Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a relative position of a first aerial vehicle and at least one second aerial vehicle to each other. The method comprises receiving first image data of a first camera system attached to the first aerial vehicle and second image data of a second camera system attached to the second aerial vehicle. Further, the method provides for determining the relative position using a geometric relation of the first and the second image data.
Claims11
A method for determining a relative position of a first aerial vehicle and at least one second aerial vehicle to each other, the method comprising:
- receiving first image data of a first camera system attached to the first aerial vehicle and second image data of a second camera system attached to the second aerial vehicle;
- determining a geometric relation of the first and the second image data;
- and
- determining the relative position using the geometric relation of the first and the second image data.
An apparatus for determining a relative position of a first aerial vehicle and at least one second aerial vehicle to each other, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one interface configured to receive first image data from a first camera system attached to the first aerial vehicle and second image data from a second camera system attached to the second aerial vehicle;
- and
- a data processing circuitry configured to
- determine a geometric relation of the first and the second image data;
- and
- determine the relative position using the geometric relation of the first and the second image data.
