When we think about how all this comes together,
当我们思考它时, 你知道, 这些东西如何组合到一起的.
it's all about software, algorithms and math.
全是关于软件, 算法和数学.
You know, we capture this imagery but to build the 3-D models
你知道, 我们捕捉图像,但是为了构建三维模型,
we need to do geo-positioning. We need to do geo-registering of the images.
我们需要做地理定位. 我们需要做图片的地理标记.
We have to bundle adjust them. Find tie points.
我们必须收集调整他们. 找到联结点.
Extract geometry from the images.

and that's how we're going to be able to scale this out and make this reality a dream.

We think about the user interface.
我们考虑用户界面.
What does it mean to look at it from multiple perspectives?
采用多视角意味着什么?
An ortho-view, a nadir-view. How do you keep the precision of the fidelity of the imagery

I'll wrap up by showing you the --

this is a brand-new peek I haven't really shown into the lab area of Virtual Earth.
这是个全新的俯视图我还没有放入虚拟地球的实验室区域.
What we're doing is -- people like this a lot,
我们要做的是 -- 人们喜欢这个
this bird's eye imagery we work with. It's this high resolution data.
