1. A system for aerial image detection and classification, comprising:

  • an aerial image database storing one or more aerial images electronically received from one or more image providers; and

    a computer system in communication with the aerial image database, the computer system including an object detection pre-processing engine in electronic communication with the aerial image database, the object detection pre-processing engine detecting and classifying objects using;

    a disparity mapping generation module for automatically processing an aerial image of the one or more aerial images to generate a disparity map providing elevation information;

    a segmentation module for automatically detecting changes in different parts of the aerial image; and

    a classification module for automatically detecting and classifying objects in the aerial image by applying one or more automated detectors based on the elevation information in the disparity map and the detected changes in aerial image detected by the segmentation module.
