One embodiment can provide a computer-vision system. The computer-vision system can include one or more cameras to capture images of a scene and one or more sets of single-color light sources to illuminate the scene, with a respective set of light sources comprising multiple single-color light sources of different colors. The multiple single-color light sources within a given set can be turned on sequentially, one at a time. The cameras can capture an image of the scene each time the scene is illuminated by a respective single-color light source of a particular color.

System and method for improving image segmentation

Automatic generation of a mosaic comprising a plurality of geospatial images. An embodiment of the automatic mosaic generation may include automated source image selection that includes comparison of source images to base layer image to determine radiometric similar source images. Additionally, an embodiment of an automatic cutline generator may be provided to automatically determine a cutline when merging two images such that radiometric differences between the images along the cutline are reduced. In this regard, less perceivable outlines may be provided. Further still, an embodiment of a radiometric normalization module may be provided that may determine radiometric adjustments to source images to match certain properties of the base layer image. In some embodiments, when processing source images, the source images may be downsampled during a portion of the processing to reduce computational overhead. Additionally, some highly parallel computations may be performed by a GPU to further enhance performance.
