Overhead View Image Generation

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of generating an overhead view image of an area. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of generating a contextual multi-image based overhead view image of an area using ground map data and field of view image data. Various embodiments of the present technology can include methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media and computer programs configured to receive a plurality of images of the geographical area, determine a ground map of the geographical area, divide the ground map into a plurality of sampling points of the geographical area; and determine a color for each of the plurality of sampling points, wherein the color of each of the sampling points is determined by determining a correlation between the sampling points of the geographical area and color of the sampling points captured in at least one of the plurality of images.
