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, with the single optical image including at least one initial region of interest;
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 with the at least one initial region of interest and the at least one region of interest from the time-lapsed model to provide situational awareness.

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.

15. A method for operating a geospatial modeling system comprising a display and a processor cooperating with the display, the method comprising:
-
operating the processor to generate a model based upon a single optical image and a digital elevation model (DEM) and without registration of multiple optical images, with the single optical image including at least one initial region of interest; 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 with the at least one initial region of interest and the at least one region of interest from the time-lapsed model on the display to provide situational awareness. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
