Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for determining and storing a length scale dimension in spatial coordinate systems. A mapping of three-dimensional (3D) grid locations (x,y,z) relative to a continuous surface of the Earth is determined. The 3D grid locations have a grid point spacing in an (x,y) space defining map view coordinates of the continuous surface independent of an elevation z. A length scale (l) is determined for each 3D location. The length scale defines a 3D distance between 3D grid locations, and also defines a structural or geometrical length scale at the 3D location relevant to a given task. Then, (x,y,z,l) information is stored for each 3D grid location. The (x,y,z,l) information defines, for each (x,y) coordinate, a z-coordinate defining an elevation of the continuous surface at the (x,y) coordinate and the local length scale at the (x,y,z) coordinate.

Abstract: An image capture system provides automated prompts for aiding a user in capturing images for use in 3D model creation.

Additionally, the system may analyze the visual content or metadata associated with an image to determine if the quality-based condition is satisfied and request user input to further identify certain image features that were identified by the system.
