A system and method of providing video drive-by data is provided to enable
a street level view of a neighborhood surrounding a selected geographic
location. The system includes a video and data server farm incorporation
at least one video storage server that stores video image files
containing video drive-by data that corresponds to a geographic location,
a database server that processes a data query received from a user over
the Internet that corresponds to a geographic location of interest, and
an image processing server. In operation, the database server identifies
video image files stored in the video storage server that correspond to
the geographic location of interest contained in the data query, and
transfers the video image files over a pre-processing network to the
image processing server. The image processing server converts the video
drive-by data to post processed video data corresponding to a desired
image format, and transfers the post processed video data via
post-processing network to the Internet response to the query.
