  • Patent number: 10157479
    Abstract: A system for broad area geospatial object recognition, identification, classification, location and quantification, comprising an image manipulation module to create synthetically-generated images to imitate and augment an existing quantity of orthorectified geospatial images; together with a deep learning module and a convolutional neural network serving as an image analysis module, to analyze a large corpus of orthorectified geospatial images, identify and demarcate a searched object of interest from within the corpus, locate and quantify the identified or classified objects from the corpus of geospatial imagery available to the system. The system reports results in a requestor's preferred format.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180189544
    Abstract: A system for simplified generation of systems for analysis of satellite images to geolocate one or more objects of interest. A plurality of training images labeled for a study object or objects with irrelevant features loaded into a preexisting feature identification subsystem causes automated generation of models for the study object. This model is used to parameterize pre-engineered machine learning elements that are running a preprogrammed machine learning protocol. Training images with the study are used to train object recognition filters. This filter is used to identify the study object in unanalyzed images. The system reports results in a requestor's preferred format.

  • Patent number: 10013774
    Abstract: A system for automated geospatial image analysis comprising a deep learning model module and a convolutional neural network serving as an automated image analysis software module. The deep learning module receives a plurality of orthorectified geospatial images, pre-labeled to demarcate objects of interest, and optimized for the purpose of training the neural network of the image analysis software module. The module presents marked geospatial images and a second set of unmarked, optimized, training geospatial images to the convolutional neural network. This process may be repeated so that an image analysis software module can detect multiple object types or categories. The image analysis software module receives a plurality of orthorectified geospatial images from one or more geospatial image caches. Using multi-scale sliding window submodule, image analysis modules scan geospatial images, detect objects present and locate them on the geographical latitude-longitude system.
