  • Geospatial modeling system providing 3D geospatial model update based upon iterative predictive image registration and related methods
    Patent number: 11816793
    Abstract: A geospatial modeling system may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to: (a) generate a three-dimensional (3D) geospatial model including geospatial voxels based upon a plurality of geospatial images; (b) select an isolated geospatial image from among the plurality of geospatial images; (c) determine a reference geospatial image from the 3D geospatial model using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and based upon the isolated geospatial image; (d) align the isolated geospatial image and the reference geospatial image to generate a predictively registered image; (e) update the 3D geospatial model based upon the predictively registered image; and (f) iteratively repeat (b)-(e) for successive isolated geospatial images.
    Type: Grant

  • Geospatial modeling system providing 3D geospatial model update based upon predictively registered image and related methods
    Patent number: 11636649
    Abstract: A geospatial modeling system may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to generate a three-dimensional (3D) geospatial model including geospatial voxels based upon a plurality of geospatial images, obtain a newly collected geospatial image, and determine a reference geospatial image from the 3D geospatial model using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and based upon the newly collected geospatial image. The processor may further align the newly collected geospatial image and the reference geospatial image to generate a predictively registered image, and update the 3D geospatial model based upon the predictively registered image.
