ROAD TRAFFIC SIMULATION OR NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND MAP BY AIR, SPACE AND SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS

摘要

PURPOSE: To constitute the simulation or navigation system in such a manner that destinations, objects, survey, etc., are precisely and distinctly expressed, changes are made for the mere conventional maps and the precise check of the present position, progression, time and distance by position check with the satellites are obtd. by using satellite photographs, air photographs, digital photographs and maps alone or in combination. ;CONSTITUTION: The satellite photographs, the air photographs, their digital photographs and the conventional maps are simulated. The progressing directions are shown by arrows on these maps and simultaneously, the specified distances around the marks are shown by contour parts, for example, circles, vignetting, etc., and the prediction of the time and distance that can be attained is made possible. The objects and destinations are inputted and navigation toward the input points is possible. The maps are formed by superposing the respective photographs and the maps by printing transparent sheets with the maps. The maps are formed by digitalizing the same.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1996,JPO
