Methods and systems for providing mapping, data management, and analysis
First Claim
1. A computerized method for providing mapping, data management and analysis, comprising:
- receiving at a server a user request for creation of a map with a desired Gaussian aggregation and desired color map parameters;
loading vector geographic data at the server comprising location data, the location data comprising at least one attribute;
rasterizing the vector geographic data to create image data composed of pixels;
converting the image data to a certain scale grayscale image data;
performing a convolution operation on the grayscale image data to provide an aggregation of the data using a kernel radius wherein the kernel radius is adjusted in accordance with the desired zoom level;
applying convolution results to a color ramp;
creating the map for the location data based on the color ramp and the convolution results; and
providing the map to the user.

Abstract
A computerized method for providing mapping, data management, and analysis. A user request for creation of a map with a desired Gaussian aggregation and desired color map parameters is received. Vector geographic data is loaded at the server. The vector geographic data comprises location data, and the location data comprises an attribute. The vector geographic data is rasterized to create image data composed of pixels. The image data is converted to a certain scale grayscale image data. A convolution operation is performed on the grayscale image data to provide an aggregation of the data using a kernel radius, wherein the kernel radius is adjusted in accordance with the desired zoom level. Convolution results are applied to a color ramp; the map for the location data is created based on the color ramp and the convolution results, and the map is provided to the user.
