09-18-2014 |
