Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for processing images from an aerial imaging device. An image of an object of interest is received from the aerial imaging device. A parameter vector is extracted from the image. Image analysis is performed on the image to determine a height and a width of the object of interest. Idealized images of the object of interest are generated using the extracted parameter vector, the determined height, and the determined width of the object of interest. Each idealized image corresponds to a distinct filled volume of the object of interest. The received image of the object of interest is matched to each idealized image to determine a filled volume of the object of interest. Information corresponding to the determined filled volume of the object of interest is transmitted to a user device.
