Abstract
A method of detecting a changed condition within a geographical space from a moving vehicle. Images of that geographic space are memorialized in conjunction with GPS coordinates together with its GPS coordinates. The same geographic space is traversed from the moving vehicle while accessing the route'"'"'s GPS coordinates. The memorialized images are played back by coordinating the GPS data on a memorialized images with that of the traversed geographic space such that the memorialized images are viewed simultaneously with the geographic space being traversed. An observer traveling within the moving vehicle can compare the memorialized images with those being traversed in order to identify changed conditions.

25. A method of storing geo-referenced imagery, the method comprising:
-
providing a system, wherein the system comprises a computer processor and a database; receiving, by the computer processor, a first set of image data captured at a first rate and a first set of meta-tags associated with a field of view at a location along a travel route; and storing within the database at second rate a second set of image data and a second set of meta-tags, wherein the second rate is independent of the first rate and based in part on a distance traveled along the travel route. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A method of compressing geo-referenced imagery, the method comprising:
-
receiving, over an interface, a first set of image data captured at a first rate and a first set of meta-tags associated with a field of view at a location along a travel route; assigning, using a processor, one or more meta-tags from the first set of meta-tags to each image from the first set of image data based on geo-location data; and storing within a database at second rate a second set of image data and a second set of meta-tags sampled from the first set of image data and the first set of meta-tags, wherein the second rate is independent of the first rate and based in part on a distance traveled along the travel route. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43)
