Abstract: Computer vision systems and methods for automatic parcel alignment are provided. The system receives a geotagged aerial image, parcel information, and semantic information where each of the parcel and semantic information are overlaid on the geotagged aerial image.

The system optimizes the parcel information by grouping geo-registered parcels present in the geotagged aerial image into a plurality of islands and generating a plurality of parcel alignment solutions for each island of the plurality of islands. The system refines the plurality of parcel alignment solutions for each island and regularizes each island. The system generates a composite parcel alignment solution based on the refined plurality of parcel alignment solutions for each regularized island to align the geo-registered parcels of each regularized island with the geotagged aerial image.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods in which a surgeon can use computer-implemented deformity assessment and correction tools to create 3D models of a bone. To ensure adequate healing, a surgeon may choose to use a prefabricated bone plate, a semi-customized bone plate, or a fully-customized bone plate to hold first and second bone portions in a corrected position. To select the appropriate prefabricated bone plate, the surgeon may identify three landmark locations on the first and second bone portions corresponding to desired fixation hole locations on the bone plate. The surgeon can then use a software application to evaluate multiple bone plate designs in a library and compare the average proximity of the landmark locations to fixation hole locations on each of the bone plate designs. Then, the surgeon can determine which bone plate design best fits the patient anatomy based on his comparison.
