A three-dimensional (3D) volumetric geo-spatial querying system. The system can include a 3D GIS. The 3D GIS can include a database of geo-spatial data configured to store geo-spatial data using, not two-dimensional, but three-dimensional coordinates. The GIS further can include at least one database operation configured to process a database query against geo-spatial data stored in the database. Notably, the database operation can accept three-dimensional coordinates as part of the database query. Importantly, the 3D GIS can include a geo-spatial data encoder configured to encode the geo-spatial data prior to storing the geo-spatial data in the database. In particular, in one aspect of the present invention, the encoder can be a helical hyperspatial code encoder, or an oct-tree encoder.

A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model data storage device containing geospatial model data including a plurality of groups of tree crown vegetation points and a display. The system may further include a processor cooperating with the geospatial model data storage device and the display for displaying a simulated tree trunk beneath a group of tree crown vegetation points, and displaying at least one level of simulated tree branches for the simulated tree trunk. Each tree branch may be positioned based upon determining a branch distal reference point beneath a cluster of tree crown vegetation points from among the group of tree crown vegetation points.

A geographic information system (GIS) may include a display, a GIS database, and a processor the processor may cooperate with the display and the GIS database to display a three-dimensional (3D) geospatial image including a plurality of spaced-apart reference markers therein. The reference markers may have different visual characteristics indicative of different relative positions within the 3D geospatial image. The processor may also associate with each reference marker selectively displayable position data. The reference markers may have different sizes and/or colors, for example.

A video surveillance system may include a geospatial model database for storing a geospatial model of a scene, at least one video surveillance camera for capturing video of a moving object within the scene, and a video surveillance display. The system may further include a video surveillance processor for georeferencing captured video of the moving object to the geospatial model, and for generating on the video surveillance display a georeferenced surveillance video comprising an insert associated with the captured video of the moving object superimposed into the scene of the geospatial model.

Systems () and methods () for efficient feature data analysis. The methods involve: determining a first number of screen pages needed to verify that each of a plurality of clusters of detected features comprises only detected features which were correctly identified during feature extraction/detection operations as being of the same feature class as a selected feature of an image; determining a second number of screen pages needed to verify that each of a plurality of singular detected features was correctly identified during the feature extraction/detection operations as being of the same feature class as the selected feature of the image; selecting one of a plurality of different validation processes based on values of the first number of screen pages and the second number of screen pages; and performing the selected validation process to verify that each of the detected features does not constitute a false positive.

Systems () and methods () for efficient spatial feature data analysis. The methods involve simultaneously generating chip images using image data defining at least a first image and video chips using video data defining at least a first video stream. Thereafter, an array is displayed which comprises grid cells in which at least a portion of the chip images is presented, at least a portion of the video chips is presented, or a portion of the chip images and a portion of the video chips are presented. Each chip image comprises a panned-only view, a zoomed-only view, or a panned-and-zoomed view of the first image including a visual representation of at least one first object of a particular type. Each of the video chips comprises a segment of the first video stream which include a visual representation of at least one second object of the particular type.
