    Abstract: A method for co-registering terrain data and image data includes receiving terrain data and image data. The method also includes determining a position of a light source based upon the image data. The method also includes creating a hillshade representation of the terrain data based upon the terrain data and the position of the light source. The method also includes identifying a portion of the hillshade representation and a portion of the image data that correspond to one another. The method also includes comparing the portion of the hillshade representation and the portion of the image data. The method also includes determining a vector control between the portion of the hillshade representation and the portion of the image data based upon the comparison. The method also includes applying the vector control to the image data to produce updated image data.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for simulating spectral representation of a region of interest is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining a physical characteristic of a geospatial portion of the region of interest, associating the determined physical characteristic with a material of a spectral library, the spectral library having at least one spectral definition material, associating the spectral definition of the material with the geospatial portion of the region of interest, wherein the material is at least partially representative of the geospatial section of the region of interest, and generating the simulated spectral representation of the region of interest at least in part from at least the associated spectral definition of the at least one material.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for forming a model of a structure. Input data comprising a set of values for a set of attributes is received. The set of values for the set of attributes is matched to a number of texture decks in a plurality of texture decks. A texture deck in the plurality of texture decks is associated with a set of assigned attributes. Each assigned attribute in the set of assigned attributes is assigned at least one assigned value. A texture deck from the number of texture decks is selected as a final texture deck for use in forming the model of the structure.

    Abstract: A method for registering existing vector data associated with a first image of a location to a second image of the location is provided. Typically the images are separated by an increment of time. The method is implemented by at least one computing device including at least one processor in communication with a memory. The method includes receiving, by the at least one computing device, the existing vector data associated with the first image of the location, receiving, by the at least one computing device, a plurality of controls for registering the first image to the second image, applying, by the at least one computing device, the plurality of controls to the existing vector data to generate updated vector data, and storing, in the memory, the updated vector data associated with the second image.

    Abstract: An example method includes determining first classification rule(s) based on first data that classifies pixel groups of first reference image(s) as types of objects. The first reference image(s) are captured by a first sensor. The method further includes determining second classification rule(s) based on second data that classifies pixel groups of second reference image(s) as types of objects. The second reference image(s) are captured by a second sensor. The method includes classifying, as respective first objects, pixel group(s) of a first image of a scene based on the first classification rule(s). The method includes classifying, as respective second objects, pixel group(s) of a second image of the scene based on the second classification rule(s). The method further includes determining whether a change occurred in the scene based on the object classification of the first image(s) and the second image(s).

    Abstract: A method of identifying a target material in a spectral image includes acquiring a spectral image of a scene. The method also includes performing image segmentation to partition the spectral image into a plurality of segments. The method includes accessing a database of spectral models of a plurality of materials to determine a material whose spectral model is most similar to the spectral data for the segment, a difference between the spectral model of the material and the spectral data for the segment including measurable reflectance or radiance at characteristic frequencies or wavelengths. The method also includes analyzing a database of spectral data for a plurality of target materials to identify a target material whose spectral data also has measurable reflectance or radiance at the characteristic frequencies or wavelengths. And the method includes outputting an identifier of the target material for display with the spectral image.
