    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for using aerial imagery to identify and distinguish fluid leaks from objects, structures, and shadows in aerial imagery. A method may include: receiving an aerial image of a geographic region; identifying objects within the aerial image; determining shadow areas associated with the objects within the aerial image; determining whether areas exist contiguous with the shadow areas and extending beyond the shadow areas; identifying one or more fluid leaks in response to areas existing contiguous with the shadow areas and extending beyond the shadow areas; and generating an indication of the one or more fluid leaks including one or more locations of the one or more fluid leaks.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying inclined regions are provided. In one aspect, a method is provided that includes receiving shadow data for at least one first ground object in a first region, wherein each first ground object is depicted in one overhead image of the first region, wherein the shadow data comprises a length of the respective first ground object as identified from the respective overhead image; receiving shadow data for at least one second comparable ground object in a second region, wherein each second ground object is depicted in one overhead image of the second region, wherein the shadow data comprises a length of the respective second ground object as identified from the respective overhead image; calculating a statistical measure describing the variability of the shadow lengths between objects in the first region and the second region; comparing the statistical measure to a predetermined threshold; and based on the comparison, identifying that the first region is inclined relative to the second region.

    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are configured to analyze an image of a vehicle to determine a characteristic of the vehicle, such as may be represented by or otherwise at least partially defined by the shadow cast by the vehicle. In the context of a method, information is received identifying a vehicle from a raster image and the pixel values of the raster image are evaluated to identify pixels having pixel values representative of a shadow associated with the vehicle. The method also modifies a representation of the shadow by modifying the pixel values of the pixels based upon a shape of the vehicle such that the representation of the shadow, as modified, has a shape corresponding to the shape of the vehicle. The method additionally determines a characteristic of the vehicle based upon the representation of the shadow, as modified, that is associated with the vehicle.
