  • Publication number: 20190220696
    Abstract: A method comprises accessing a plurality of images of a substantially same geographical area, each image of the plurality of images captured at a separate time from each other using a separate imaging sensor, each imaging sensor capturing information corresponding to a different spectral band. The method further comprises identifying, for the images, a set of blobs, each blob comprising a plurality of adjacent pixels, wherein each image of the plurality of images includes a blob of the set of blobs, and wherein each blob in the set of blobs has a location in each image that differs from a location of other blobs in the set of blobs. The method further comprises generating a score indicating a likelihood that the set of blobs correspond to a moving object, storing an indication that the set of blobs correspond to the moving object responsive to the generated score exceeding a threshold.

  • Patent number: 10255523
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for processing images from an aerial imaging device. A moving vehicle analysis system receives images from an aerial imaging device. The system may perform edge analysis in the images to identify a pairs of edges corresponding to a road. The system may identify pixel blobs in the images including adjacent pixels matching each other based on a pixel attribute. The system uses a machine learning model for generating an output identifying moving vehicles in the images. The system determines a count of the moving vehicles captured by the images, where each moving vehicle is associated with corresponding pixel blobs.
