  • Publication number: 20170289525
    Abstract: A personal 3D photographic and 3D video capture system includes multiple cameras separated in space using a rigid structure; a wired or wireless method to control the image or video acquisition for all cameras; a processing unit; a wired or wireless method to download the imagery and video to the processing unit; software to accurately align the imagery and video frames in space and time, combine the imagery and video into standard 3D formats and save the imagery and video into a file for later viewing.

  • Patent number: 8239175
    Abstract: A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model data storage device, and a processor cooperating with the geospatial model data storage device for merging first and second geospatial data sets for corresponding first and second geospatial regions. The processor may be for generating seam-smoothed geospatial data for a corresponding selected geospatial region between adjacent portions of the first and second geospatial regions by applying Poisson's equation to data from at least one of the first and second geospatial data sets for the selected geospatial region using boundary conditions based upon data along corresponding interfaces between the selected geospatial region and adjacent portions of the first and second geospatial regions.

  • Publication number: 20120179432
    Abstract: A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model data storage device and a processor cooperating with the geospatial model data storage device for inpainting seam-smoothed, void-fill data into a void in a geospatial data set for a geospatial region. The processor may select raw void-fill data from the geospatial data set, and generate the seam-smoothed, void-fill data by applying Poisson's equation to the raw void-fill data using boundary conditions based upon data along a corresponding interface between the void region and adjacent portions of the geospatial region.
