1. Apparatus for processing a continuum of image data, the apparatus comprising:
- a computer server comprising a processor and a storage device; and
executable software stored on the storage device and executable on demand, the software operative with the processor to cause the server to;
capture two or more images of a subject, wherein the two or more images are captured from disparate points on a continuum;
align portions of the two or more images in a dimension consistent with the continuum; and
generate a composite image of the subject comprising the aligned portions of the two or more images, wherein the software is additionally operative to;
record positional data descriptive of a respective location of each of the two or more images; and
associate the composite image with a particular portion of the subject based upon the positional data.

Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for generating a continuum of image data. The continuum can include image data representing a street level view of a geographic area. The image data can be captured at multiple disparate points along another continuum. Each continuum of image data can include a ribbon of data representing the geographic area. In some examples, image data can be simultaneously captured which represents multiple continuums of image data.
