A geospatial modeling system may include at least one geospatial information database to store stereo-geographic image data and geographic feature data. A processor may cooperate with the geospatial information database for generating cost coefficients defining a three-dimensional (3D) cost cube using image matching operators based upon the stereo-geographic image data, adjusting the cost coefficients of the 3D cost cube based upon the geographic feature data to generate an adjusted 3D cost cube, and generating a geospatial model based upon solving the adjusted 3D cost cube, e.g. for a best cost surface. The system and method provide an integrated approach to creating a geospatial model using available data from multiple sources.

Geospatial modeling system and related method using multiple sources of geographic information

Method and system for creating a fused image from an image pair. The method includes obtaining () image data defining a first image of a panchromatic image type and a second image of a multi-spectral image type. The first image has a first spatial resolution and a first spectral resolution. The second image has a second spatial resolution which is lower than the first spatial resolution and a second spectral resolution higher than the first spectral resolution. The first image and the second image are fused () to initialize a fused image having the first spatial resolution and the second spectral resolution. A point spread function and a set of spectral weights are used to determine scaling factors for scaling () radiance value of pixels defining the fused image in accordance with radiance value of pixels forming the first image and the second image.

Method and system for creating a fused image from an image pair. The method includes obtaining () image data defining a first image of a panchromatic image type and a second image of a multi-spectral image type. The first image has a first spatial resolution and a first spectral resolution. The second image has a second spatial resolution which is lower than the first spatial resolution and a second spectral resolution higher than the first spectral resolution. The first image and the second image are fused () to initialize a fused image having the first spatial resolution and the second spectral resolution. A blurring function is used () to help form the fused image.

Structured smoothing for superresolution of multispectral imagery based on registered panchromatic image

Method and system for creating a fused image from an image pair comprising a high resolution panchromatic image and lower resolution multi-spectral image. The method includes obtaining image data () defining a first image of a panchromatic image type and a second image of a multi-spectral image type. The first image has a first spatial resolution and a first spectral resolution. The second image has a second spatial resolution which is lower than the first spatial resolution and a second spectral resolution higher than the first spectral resolution. The method also includes a step () of concurrently calculating a point-spread function for down-sampling the first image to the second spatial resolution, and a set of weights for down-sampling the second image to the first spectral resolution.
