Claim One:
1. A environmental condition detecting system to detect at least one environmental condition associated with a collected geospatial image from a geospatial image sensor carried by an airborne platform, the environmental condition detecting system comprising: a database; an image processor operable with said database to generate a reference geospatial image corresponding to the collected geospatial image; a change detector operable with said image processor to detect a change between the collected geospatial image and the reference geospatial image; and an environmental condition detector operable with said change detector to detect the at least one environmental condition associated with the collected geospatial image based upon the change between the collected geospatial image and the reference geospatial image, the at least one environmental condition comprising at least one weather condition relating to at least one of image obscuration and surface reflectivity.
