1. A method for automatically correlating a plurality of spatial points on a spatial body to corresponding plurality of data points on a database body, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) selecting a group of spatial points and for each spatial point determining the relative position between the selected point and the remaining spatial points in the group;

    (b) selecting a group of data points, and for each data point determining the relative position between the selected data point and the remaining data points; and

    (c) comparing the spatial relationship for each data point and each spatial point using the relative position information to determine a match between the spatial and data points to thereby correlate the spatial points with the data points.
