摘要:
Embodiments determine the species of trees present in an aerial image. Tree crowns are detected in a received image, and represented as histograms of their color, texture and entropy features. Similar trees are clustered together. Using classification techniques, each cluster is assigned the closest species. The species information for each tree may be used in a rendering of the tree in geographical information systems.

System, methods and computer program product embodiments for roof generation of 3D models from ground acquired data. An embodiment includes grouping a plurality of 3D model facades and aligning each group of facades with aerial imagery. The embodiment further comprises identifying if a space between the facades is located within or outside a 3D model, generating a roof that connects plurality of facades and texturing the generated roof with the aerial imagery. In this way, when 3D data is limited to 3D model facades and lacks roof (and vertical face) information, embodiments of the invention create complete 3D models by generating a roof that connects plurality of facades and texturing the generated roof with the aerial imagery. This greatly improves user experience as 3D models closely approximate their respective real world counterparts.

The present invention relates to methods for aligning raster and vector data.In an embodiment, a raster/vector aligner receives raster data and an approximate vector of a feature within the raster data. The raster/vector aligner generates an edge signal by edge filtering the raster data along a direction of the approximate vector and a smoothness signal by smoothness filtering the raster data along a direction of the approximate vector. The raster/vector aligner combines the edge signal and the smoothness signal into a combined signal which is used to generate a translation vector or a signal weight for the feature within the raster data.
