Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for early access to captured images including generating and storing within a geospatial database a plurality of placeholder records having information identifying a particular captured image and including at least one geographic image boundary field containing information indicative of a real-world geographic area depicted within the image, an image file location field, and an image status field; receive a plurality of signals from one or more processing computer, at least two of the signals having the information identifying particular captured images, and second information indicative of updates indicating a change in at least one of the image location and image processing status for the image identified by the first information; and populating at least one of the image location and the image processing status of the placeholders within the geospatial database with the information indicative of updates for identified captured images.

Claims (9)

1. A computer system comprising one or more non-transitory computer readable mediums storing computer executable code that when executed by one or more servers of the computer system cause the one or more servers to:

receive a request for at least one image of a geographic area from a client application of an operator user device;

query records within a geospatial database to locate one or more records of images accessible by the geospatial database and depicting at least a portion of the geographic area;

read information within the one or more records depicting at least a portion of the geographic area to determine a status of an image within the one or more records, the status of the image indicating that the image is an in process captured image in which the image has not been fully processed; and

present at least a portion of the image to the client application of the operator user device with a status indicator indicating that the image is not fully processed.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the computer executable code is configured to cause the one or more servers to present the status indicator geospatially.

3. The computer system of claim 2 , wherein the geospatial presentation of the status indicator is depicted as a boundary overlaid on a geospatial map or display.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the status indicator of the image includes a status of at least one of color-balancing the image, quality control processing of the image, geo-referencing the image, whether processing of the image has begun.

5. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the image is a first image, and wherein the computer executable code that when executed by one or more servers of the computer system cause the one or more servers to present at least a portion of a second image to the client application of the operator user device with a status indicator indicating that the image is fully processed.
