Patent Images
1. A geospatial modeling system comprising:
- a display;
a geospatial database; and
a processor cooperating with said geospatial database and said display and configured to;
generate a model based upon a single optical image and a digital elevation model (DEM) and without registration of multiple optical images;
generate a time-lapsed model based upon a single time-lapsed optical image and the DEM and without registration of multiple time-lapsed optical images;
permit user selection of at least one region of interest in the time-lapsed model; and
display the model along and the at least one region of interest from the time-lapsed model.

Abstract
A geospatial modeling system includes a display, a geospatial database, and a processor. The processor generates a model based upon a single optical image and a digital elevation model (DEM), and without registration of multiple optical images. The processor also generates time-lapsed models based upon single time-lapsed optical images and the DEM, and without registration of multiple time-lapsed optical images. Regions of interest are user selected from the time-lapsed models, and are displayed along with the model.
