System for identifying a selected target in a geographic model and associated methods

摘要

A system is for identifying a selected target in a geographic model. The system includes a database configured to store electronically a geographic model, different target model types with respective model-type metadata associated therewith, and different unique targets with unique target metadata associated therewith. A processor cooperates with the database and determines a proposed type-match between a selected target, with selected target metadata associated therewith, and one of the plurality of different target model types stored in the database based upon the selected target metadata and the model-type metadata. The processor also generates updated selected target metadata based upon confirmation of the proposed type-match, and determines a proposed unique target-match between the selected target and one of the different unique targets based upon confirmation of the proposed type-match and based upon the updated selected target metadata and the unique target metadata.
