Abstract: A method and system comprising: generating at least one slice image by carpeting a multitude of digital images based upon a two-dimensional (2-D) reference system, each of the multitude of digital images associated with a location in the 2-D reference system and each showing a representation of an arborization and/or landmark such that digital images not showing a representation of an arborization and/or landmark are excluded; carpeting the multitude of digital images together to create a slice image; aligning the slice image with other similarly created slice images using landmark information to determine the amount of 2-D rotation and/or translation to be applied to each slice image; vectorizing the representation of the arborization on each slice image, the vectorization creating a series of segments; assigning a type to at least one of the series of segments based on a unique characteristic of arborization; and grouping related segments together.

Abstract: An arborization reconstructor comprising a slice image generator, a vectorizer, a segment typer, and an arborization grouper. The slice image generator constructs at least two slice images by carpeting digital images based upon a 2-D reference system. Each of the digital images is associated with a location in the 2-D reference system. Each of the slice images has a different z-coordinate and at least one of the digital images shows a representation of at least a part of an arborization. The vectorizer is configured to vectorize at least one representation of an arborization on at least one slice image where the vectorization creating a series of segments. The segment typer assigns a type to segments based on a unique characteristic and the arborization grouper clusters related segments that represent at least one arborization.
