Abstract
A geospatial modeling system includes a geospatial model database having stored therein a colorized three-dimensional (3D) model of a geographical area, and a processor cooperating with the geospatial model database. The processor is configured to generate an estimated monochromatic image corresponding to a collected monochromatic image based upon the colorized 3D model, generate a monochromatic difference image between the estimated monochromatic image and the collected monochromatic image, and generate a colorized image corresponding to the collected monochromatic image based upon the monochromatic difference image.
