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 boundary determination system for determining boundaries of features in a digital image is provided. The boundary determination system includes a processor coupled to a memory. The processor is configured to analyze a spectral content and a spatial structure of a feature in a digital image, characterize the feature in the digital image, and distinguish the feature from immediate surroundings of the feature in the digital image.

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.
