Abstract
Disclosed is a method for finding a location of a drone operator within an area by obtaining map information of the area; detecting a first set of positions of a drone; forming a first set of probability mappings based on the respective positions of the first set of positions and the obtained map information, wherein each of the first probability mappings provides, respectively a first probability of the location of the drone operator; combining the first set of probability mappings together to obtain a combined probability mapping of the location of the drone operator; and selecting as prospective location area of the drone operator, the location area in which values of the combined probability mappings are above predetermined value.
Claims15
A method for finding a location (x, y) of a drone operator within an area (A), the method comprising:
- obtaining map information of the area;
- detecting a first set of positions (x1, y1, z1) of a drone;
- forming a first set of probability mappings based on the respective positions of the first set of positions and the obtained map information, wherein each of the first probability mappings provides, respectively a first probability of the location of the drone operator;
- combining the first set of probability mappings together to obtain a combined probability mapping of the location of the drone operator;
- and
- selecting as prospective location area (p11) of the drone operator, the location area in which values of the combined probability mappings are above predetermined value.
A system for finding prospective locations (p11) of a drone operator within an area (A), the system comprising:
- a geospatial data;
- a detection means to detect a first set of positions (x1, y1, z1) of a drone;
- a computing unit configured to
- form a first set of probability mappings based on the respective positions of the first set of positions and a map information from the geospatial data, wherein each of the first probability mappings provides, respectively a first probability of a location of the drone operator;
- combine the first set of probability mappings together to obtain a combined probability mapping of the location of the drone operator;
- and
- select as prospective locations of the drone operator, the locations in which values of the combined probability mappings are above predetermined value.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable data storage medium having stored thereon program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute steps of finding a location (x, y) of a drone operator within an area (A) by:
- obtaining map information of the area;
- detecting a first set of positions (x1, y1, z1) of a drone;
- forming a first set of probability mappings based on the respective positions of the first set of positions and the obtained map information, wherein each of the first probability mappings provides, respectively a first probability of the location of the drone operator;
- combining the first set of probability mappings together to obtain a combined probability mapping of the location of the drone operator;
- and
- selecting as prospective location area (p11) of the drone operator, the location area in which values of the combined probability mappings are above predetermined value.
