Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method (200) for estimating information related to a vehicle pitch and/or roll angle. The method comprises a step of obtaining (220) a first estimate of the information related to the pitch and/or roll angle. The method is characterized by the steps of capturing (210) an image of an area covering at least a part of the horizon using a camera mounted on the airborne vehicle, and determining (240) an improved estimate of the information related to the pitch and/or roll angle based on the first estimate of the information related to the pitch and/or roll angle, and a digital elevation model.
Abstract:
A method for classifying a terrain type in an area is provided, which method comprises the steps of: obtaining a plurality of overlapping aerial images of the area; calculating at least one terrain type index for each part of each of the aerial images which lies in the area, where the at least one terrain type index represents the terrain type; determining at least one terrain type index for each part of the area based on the calculated at least one terrain type index for each part of each of the aerial images; and classifying the parts of the area for which at least one pre-determined conditions is met as containing the terrain type, wherein at least one of the at least one predetermined condition relates to a value of the determined at least one terrain type index. An associated system and computer program product are also provided.
Abstract:
Various embodiments relate to a method (700) and system for geo-referencing at least one sensor image. The method comprises the steps of: generating at least one sensor image of a first scene with at least one sensor, accessing a 3D model of the environment comprising geo-coded 3D coordinate data and related to at least one second scene, said second scene encompassing said first scene, matching the sensor image with the 3D model find a section of the 3D model where there is a match between the first and the second scenes, geo-referencing the sensor image based on the geo-coded 3D coordinate data of the found section of the 3D model, and determining a measure related to an uncertainty in the matching between the sensor image and the 3D model.
