GEOSPATIAL MODELING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD USING MULTIPLE SOURCES OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

摘要

A geospatial modeling system may include at least one geospatial information database to store stereo-geographic image data and geographic feature data. A processor may cooperate with the geospatial information database for generating cost coefficients defining a three-dimensional (3D) cost cube using image matching operators based upon the stereo-geographic image data, adjusting the cost coefficients of the 3D cost cube based upon the geographic feature data to generate an adjusted 3D cost cube, and generating a geospatial model based upon solving the adjusted 3D cost cube, e.g., for a best cost surface. The system and method provide an integrated approach to creating a geospatial model using available data from multiple sources.
