Abstract
Herein is disclosed an image location iteration system comprising one or more processors configured to receive from one or more unmanned aerial vehicles a plurality of images and corresponding detected positions; determine an alignment of the plurality of images according to one or more image features; calculate a first set of measured locations for the plurality of images according to the alignment and the detected positions; and calculate a second set of measured locations the plurality of images according to the alignment and a first subset of the detected positions.

An image location iteration system comprising one or more processors configured to:
- receive from one or more unmanned aerial vehicles a plurality of images and corresponding detected positions;
- determine an alignment of the plurality of images according to one or more image features;
- calculate a first set of measured locations for the plurality of images according to the alignment and the detected positions;
- and
- calculate a second set of measured locations the plurality of images according to the alignment and a first subset of the detected positions.
A method of image location iteration comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of images;
- detecting positions from which the plurality of images were obtained;
- associating the plurality of images with corresponding detected positions;
- determining an alignment of the plurality of images according to one or more image features;
- calculating a first set of measured locations for the plurality of images according to the alignment and the detected positions;
- and
- calculating a second set of measured locations the plurality of images according to the alignment and a first subset of the detected positions.
An image location iteration system comprising:
- one or more unmanned aerial vehicles comprising:
- one or more image sensors, configured to obtain at least one image;
- a position detector, configured to detect a position of the unmanned aerial vehicle when the at least one image is generated;
- an image positioning circuit, configured to associate the at least one image with a corresponding detected position;
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive from the one or more unmanned aerial vehicles a plurality of images and corresponding detected positions;
- determine an alignment of the plurality of images according to one or more image features;
- calculate a first set of measured locations for the plurality of images according to the alignment and the detected positions;
- and
- calculate a second set of measured locations the plurality of images according to the alignment and a first subset of the detected positions.
