Abstract
Systems and methods for generating textures to be rendered in conjunction with a polygon mesh are provided. More particularly, a polygon mesh modeling a geographic area can be accessed. A plurality of source images depicting the geographic area can then be identified. The plurality of source images can be aligned to reduce projection misalignments between source images when the source images are projected to the polygon mesh. A texture can then be determined based at least in part on a weighted average of pixels in the plurality of source images corresponding to a point on the surface of the polygon mesh. Determining a texture can include removing at least one outlier pixel associated with a moving object from the weighted average.
