1. A method for automated processing of image data, comprising: providing video data, the video data comprising a plurality of image frames that depict a geographic location; segmenting the video data to determine a representative image frame of a segment of the video data, wherein beginning and ending frames of the segment of video data are determined by: analyzing the video data to detect one or more geometric patterns in a given frame, and determining whether the detected one or more geometric patterns are in a neighboring frame to the given frame; with a digital processor, automatically comparing visual data representing information from the representative image frame with visual data representing information from a plurality of images of an image-based geographic information data structure, wherein the plurality of images are selected based on an overlap between positioning information associated with the segment of video data and positioning information associated with the plurality of images; based on the comparing, generating an association between the video data and a second image from the image based geographic information data structure, the second image having a geographic correlation with the video data, such that access to the video data is provided in response to a request for the second image, wherein the association comprises a link between the second image and the segment of the video data, the link being accessible with a user interface of the image-based geographic information data structure; and receiving a request for the link, and in response to the request, initiating playing of the segment of video data that includes the detected one or more geometric patterns.
