Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method for processing images to identify Energy Infrastructure (EI) features within aerial images of global terrain, 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 first portion of global terrain;

    applying an EI feature recognition model to the working image to identify feature-level information on a first EI feature of a first EI feature type at a first confidence level according to image content of the working image;

    receiving, from a supplemental information source, information on a second EI feature of a second EI feature type, the second EI feature located within the first portion of global terrain;

    updating the feature-level information on the first EI feature to a second confidence level based on the first confidence level and the information on the second EI feature;

    modifying, during a training mode of operation, the EI feature recognition model, based on at least one training image of the portion of global terrain and on the information on the first EI feature at the second confidence level.
