A system and method for describing local area geo-reference features and landmarks
in providing high resolution asset location information. Geo-image data is integrated
to a mapping application and geo-reference data to add more detailed scale levels
to the map. The geo-image data includes geo-images and its features to provide
more detailed references to the asset and support the larger references of the
geo-reference data. To describe a geo-reference landmark, an original landmark
representation is selected with a center point and a radius. The asset location
points located at the original landmark representation are compiled along with
the asset location points generated by events occurring at the landmark to create
a point set. The point set replaces the original landmark representation when a
prescribed number of points is reached. The asset location points that are within
a specified distance from any of the points in the point set are added to the point
set to complete the landmark representation. The geo-image data and landmark representation
data are combined to provide high resolution asset location information.
