Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for using spatial filter to reduce bundle adjustment block size, including a method comprising: assigning a plurality of feature tracks to a voxel corresponding to a region of a geographic area, the voxel having a length, a width and a height, each feature track including a geographic coordinate within the region, a first image identifier identifying a first image, a second image identifier identifying a second image, a first pixel coordinate identifying a first location of a first feature in the first image, and a second pixel coordinate identifying a second location of the first feature within the second image; determining a quality metric value of the feature tracks assigned to the voxel; and conducting bundle adjustment on a subset of the feature tracks assigned to the voxel, the subset of the feature tracks based on the quality metric value.
