Image processing of aerial imagery for energy infrastructure analysis using joint image identification
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for processing images to identify Energy Infrastructure (EI) features, the method to be carried out by at least one processor executing computer instructions, the method comprising:
- receiving a working image comprising at least one aerial image of a portion of global terrain;
applying an EI feature recognition model to the working image to identify a first EI feature at a first confidence level according to image content of the working image;
associating the first EI feature with a first EI feature type and a first location within the portion of the global terrain;
retrieving an identification of a second EI feature in the portion of the global terrain;
associating the second EI feature associated with a second EI feature type and a second location within the global terrain;
updating the identification of the first EI feature to a second confidence level based at least on the first confidence level, the identification of the second EI feature, and information on a relationship between the first EI feature and the second EI feature.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for processing images to identify Energy Infrastructure (EI) features within aerial images of global terrain is provided. The image processing method identifies information about EI features by applying an EI feature recognition model to aerial images of global terrain. The EI feature recognition model identifies the EI feature information according to image content of the aerial image. The method further provides updates to the identification of the EI feature information according to relationships between identified EI features.
