Patent ID: 11080911

Abstract:
Systems and methods for creating oblique-mosaic image(s) for geographical area(s) are disclosed, including a computer system running software that when executed causes the system to create a mathematical model of a sensor of a virtual camera having an elevation greater than an elevation of a desired geographical area to be imaged, the mathematical model having an oblique-mosaic pixel map; determine surface locations for pixels included in the oblique-mosaic pixel map; select source oblique images of the surface locations of the pixels captured at an oblique angle and compass direction similar to an oblique angle and compass direction of the virtual camera; and reproject source oblique image pixels for pixels included in the oblique-mosaic pixel map such that reprojected pixels have differing sizes determined by matching projections from the virtual camera so as to present an oblique appearance, and thereby create the oblique-mosaic image of the desired geographical area.
