Abstract

A computer-implemented method for generating an image-textured digital surface model (DSM) for a geographical area of interest (21) including both buildings and terrain may include using a computer (24) to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) (40) of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest (32). The method may further include providing a collection of optical images including oblique optical images for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain (34). The computer may also be used to selectively superimpose oblique optical images from the collection of optical images onto the DEM of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest and to thereby generate the image-textured DSM (46-49) for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain (36).

Claims (7)

1. A computer-implemented method for generating an image-textured digital surface model (DSM) for a geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain, the method comprising:
generating a digital elevation model (DEM) of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest using a computer;
providing a collection of optical images including oblique optical images for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain; and selectively superimposing, using the computer, oblique optical images from the collection of optical images onto the DEM of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest and based upon respective amounts of obscuration associated with each image at a given position to thereby generate the image-textured DSM for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain.
2. The method of Claim 1 wherein generating the DEM comprises using the computer to generate continuous gridded data of elevation versus position conforming to a predetermined position grid.
3. The method of Claim 1 wherein the collection of optical images further comprises at least one nadir optical image of the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain; and wherein generating the DEM
comprises using the computer to generate the DEM based upon the at least one nadir optical image and at least one of the plurality of oblique optical images.
4. A computer system for generating an image-textured digital surface model (DSM) for a geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain and comprising:
a database for storing a collection of optical images including oblique optical images for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain; and a processor for generating a digital elevation model (DEM) of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest, and for selectively superimposing oblique optical images from the collection of optical images onto the DEM of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest based upon respective amounts of obscuration associated with each image at a given position and to thereby generate the image-textured DSM for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain.
5. The computer system of Claim 4 wherein said processor generates the DEM by generating continuous gridded data of elevation versus position conforming to a predetermined position grid.
6. The computer system of Claim 5 wherein said processor selectively superimposes the oblique optical images by:
generating a plurality of polygons corresponding to the gridded elevation versus position data for the DEM; and selectively superimposing the oblique optical images within respective polygons.
7. The computer system of Claim 4 wherein the collection of optical images further comprises at least one nadir optical image of the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain; and wherein said processor generates the DEM based upon the at least one nadir optical image and at least one of the plurality of oblique optical images.
