Patent ID: 8239175

Claim:
A geospatial modeling system comprising: a geospatial model data storage device; and a processor configured to cooperate with said geospatial model data storage device for merging first and second geospatial data sets for corresponding first and second geospatial regions, with the merging being performed without requiring registration; said processor further configured to generate a mathematical description of a corresponding selected geospatial region between adjacent portions of the first and second geospatial regions, and seam-smoothed geospatial data for the corresponding selected geospatial region based on the mathematical description by applying Poisson's equation to data from at least one of the first and second geospatial data sets for the selected geospatial region using boundary conditions based upon data along corresponding interfaces between the selected geospatial region and adjacent portions of the first and second geospatial regions.
