SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING LIVE IMAGERY ASSOCIATED WITH MAP LOCATIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices, live images of a geographical location from at least one image capture device;
processing, by the one or more computing devices, the received live images;
receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a request for map data corresponding to the geographical location;
providing, by the one or more computing devices, the requested map data;
receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a request for live imagery corresponding to the requested map data;
determining, by the one or more computing devices and based on the request for live imagery, a point of view associated with the requested live images; and
providing, by the one or more computing devices, processed live images corresponding to the determined point of view and the requested map information.

Abstract
Near real-time imagery of a given location may be provided to user upon request. Most popularly viewed geographic locations are determined, and a 360 degree image capture device is positioned at one or more of the determined locations. The image capture device may continually provide image information, which is processed, for example, to remove personal information and filter spam. Such image information may then be provided to users upon request. The image capture device continually captures multiple views of the given location, and the requesting user can select which perspective to view.
