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: 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 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 includes receiving first and second images, each having a resolution that is less than or equal to a predetermined amount. The second image is captured at a different time than the first image, by a different sensor than the first image, or both. A common area is identified in both the first and second images. A probability of change in the common area between the first image and the second image is greater than a predetermined threshold. Third and fourth images are received, each having a resolution that is greater than or equal to the predetermined amount. The third and fourth images include the common area. The fourth image is captured at a different time than the third image, by a different sensor than the third image, or both. The fourth image has a total area that is less than a total area of the third image.

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.

Abstract: A method of implementing a self-calibrating database of spectral data includes receiving remotely-sensed spectral data for a geographic location. The method also includes accessing spectral data for a composition of materials at the geographic location from a database of spectral data for compositions of materials at respective geographic locations. The method includes calibrating the spectral data to match the remotely-sensed spectral data and thereby produce calibrated spectral data for the composition. The method includes validating the calibrated spectral data for the composition. And in an instance in which the calibrated spectral data for the composition is validated, the method includes replacing the spectral data with the calibrated spectral data to produce an enhanced database of spectral data for use in identifying materials or compositions of materials therefrom; and in at least one instance, outputting identifiers of the materials in the composition of materials.
