METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR LOCATION CORRECTION BASED ON FEATURE POINT CORRESPONDENCE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for location correction of image data comprising:
- processing a first image and a second image to identify a feature that is visible in both the first image and the second image, wherein the first image has an image-to-ground correspondence between the feature in the first image and a geographic location;
transferring the image-to-ground correspondence from the first image to the second image; and
using the transferred image-to-ground correspondence to reference the feature in the second image to the geographic location.

Abstract
An approach is provided for location correction using feature point correspondences between images or image sources. The approach, for example, involves processing a first image and a second image to identify a feature that is visible in both the first image and the second image. The first image has an image-to-ground correspondence between the feature in the first image and a geographic location. The approach also involves transferring the image-to-ground correspondence from the first image to the second image. The approach further involves using the transferred image-to-ground correspondence to reference the feature in the second image to the geographic location.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, process a first image and a second image to identify a feature that is visible in both the first image and the second image, wherein the first image has an image-to-ground correspondence between the feature in the first image and a geographic location; transfer the image-to-ground correspondence from the first image to the second image; and use the transferred image-to-ground correspondence to reference the feature in the second image to the geographic location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for determining a ground control point from image data, carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
-
processing a first image and a second image to identify a feature that is visible in both the first image and the second image, wherein the first image has an image-to-ground correspondence between the feature in the first image and a geographic location; transferring the image-to-ground correspondence from the first image to the second image; and using the transferred image-to-ground correspondence to reference the feature in the second image to the geographic location. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
