Claim:
A method of processing overhead imagery, the method comprising: receiving, by an imagery processor, a first overhead image from a first image source, the first overhead image depicting a structure having an assessed value and including visual information regarding the structure, wherein the first image source includes a satellite; receiving, by the imagery processor, a second overhead image from a second image source, the second overhead image depicting the structure and including non-visual information regarding the structure, wherein the second image source includes an unmanned aircraft that is dispatched to an area in which the structure is located; detecting, by an image analyzer, whether the structure has structural damage using the visual information and the non-visual information, wherein the detecting includes ascertaining the structural damage by comparing historical information with present information and deriving a difference that provides an indication of whether structural damage has occurred to the structure; and processing, by a claims processing engine, an insurance claim for the structure based on the detecting of whether the structure has structural damage.
