Automated tagging for landmark identification
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for identifying landmarks in an image, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of a worksite;
analyzing the image to determine a suggested identity of a worksite feature in the image;
sending the suggested identity of the worksite feature over a communications unit;
receiving a confirmation of the suggested identity of the worksite feature to form a confirmed identity; and
storing the confirmed identity and a location associated with the worksite feature in a database, wherein analyzing the image to determine the suggested identity of the worksite feature in the image comprises obtaining a number of worksite images, identifying a common feature in at least two of the number of worksite images, and identifying a relative location of the common feature identified in the at least two of the number of worksite images.

Abstract
The different illustrative embodiments provide a method for identifying landmarks in an image. An image of a worksite is received. The image is analyzed to determine a suggested identity of a worksite feature in the image. The suggested identity of the worksite feature is sent over a communications unit. A confirmation of the suggested identity of the worksite feature is received to form a confirmed identity. The confirmed identity and a number of attributes associated with the confirmed identity is stored in a database.

9. A system for identifying landmarks in an image, the system comprising:
-
a worksite features database; a user interface configured to interact with a user; and a data processing system configured to execute a data classification process to analyze an image to determine a suggested identity of a worksite feature in the image using the worksite features database, send the suggested identity of the worksite feature over a communications unit, receive a confirmation of the suggested identity of the worksite feature to form a confirmed identity, and store the confirmed identity and a number of attributes associated with the confirmed identity in the worksite features database, wherein the data classification process to analyze the image to determine the suggested identity of the worksite feature in the image comprises obtain a number of worksite images, identify a common feature in at least two of the number of worksite images, and identify a relative location of the common feature identified in the at least two of the number of worksite images. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for identifying worksite features by a system comprising a data processor and memory, the method comprising:
-
the system obtaining a number of worksite images; the system identifying a common feature in at least two of the number of worksite images; the system identifying a relative location of the common feature identified; the system applying scaling information to a worksite map to provide distance information for the worksite and a size of the common feature identified, wherein the number of worksite images are compiled by an image sequencer to generate a three dimensional model of the worksite, and wherein the image sequencer extracts a three dimensional object from the three dimensional model as the common feature to identify a relative location of the common feature. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
