GEOSPATIAL DATA SYSTEM FOR SELECTIVELY RETRIEVING AND DISPLAYING GEOSPATIAL TEXTURE DATA IN SUCCESSIVE ADDITIVE LAYERS OF RESOLUTION AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A geospatial data system (30) may include at least one geospatial data storage device (31) containing three-dimensional (3D) geospatial structure data, and also containing geospatial texture data associated with the geospatial 3D structure data and being retrievable in successive additive layers of resolution. The system (30) may further include at least one geospatial data access device (32) comprising a display (34) and a processor (35) cooperating therewith for communicating remotely with the at least one geospatial data storage device to retrieve and display a scene on the display based upon the 3D structure data and the geospatial texture data associated therewith. The geospatial texture data may advantageously be retrieved and displayed in successive additive layers of resolution.;COPYRIGHT KIPO & WIPO 2010
