Virtual earth rooftop overlay and bounding
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates information overlay on a map, comprising:
- a receiver component that receives a three-dimensional map image, the map image including one or more objects, the receiver component receives geo-coded information associated with at least one of the one or more objects;
a time-shift component that selects a time associated with the map image; and
a rendering component that displays the geo-coded information and the object on a map, the rendering component being capable of displaying the object at a historical time and at a future time, the object being displayed as a three-dimensional image of an object having a plurality of faces, wherein the object is displayed with the geo-coded information overlaid within a perimeter of one of the plurality of faces of the object based at least upon a displayed viewing angle.

Abstract
Provided is a single repository for capturing, connecting, sharing, and visualizing information based on a geographic location, for example. Detailed information of a structure or object information can be displayed on a rooftop or over an area of interest. The detailed information can be provided for a single structure or for each structure shown on a map area. According to an embodiment is a system that facilitates surface overlay and bounding on a map. The system can include a receiver component that receives information for an object, a boundary component that ascertains a perimeter of the object, and a rendering component that selectively displays the object information and object on a map based in part on a user perspective.

9. A method for information overlay on a map, comprising:
-
receiving a three-dimensional map image, the map image including one or more objects; receiving a plurality of images from one or more users corresponding to an object from the one or more objects; ranking the received images corresponding to the object based upon accuracy in depicting the object; receiving time-stamped geo-coded information associated with the object; displaying a historical view of the object or a geographical area associated with the object at a user specified past point in time according to the time stamped geo-coded information, the displayed historical view including at least one received image selected based on the accuracy ranking; determining a perimeter of the object; and annotating a three-dimensional image of the object on a map with geo-coded information associated with the object, the three-dimensional image of the object having at least two sides, wherein the geo-coded information is annotated within a perimeter of a side of the object based upon a displayed viewing perspective of the map. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for overlaying information on a map, comprising:
-
means for receiving a three-dimensional map image, the map image including one or more objects; means for receiving geo-coded information associated with at least one of the one or more objects; means for selecting one or more time-shifts for the map image or for an object included in the map image; means for displaying an object on a map as a three-dimensional image of the object having a plurality of faces, the object being displayed at a historical time and a future time based on the selected time-shift; means for determining a perimeter of a face of an object; and means for annotating the three-dimensional image of the object on the map with geo-coded information associated with the object, wherein the geo-coded information is annotated within a perimeter of a face of the object based upon a displayed viewing perspective of the map. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
