Method and apparatus of providing street view data of a comparable real estate property

摘要

Video drive-by data provides a street level view of a neighborhood surrounding a selected geographic location. A video and data server farm incorporates a video storage server that stores video image files containing video drive-by data corresponding to a geographic location, a database server that processes a data query received from a user over the Internet corresponding to a geographic location of interest, and an image processing server. In operation, the database server identifies video image files stored in the video storage server that correspond to the geographic location of interest contained in the data query and transfers the video image files over a pre-processing network to the image processing server. The image processing server converts the video drive-by data to post-processed video data corresponding to a desired image format and transfers the post-processed video data via a post-processing network to the Internet in response to the query.

主权项

1. A system for providing a street level image associated with a first real estate property comprising:
one or more data processors; and a computer-readable storage coupled to the one or more data processors having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform a method comprising: (a) receiving a first request for street level image data indicating a geographic location of a first real estate property comprising a parcel, wherein the request is received across a network; (b) identifying street level image data stored on a server corresponding to the geographic location of the first real estate property and wherein the street level image data includes a first frame of street level information stitched together with a second frame of street level image information; (c) querying a database to determine one or more real estate properties that are comparable to the first real estate property; (d) receiving a list of one or more real estate properties that are comparable based on square foot calculations and lot size to the first real estate property; and (e) providing user interface data, wherein the user interface data comprises: overhead map data; and a link generated based on the received list of one or more comparable real estate properties based on square foot calculations and lot size that when clicked initiates a second request for captured image data including image data captured by a camera oriented at street level to a second real estate property; wherein the second real estate property is comparable to the first real estate property.
