Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device comprising: a
processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores
executable instructions that, when executed by the
processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: obtaining a
list of a plurality of known
cell sites, the
list comprising for each known
cell site of the plurality of known
cell sites a respective set of known geospatial coordinates; obtaining for each set of known geospatial coordinates, a corresponding
aerial image; applying each corresponding
aerial image to an automated process to generate a model, the model being
usable to determine whether a particular test
aerial image depicts a
cell site; obtaining from a
database an identification of an asserted
cell site, the identification of the asserted
cell site comprising a set of asserted geospatial coordinates; obtaining for the set of asserted geospatial coordinates, a test aerial image; applying the test aerial image to the model to determine whether the test aerial image depicts the asserted cell site, resulting in a determination; and outputting the determination of whether the test aerial image depicts the asserted cell site. Other embodiments are disclosed.
