Image processing system, method and apparatus for correlating position data with image data
First Claim
1. An image processing system comprising:
- a processing unit for correlating position data acquired by position acquiring means with photographic image data acquired by an image data acquiring section;
an image data storing section for storing map image data indicated by said position data; and
an outputting section for outputting the photographic image data;
wherein said position acquiring means acquires timing data for specifying a time when said position data was acquired; and
wherein said processing unit comprises a link processing means for correlating photographic date data annexed to said photographic image data and said timing data by correlating said position data with said photographic image data via link data; and
an output controlling means for outputting map image data extracted from the image data storage section based on the position data and the photographic image data correlated to the position data via the link data to said outputting section.

Abstract
A navigation system includes a processing unit for generating route data relating to a route along which a vehicle has actually traveled, from position data acquired by a position acquiring unit, an image data acquiring section for acquiring image data, a first storage section for storing the image data acquired by the image acquiring unit according to groups of respective destinations, and a second storage section for storing the route data generated by the processing unit. A link data generating section is provided for correlating the respective destinations with the respective route data via link data. An outputting unit is configured to extract a group linked to a destination by the link data in response to a manual designation of a route data stored in the second storage section or to a manual or automatic designation of a designation included in that route data and then to output the image data included in that group from the first storage section to an outputting section.

9. An image processing method comprising the steps of:
-
correlating position data acquired by a position acquiring section with photographic image data acquired by an image data acquiring section; storing map image data indicative of location of the position data in an image data storage section; acquiring timing data for specifying a time when the position data was acquired; a link processing step for correlating the position data with the photographic image data via link data so that photographic date data annexed to the photographic image data and the timing data may correspond to each other; and an outputting step for outputting the map image data extracted from the image data storage section based on the position data and the photographic image data correlated with the position data via the link data to an outputting section.
