摘要 |
Systems and methods for the processing, storing, and displaying of map data are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention facilitate more efficient storage, processing, communication, and display of maps and map-related data in connection with modern computers and communications systems. While originally developed for a map-based game, the techniques disclosed herein also have practical applications to other technical fields including but not limited to image processing (e.g., partitioning of images much like maps for storage, communication, or display) and heat mapping (e.g., visualization of a geographical distribution of certain attributes). |
