Abstract:
A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model data storage device and a processor. The processor may cooperate with the geospatial model data storage device for identifying a plurality of localized error regions within a geospatial model data set, calculating an overall error value for the geospatial model data set, and inpainting at least one of the localized error regions and re-calculating the overall error value, and stopping inpainting when the overall error value is below an error threshold.
Abstract:
A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial data storage device, and a processor cooperating with the geospatial data storage device for selectively inpainting data into at least one void in geospatial model data using a partial differential equation (PDE) algorithm and an exemplar algorithm.
Abstract:
A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model database and a processor. The processor may cooperate with the geospatial model database for inpainting data into at least one void in geospatial model terrain data based upon propagating contour data from outside the at least one void into the at least one void.
Abstract:
A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial database for storing geospatial data points each having respective elevations associated therewith. The system may further include a processor for data thinning the geospatial data points by selecting discriminant points therefrom. The processor may select discriminant points based upon: (a) identifying a current patch having a plurality of spaced-apart current geospatial data boundary points; (b) selecting a current discriminant point within the current patch based upon sequentially stepping through the geospatial data points therein to determine respective elevation differences relative to the current geospatial boundary points and comparing the elevation differences to a threshold range; (c) identifying a plurality of new patches, each having a plurality of spaced-apart new geospatial boundary points including the current discriminant point; and (d) iteratively repeating steps (b) and (c) for each of the new patches until no further new discriminant point is selected.
Abstract:
A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model database and a processor. The processor may cooperate with the geospatial database for identifying a building roof type defined by building roof data points as being from among a plurality of possible building roof types. This may be done based upon applying multi-directional gradient calculations to the building roof data points.
