The method employs a computer interconnected with a GPS transceiver and a distance measurement means and operatively interconnected with a digital ca mera, all provided on a moving vehicle, in order to acquire a plurality of g eographic location related images. A first geographic position is obtained f rom the GPS transceiver and a plurality of distance measurements are then re ceived before a second geographic position is taken. A photo request is gene rated after a pre-determined distance has been traveled and is transmitted t o the digital camera. The camera takes a photo based on the request and the photos, photo requests, first and second positions and distance measurements are stored for post-processing. The post-processing determines a path trave led by the vehicle using the positions and distance measurements and assigns an accurate geographic location and orientation to each photo. The method i s useful in building a database of geographically related images. |
