DISPLAYING REPRESENTATIVE IMAGES IN A VISUAL MAPPING SYSTEM
Embodiments provide systems and methods for generating a street map that includes a position identifier that identifies a location on the street map. The method and system may also generate and display a plurality of images representative of the location of the position identifier. A user may interact with a position identifier or one of several scroll icons to view images of other locations on the street map and/or to obtain driving directions between two locations.

Building elevation maps from laser data
Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to generating elevation maps. More specifically, data points may be collected by a laser moving along a roadway and used to generate an elevation map of the roadway. The collected data points may be projected onto a two dimensional or 2D grid. The grid may include a plurality of cells, each cell of the grid representing a geolocated second of the roadway. The data points of each cell may be evaluated to identify an elevation for the particular cell. For example, the data points in a particular cell may be filtered in various ways including occlusion, interpolation from neighboring cells, etc. The minimum value of the remaining data points within each cell may then be used as the elevation for the particular cell, and the elevation of a plurality of cells may be used to generate an elevation map of the roadway.
Three-dimensional map display system
A three-dimensional map is displayed in a bird's eye view with a stereoscopic effect of feature polygons by providing shading in an appropriate direction according to the gaze direction in a simulative manner. Shading wall polygons are set in addition to feature polygons in three-dimensional map data. The shading wall polygon is a virtual plate-like polygon provided vertically, for example, along a boundary of a feature polygon. When provided around the water system, the shading wall polygon is specified to be opaque on one surface viewed from the water system side and to be transparent on the opposite surface. The shading wall polygons are drawn along with the feature polygons in the process of displaying a map. The shading wall polygon is drawn in black, gray or the like only at a location where the surface specified to be opaque faces a gaze direction.

Aces guide: the unbeatable golf guidebook that elevates your game and lowers your scores
This invention pertains to a golf guidebook, either physical or electronic, that incorporates golf-related data specific to a selected golf course. The data is computationally derived from sensor information, captured by an unmanned aerial vehicle flown above the course. The guidebook provides high-resolution imagery, distance mark-ups, and elevation deltas for individual golf holes. It may also feature putting-green maps with contour lines, interactive user-input fields, and synchronization capabilities with a mobile application for performance tracking. Additional features may include reusable or replaceable pages, environmental resistance, and an inverted color scheme for enhanced visibility in direct sunlight.

IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
A method is provided for displaying physical objects. The method comprises capturing an input image of physical objects, and matching a three-dimensional model to the physical objects. The method further comprises producing a modified partial image by at least one of modifying a portion of the matched three-dimensional model, or modifying a partial image extracted from the input image using the matched three-dimensional model. The method also comprises displaying an output image including the modified partial image superimposed over the input image.
