Web-Based System and Method for Incorporating Georeferenced Imagery Into CAD Environment

摘要

In one embodiment, a method for providing access to georeferenced imagery includes receiving, by a service provider, a request for georeferenced imagery sent by a georeferenced imagery module communicating with a design application executing on a computer, receiving, by the service provider, user identification information, using the identification information to determine whether the user is entitled to the requested georeferenced imagery, if the user is determined to be entitled to the requested georeferenced imagery, providing, to the design application, access to georeferenced imagery, and debiting user credits from an account associated with the user in proportion to the amount of access provided to the design application.
