1. A photogrammetric method for compressing and transmitting persistent aerial surveillance data of a location of interest, the method comprising: generating a textured depth model of the location of interest for persistent aerial surveillance based on initial aerial imagery of the location of interest captured from different angles circling around the location of interest; predicting aerial imagery of the location of interest based on the textured depth model of the location of interest; capturing aerial imagery of the location of interest using at least one camera, the at least one camera having a known model and known ephemeris parameters; registering at least one frame of the captured aerial imagery to the textured depth model of the location of interest; generating a difference image between a captured frame of the captured aerial imagery and a predicted frame of the predicted aerial imagery, wherein the difference image represents pixels of an independent object that are absent from the textured depth model corresponding to a changed region in time or in space; spatially compressing the difference image to generate a compressed aerial surveillance data stream; and transmitting the compressed aerial surveillance data stream.
