1. A method comprising:
identifying terrestrial source image data generated using a plurality of client devices;
identifying aerial based image data that is generated from an orthogonal perspective relative to the terrestrial source image data;
generating enhanced terrestrial source image data by correlating points of the terrestrial source image data and the aerial based image data; and
generating a three-dimensional map from the enhanced terrestrial source image data, the 3D map comprising stitched portions of enhanced terrestrial source image data sets from different client devices of the plurality of client devices, the stitched portions of the enhanced terrestrial source image data sets projected on the 3D map with colors or shading corresponding to the different client devices.
