  • Patent number: 9105128
    Abstract: Described are systems, methods, computer programs, and user interfaces for image location, acquisition, analysis, and data correlation that uses human-in-the-loop processing, Human Intelligence Tasks (HIT), and/or or automated image processing. Results obtained using image analysis are correlated to non-spatial information useful for commerce and trade. For example, images of regions of interest of the earth are used to count items (e.g., cars in a store parking lot to predict store revenues), detect events (e.g., unloading of a container ship, or evaluating the completion of a construction project), or quantify items (e.g., the water level in a reservoir, the area of a farming plot).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2015
    Assignee: Skybox Imaging, Inc.
    Inventors: M. Dirk Robinson, Mark Robertson, Hadar Isaac, Oliver Guinan, Thomas Joseph Melendez, Daniel Berkenstock, Julian Mann
