GENERATING A COMPOSITE FIELD OF VIEW USING A PLURALITY OF OBLIQUE PANORAMIC IMAGES OF A GEOGRAPHIC AREA
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a composite geo-referenced panoramic field of view image of a geographic area, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- calculating, by a computer, geodetic coordinates of each of a plurality of pixels in a digital image capturing the geographic area based on a corrected amount of image distortion in each line of pixels in the plurality of pixels in the digital image;
mapping, by the computer, each of the plurality of pixels in the digital image with the calculated geodetic coordinates to a geo-referenced map corresponding to the geographic area based on the calculated geodetic coordinates of each pixel; and
generating, by the computer, the composite geo-referenced panoramic field of view image of the geographic area based on the mapping of each of the plurality of pixels in the digital image with the calculated geodetic coordinates to the geo-referenced map corresponding to the geographic area captured in the digital image.

Abstract
Generating a composite geo-referenced panoramic field of view image of a geographic area is provided. Geodetic coordinates are generated for each of a plurality of pixels in a digital image capturing the geographic area based on a corrected amount of image distortion in each line of pixels in the plurality of pixels in the digital image. Each of the plurality of pixels in the digital image with the calculated geodetic coordinates is mapped to a geo-referenced map corresponding to the geographic area based on the calculated geodetic coordinates of each pixel. The composite geo-referenced panoramic field of view image of the geographic area is generated based on the mapping of each of the plurality of pixels in the digital image with the calculated geodetic coordinates to the geo-referenced map corresponding to the geographic area captured in the digital image.
