US 11,776,140 B2 · Computer vision systems and methods for automatic alignment of parcels with geotagged aerial imagery

Abstract

Computer vision systems and methods for automatic parcel alignment are provided. The system receives a geotagged aerial image, parcel information, and semantic information where each of the parcel and semantic information are overlaid on the geotagged aerial image. The system cleans the parcel information and the semantic information. The system optimizes the parcel information by grouping geo-registered parcels present in the geotagged aerial image into a plurality of islands and generating a plurality of parcel alignment solutions for each island of the plurality of islands. The system refines the plurality of parcel alignment solutions for each island and regularizes each island. The system generates a composite parcel alignment solution based on the refined plurality of parcel alignment solutions for each regularized island to align the geo-registered parcels of each regularized island with the geotagged aerial image.
