Abstract
An image change detecting system may include an image processor cooperating with a geospatial scene model database for generating a reference geospatial image corresponding to the collected geospatial image, and a change detector cooperating with the image processor for detecting a change between the collected geospatial image and the reference geospatial image. The geospatial scene model database may include 3D scene model data, and the collected geospatial image and the reference geospatial image may each include respective 2D image data. The collected geospatial image may have at least one geospatial collection value associated therewith, and the image processor may generate the reference geospatial image based upon synthetically positioning a virtual geospatial image sensor within a geospatial scene model based upon the at least one geospatial collection value. The at least one geospatial collection value may include at least one of a geospatial collection position, a geospatial collection orientation, and a geospatial collection field-of-view.
