Method and apparatus of providing street view data of a real estate property
First Claim
1. A method for providing a street level image associated with a first real estate property, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving image data into a server farm comprising multiple processing devices at a single location, said image data captured by a camera with a field of view oriented at street level towards a point calculated to be a centroid of the first real estate property parcel;
(b) receiving a first request comprising into the server farm comprising multiple processing devices at a single location, wherein the first request is received across a digital communications network;
(c) determining image data captured by a camera with a field of view oriented at street level towards the point calculated to be a centroid of the first real estate property;
(d) providing user interface data, wherein the user interface data comprises;
overhead map data; and
a click through link associated with a first real estate property parcel indicated in the overhead map data, wherein the click through link initiates a second request for captured image data including the image data determined to be captured by a camera with a field of view oriented at street level towards a point calculated to be a centroid of the first real estate property parcel;
(e) receiving the second request into the server farm; and
(f) providing the captured image data including the image captured by the camera oriented at street level towards the point calculated to be the centroid of the first real estate property parcel and layer data associated with the first real estate property parcel.

Abstract
Video drive-by data provides a street level view of a neighborhood surrounding a selected geographic location. A video and data server farm incorporates a video storage server that stores video image files containing video drive-by data corresponding to a geographic location, a database server that processes a data query received from a user over the Internet corresponding to a geographic location of interest, and an image processing server. In operation, the database server identifies video image files stored in the video storage server that correspond to the geographic location of interest contained in the data query and transfers the video image files over a pre-processing network to the image processing server. The image processing server converts the video drive-by data to post-processed video data corresponding to a desired image format and transfers the post-processed video data via a post-processing network to the Internet in response to the query.
