Abstract:
1. A system comprising: (a) a feature-detection circuit configured to extract at least one respective perceivable feature included in each digital image of a plurality of digital images, the each digital image of the plurality of digital images includes a respective portion of a region of interest of a surface; (b) a feature-matching circuit configured to determine a substantial correspondence between (c) a data collection circuit configured to gather the determined substantial correspondences for the extracted perceivable feature included in the border region segment of the selected digital image; (d) an overlap-analysis circuit configured to generate data indicative of a border region-overlap status of the selected digital image, the data generated at least partially in response to the gathered determined substantial correspondences; (e) a list management circuit configured to add the data indicative of the determined border region-overlap status for the border region segment of the selected digital image to an omitted-coverage list; (f) an iteration control circuit configured to (g) a coverage-analysis circuit configured to identify a particular portion of the region of interest as likely not included in the plurality of digital images (hereafter “possible non-imaged portion of the region of interest”), the identifying the possible non-imaged portion of the region of interest at least partially based on the omitted-coverage list; and (h) a reporting circuit configured to output informational data indicative of the possible non-imaged portion of the region of interest.
