Abstract
A geospatial imaging system may include a geospatial data storage device configured to store a geospatial dataset including geospatial data points. A processor may cooperate with the geospatial data storage device to determine segments within the geospatial dataset, with each segment including neighboring geospatial data points within the geospatial dataset sharing a common geometric characteristic from among different geometric characteristics. The processor may further determine border geospatial data points of adjacent segments, compare the border geospatial data points of the adjacent segments to determine bare earth segments having respective heights below those of the border geospatial data points of adjacent segments, and classify geospatial data points within each bare earth segment as bare earth geospatial data points.
