1. A method of interactively generating geospatial image maps comprising:

  • gathering, from a plurality of geospatial sensors, raw geospatial data;

    determining, for the raw geospatial data, correction data indicative of sensor based inaccuracies in the raw geospatial data;

    staging the raw geospatial data using the correction data to produce a plurality of raw geospatial files and a plurality of geometry files each including correcting metadata;

    storing the plurality of raw geospatial files and the plurality of geometry filing in a geospatial database adapted to store geospatial image data including raw geospatial data and correcting metadata;

    generating a product specification file having a plurality of keywords indicative of the desired output image;

    assembling, from the plurality of geometry files, a resampling file set including the geometry files and the raw geospatial data files corresponding to the desired output image;

    processing, in a resampling engine, the product specification file and the resampling file set to produce the desired output image; and

    transmitting, to a user, the desired output image.
