  • Patent number: 11941878
    Abstract: A fully-automated computer-implemented system and method for generating a road network map from a remote sensing (RS) image in which the classification accuracy is satisfactory combines moving vehicle detection with spectral classification to overcome the limitations of each. Moving vehicle detections from an RS image are used as seeds to extract and characterize image-specific spectral roadway signatures from the same RS image. The RS image is then searched and the signatures matched against the scene to grow a road network map. The entire process can be performed using the radiance measurements of the scene without having to perform the complicated geometric and atmospheric conversions, thus improving computational efficiency, the accuracy of moving vehicle detection (location, speed, heading) and ultimately classification accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11468266
    Abstract: A machine receives a large image having large image dimensions that exceed memory threshold dimensions. The large image includes metadata. The machine adjusts an orientation and a scaling of the large image based on the metadata. The machine divides the large image into a plurality of image tiles, each image tile having tile dimensions smaller than or equal to the memory threshold dimensions. The machine provides the plurality of image tiles to an artificial neural network. The machine identifies, using the artificial neural network, at least a portion of the target in at least one image tile. The machine identifies the target in the large image based on at least the portion of the target being identified in at least one image tile.
