Patent Images
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.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method for displaying data products onto a geospatial map in real-time using a computer program. In one version, the method includes the steps of monitoring the one or more directories of one or more computer readable media for newly created data products, automatically reading the newly created data products, correlating positional information of the data products with the geospatial map of the computer program for mapping and exploitation, and rendering information onto the geospatial map indicative of the area covered by each newly created data product.
