| Abstract | Recent growth of the geospatial information on the web has made it possible to easily access various maps and orthoimagery. By integrating these maps and imagery, we can create intelligent images that combine the visual appeal and accuracy of imagery with the detailed attribution information often contained in diverse maps. However, accurately integrating maps and imagery from different data sources remains a challenging task. This is because spatial data obtained from various data sources may have different projections and different accuracy levels. Most of the existing algorithms only deal with vector to vector spatial data integration or require human intervention to accomplish imagery to map conflation. In this paper, we describe an information integration approach that utilizes common vector datasets as "glue" to automatically conflate imagery with street maps. We present efficient techniques to automatically extract road intersections from imagery and maps as control points. We also describe a specialized point pattern matching algorithm to align the two point sets and conflation techniques to align the imagery with maps. We show that these automatic conflation techniques can automatically and accurately align maps with images of the same area. In particular, using the approach described in this paper, our system automatically aligns a set of TIGER maps for an area in El Segundo, CA to the corresponding orthoimagery with an average error of 8.35 meters per pixel. This is a significant improvement considering that simply combining the TIGER maps with the corresponding imagery based on geographic coordinates provided by the sources results in error of 27 meters per pixel. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
