Abstract
A mapping system receives sensor data from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The mapping system further receives images from a camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The mapping system determines an altitude of the camera based on the sensor data. The mapping system calculates a footprint of the camera based on the altitude of the camera and a field of view of the camera. The mapping system constructs a localized map based on the images and the footprint of the camera.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- determining an altitude of a camera of an aerial vehicle;
- determining a field of view (FOV) of the camera;
- generating a footprint of the camera based on the altitude and the FOV;
- determining a first map based on the footprint;
- and
- overlaying the first map on a second map.
An aerial vehicle comprising:
- a camera, a processor, and a memory, the memory including instructions that when executed cause the processor to:
- determine information associated with a camera of an aerial vehicle;
- generate a footprint of the camera based on the information;
- determine a localized map based on the footprint;
- and
- overlay the localized map on a vector map.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising stored instructions that, when executed, causes at least one processor to:
- generate a footprint of a camera of an aerial vehicle based on altitude information and field of view (FOV) information associated with the camera;
- determine a localized map based on the footprint;
- and
- overlay the localized map on a vector map.
