SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AN ELEVATION LINE FROM A RASTER IMAGE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an input including a start point and an end point on a raster image;
generating a line of interest on the raster image connecting the start point and the end point;
determining available data points on the raster image that intersect with the line of interest;
generating a first query to retrieve an elevation line from a database, wherein the elevation line is generated on the basis of the determined available data points and is optimized on the basis of a resolution associated with a display device; and
displaying the elevation line on the display device.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving an input that includes a start point and an end point on a raster image. The method further includes generating a line of interest on the raster image that connects the start point and the end point. The method further includes determining available data points on the raster image that intersect with the generated line of interest. The method further includes generating a first query to retrieve an elevation line from a database, wherein the elevation line is generated on the basis of the determined available data points and is optimized on the basis of a resolution associated with a display device. The method further includes displaying the elevation line on the display device.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instruction, the sequences of instruction including instruction which when executed by a computer-based system for displaying an elevation line from a raster image, causes the computer-based system to perform operations, comprising:
-
receiving, by the computer based system, an input including a start point and an end point on a raster image; generating, by the computer based system, a line of interest on the raster image connecting the start point and the end point; determining, by the computer based system, available data points on the raster image that intersect with the line of interest; generating, by the computer based system, an elevation line on the basis of the determined available data points, wherein the elevation line is generated on the basis of the determined available data points, and wherein the elevation line is optimized on the basis of a resolution associated with the display device; and displaying, by the computer based system, the elevation line on the display device.
