1. Apparatus for processing a continuum of image data, the apparatus comprising:
- a computer comprising a processor and a storage device in logical communication with the processor; and
executable software stored on the storage device and executable on demand, the software operative with the processor to cause the computer to;
transmit a request for composite image data comprising a subject, wherein the request is transmitted across a communications network comprising the Internet; and
receive digital data across the communications network based upon the transmitted request, wherein the received digital data comprises a composite image comprising multiple portions of each of the two or more images of the subject, wherein the two or more images are captured from disparate points on a first continuum and the two dimensional composite image includes a second continuum comprising the image data.

Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for generating a continuum of image data. The continuum can include image data representing a street level view of a geographic area. The image data can be captured at multiple disparate points along another continuum. Each continuum of image data can include a ribbon of data representing the geographic area. In some examples, image data can be simultaneously captured which represents multiple continuums of image data.
