Abstract

In an embodiment of the present invention, imagery of a geographic area is received from an image capture system. The imagery includes an obscurity impeding visibility. A geographic region within the geographic area is determined corresponding to a location of the obscurity. The image capture system is requested to capture new imagery of the geographic region at a time determined based on information including weather patterns. The new imagery of the geographic region is combined with the imagery of the geographic area to produce resulting imagery resolving the obscurity.
