A change detection device may include a variational autoencoder (VAE) configured to encode image data to generate a latent vector, and decode the latent vector to generate new image data. The change detection device may further include a controller configured to select a deep learning model from different deep learning models based upon the new image data and a game theory reward matrix, and process the new image data using the selected deep learning model to detect changes therein.

Change detection device and related methods

A system may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to obtain geospatially registered first and second interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) images of a geographic area having respective first and second actual grazing angles with a difference therebetween, and convert the first IFSAR image to a modified first IFSAR image having a modified first grazing angle based upon known terrain elevation data for the geographic area. The modified first grazing angle may be closer to the second actual grazing angle than the first actual grazing angle. The processor may further recover updated terrain elevation data for the geographic area based upon the modified first IFSAR image and the second IFSAR image.

System using a priori terrain height data for interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) phase disambiguation and related methods

An artificial intelligence (AI) system for geospatial height estimation may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to store a plurality of labeled predicted electro-optic (EO) image classified objects having respective elevation values associated therewith in a semantic label database, and train a model using trained EO imagery and the semantic label database. The processor may further estimate height values within new EO imagery for a geographic area based upon the trained model, and generate an estimated height map for the geographic area from the estimated height values and output the estimated height map on a display.

Artificial intelligence (AI) system and methods for generating estimated height maps from electro-optic imagery

An artificial intelligence (AI) system for generating a digital surface model (DSM) may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to determine an estimated height map from electro-optic (EO) imagery of a geographic area using artificial intelligence. The processor may further generate cost coefficients for a three-dimensional (3D) cost cube based upon stereo-geographic image data and height value seeding using the estimated height map, and generate a DSM for the geographic area based upon the 3D cost cube and outputting the DSM to a display.

Artificial intelligence (AI) system using height seed initialization for extraction of digital elevation models (DEMs) and related methods

A system may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to obtain geospatial image data from a plurality of different types of sensors and generate a three-dimensional (3D) geospatial model therefrom. The processor may further determine a reference image within the 3D geospatial model based upon synthetically positioning an image sensor within the 3D geospatial model, and perform change detection between a collected image and the reference image based upon semantic change detection using deep learning.
