Systems and methods for processing overhead imagery
First Claim
1. A method of processing overhead imagery, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an imagery processor, a first overhead image from a first image source, the first overhead image depicting a structure having an assessed value and including visual information regarding the structure, wherein the first image source includes a satellite;
receiving, by the imagery processor, a second overhead image from a second image source, the second overhead image depicting the structure and including non-visual information regarding the structure, wherein the second image source includes an unmanned aircraft that is dispatched to an area in which the structure is located;
detecting, by an image analyzer, whether the structure has structural damage using the visual information and the non-visual information, wherein the detecting includes ascertaining the structural damage by comparing historical information with present information and deriving a difference that provides an indication of whether structural damage has occurred to the structure; and
processing, by a claims processing engine, an insurance claim for the structure based on the detecting of whether the structure has structural damage.

Abstract
Systems and methods to process overhead imagery received from overhead image sources are described herein. In one example, the method may include receiving an overhead image, detecting features on a property and deriving business information using the features. In another example, the system may include an overheard imagery module to positionally correlate images and an image analyzer to determine one or more features on a property. In a further example, the method may include receiving an overhead image, correlating the image with land maps, parsing individual properties, determining the property'"'"'s values and aggregating the values across the image to derive a risk.

7. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor of a machine, cause the machine to:
-
receive a first overhead image from a first image source, the first overhead image depicting a structure having an assessed value and including visual information regarding the structure, wherein the first image source includes a satellite; receive a second overhead image from a second image source, the second overhead image depicting the structure and including non-visual information regarding the structure, wherein the second image source includes an unmanned aircraft that is dispatched to an area in which the structure is located; detect whether the structure has structural damage using the visual information and the non-visual information, wherein detection includes ascertaining the structural damage by comparing historical information with present information and deriving a difference that provides a indication of whether structural damage has occurred to the structure; and process an insurance claim for the structure based on detection. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
a processor and memory; a first image receiver subsystem deployed in the memory and executed by the processor to receive a first overhead image from a first image source, the first overhead image depicting a structure having an assessed value and including visual information regarding the structure, wherein the first image source includes a satellite; a second image receiver subsystem deployed in the memory and executed by the processor to receive a second overhead image from a second image source, the second overhead image depicting the structure and including non-visual information regarding the structure, wherein the second image source includes an unmanned aircraft that is dispatched to an area in which the structure is located; a detecting subsystem deployed in the memory and executed by the processor to detect whether the structure has structural damage using the visual information and the non-visual information, wherein detection includes ascertaining the structural damage by comparing historical information with present information and deriving a difference that provides an indication of whether structural damage has occurred to the structure; and a processing subsystem deployed in the memory and executed by the processor to process an insurance claim for the structure based on detection. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
