1. A method for displaying data products onto a geospatial map in real-time using a computer program, comprising the steps of:

  • capturing, by a moving platform system, a raw image and positional data indicative of position and orientation of a sensor capturing the raw image using a flight plan, the flight plan having an elevation value of the ground assigned for geo-referencing the raw image prior to capture of the raw image, and geo-referencing the raw image using the positional data and the elevation value to create a geo-referenced image;

    monitoring one or more directories of one or more computer readable media for newly created data products, wherein the data product includes the geo-referenced image, and wherein the geo-referenced image is an oblique image;

    automatically reading the newly created data products;

    correlating geo-referencing information of the data products with the geospatial map of the computer program for mapping and exploitation;

    rendering information onto the geospatial map indicative of an area covered by each newly created data product; and

    geo-referencing the geo-referenced image using a ground elevation model to enhance geo-referenced accuracy of the sensor data.
