1. A computer system for capturing and combining media data and geodata, comprising:
- a media data capture module configured to capture media data at a plurality of geographic locations along a path in a geographic area, and to store the media data in a media data stream;
a geodata capture module configured to capture geodata identifying each of the plurality of geographic locations along the path at which the media data was captured with a longitude value and a latitude value; and
a multiplexing module for interleaving the media data and the geodata as respective one or more media objects and one or more geodata objects into a composite file, wherein the composite file includes a header describing contents of the composite file, the header including identifying objects that identify the one or more media objects including the media data, and the one or more geodata objects including the geodata, and a body including the one or more media objects and the one or more geodata objects, wherein each of the geodata objects includes a stream number identifier and a media object identifier identifying a corresponding media object to which the respective geodata object relates;
wherein the header includes parsing information to describe how to parse the body as a streaming file.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for capturing and combining media data and geodata into a composite file. The system may include a media data capture module configured to capture media data at a plurality of geographic locations along a path in a geographic area, and to store the media data in a media data stream. The system may further include a geodata capture module configured to capture geodata indicating the geographic locations along the path at which the media data was captured. The system may also include a multiplexing module for interleaving the media data and the geodata into a composite file.

10. A computing device configured to store media data and geodata in a composite file structure in non-volatile memory, the composite file structure comprising:
-
a body including; one or more media objects including media data captured at a plurality of geographic locations along a path in a geographic area, and one or more geodata objects including geodata identifying each of the plurality of geographic locations with a latitude value and a longitude value, each of the one or more geodata objects corresponding to the one or more media objects, wherein the media data objects and the geodata objects are interleaved in the body of the composite file structure; and a header describing contents of the composite file and including objects identifying the one or more media objects and the one or more geodata objects, wherein each of the geodata objects includes a stream number identifier and a media object identifier identifying a corresponding media object to which the respective geodata object relates; wherein the header includes parsing information to describe how to parse the body as a streaming file. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
