Abstract

A method for providing mapping, data management and analysis. Creation of a map is initiated with a desired Gaussian aggregation and desired color map parameters. Data is loaded to be utilized in the map. The data is rasterized, then converted to a certain scale. A convolution operation is performed on the data. The convolution results are applied to a color ramp, and the map is created based on the color ramp and the convolution results.

Claims

1. A method for providing mapping, data management and analysis, comprising:

initiating creation of a map with a desired Gaussian aggregation and desired color map parameters;

loading data to be utilized in the map;

rasterizing the data;

converting the data to a certain scale;

performing a convolution operation on the data;

applying convolution results to a color ramp; and

creating the map based on the color ramp and the convolution results.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising analyzing the data using:

addition/integration;

subtraction;

multiplication;

or

a linear correlation;

or

any combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising delivering the map through a Web browser.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the map is dynamically re-created as users zoom in and out or as temporal data feeds change.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data comprises user-generated vector data.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

receiving a request from the user to pan the map; and

providing an updated map to the user including at least some of the image from the buffer.
