SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UNIFIED MAP ALIGNMENT AND COORDINATE TRANSFORMATION ACROSS MULTIPLE DATA FORMATS

This disclosure presents a system and method for aligning diverse map types and transforming coordinates between them. The method involves receiving a map, selecting an alignment map, and choosing an alignment method. The system then performs the alignment process, generating a transformation matrix that defines the spatial relationship between the maps. The alignment quality is evaluated, and if satisfactory, the transformation matrix is integrated into a transformation tree data structure. This tree represents spatial relationships between multiple maps, enabling complex coordinate transformations. The method supports various map types, including floor plans, satellite imagery, and geographic data, allowing for their integration into a unified spatial framework. By addressing the challenges of aligning maps from different sources and formats, this system facilitates accurate positioning, navigation, and spatial analysis across heterogeneous map environments.
