Patent ID: 8055100

Claim:
A method of confirming the accuracy of an image registration process, comprising: receiving a first image that depicts a scene area; defining a comparison area within a second predefined image that includes the scene area; obtaining from a datastore an elevation matrix that aligns with the second predefined image; obtaining a registration model that registers the first image to the second predefined image; constructing a third image from the first image and the comparison area of the second predefined image, based on the registration model and the elevation matrix wherein the constructing a third image including an operation of projecting data, pixel-by-pixel from the first image, onto the third image using the registration model, the elevation matrix; comparing the third image to the second predefined image; and wherein constructing a third image comprises: constructing the third image based on a size and shape of the comparison area; matching coordinates of the third image to coordinates of the first image based on the registration model; and for each coordinate in the third image updating data of the coordinate with corresponding data from the first image.
