1. Apparatus for generating a three-dimensional model based upon two dimensional image data, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor operatively attached to a data storage device and executable computer code stored upon the data storage device and executable upon demand to cause the processor to;
receive two or more images of a subject, wherein the two or more images comprise two dimensional image data captured from disparate points on a geospatial continuum and comprise portions aligned in a dimension consistent with the continuum;
generate a two dimensional composite image of the subject comprising the aligned portions of the two or more images;
create a human readable output comprising one or more three-dimensional models of the subject, the one or more three-dimensional models comprising one or more polygon based models generated from a point cloud array based upon structures included in the two dimensional composite image of the subject and sprayed with two dimensional image data of the subject captured from disparate points along the continuum.

Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for generating a three dimensional output which includes a continuum of image data sprayed over three-dimensional models. The three-dimensional models can be representative of features captured by the image data wherein image data can be captured at multiple disparate points along another continuum. The user interface can also include multiple modalities of image data and statistical analysis of the image data.

20. A method of generating a three-dimensional model of a geographic subject area, the method comprising:
-
capturing image data of a subject with an image capture device from disparate points along a continuum;
wherein the image data comprise two or more images comprise two dimensional image data captured from disparate points on a geospatial continuum and comprise portions aligned in a dimension consistent with the continuum;generate a composite image of the subject comprising the aligned portions of the two or more images; generating with a computerized system a point cloud array based upon a structure withing the composite image; generating a three-dimensional model of an object included on the geographic area, wherein the three-dimensional model comprises one or more polygon based models generated from the point cloud array; and spraying at least a portion of the image data captured on the three dimensional model. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
