    Abstract: A method, computer program product and system to generate higher resolution geospatial images is provided. A processor receives time sequenced spatial data images at a first resolution. A processor determines from the plurality of spatial data images physics laws applicable to the spatial data images. A processor subdivides each of the plurality of spatial data images into a plurality of small spatial region images. A processor solves each of the physics laws in each of the small spatial region images. A processor trains a neural network to apply each of the physics laws to each small spatial region image by applying a regional physics law loss function. A processor determines the most applicable regional physics law based on the difference between the small spatial region image and the image predicted for that region by the physics law.

  • Publication number: 20230386199
    Abstract: An embodiment includes identifying a tree type of vegetation depicted in an image. The embodiment segments that portion of the image using edge-detection processing resulting in a contour line that defines a tree perimeter. The embodiment detects that the tree is within a buffer distance from a power line. The embodiment determines the tree's species by comparing the contour line to candidate contour lines of different tree species and calculates a diameter of the tree's crown using the contour line. The embodiment estimates the tree's height using the species and the diameter of the crown. The embodiment calculates a risk value for the tree based on a risk of contact between the power line and the tree and issues a work order to maintain the tree to prevent contact with the power line.

  • Patent number: 11080558
    Abstract: Methods and systems perform incremental learning object detection in images and/or videos without catastrophic forgetting of previously-learned object classes. A two-stage neural network object detector is trained to locate and identify objects pertaining to an additional object class by iteratively updating the two-stage neural network object detector until an overall detection accuracy criterion is met. The updating is performed so as to balance minimizing a loss of an initial ability to locate and identify objects pertaining to the previously-learned object classes and maximizing an ability to additionally locate and identify the objects pertaining to the additional object class.
