Abstract:
Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed for correcting errors in the geo-spatial locations of acquired image data. In one embodiment, acquired aerial or satellite image data is segmented to generate extracted boundary data. The extracted boundary data represents boundaries of features of a portion of the Earth's surface, but at incorrect geo-spatial coordinates. The extracted boundary data is matched to expected boundary data derived from ground truth data. The expected boundary data represents boundaries of the features at correct geo-spatial coordinates. Adjustment parameters are generated that represent a geo-spatial misalignment between the extracted boundary data and the expected boundary data. Metadata in a header of the acquired image data is modified to include the adjustment parameters. The adjustment parameters may be applied to the acquired image data to generate corrected image data at correct geo-spatial coordinates.
