Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for navigation of an aerial vehicle. The method comprises providing a sensor image from an aerial vehicle sensor. The method also comprises to repeatedly, until at least one predetermined criterion is reached, perform the step of setting input data, where the input data comprises information related to pitch angle, roll angle, yaw angle and three-dimensional position of the aerial vehicle, the step of providing a two-dimensional image from a database based on the input data, where the database comprises three-dimensional geo-referenced information of the environment, and the step of comparing the sensor image and the two dimensional image from the database. The method further comprises using the input data for which the two images correspond best to each other for determining at least one of the following quantities pitch angle, roll angle, yaw angle and three-dimensional position of the aerial vehicle. The invention also relates to a system, a computer program and a computer program product.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method (1) and system for determining the position of a target. The method comprises a step of measuring (110) with a range and direction measuring device the position of at least one reference object relative to the position of the range and direction measuring device. The method further comprises a step of marking (120) the at least one reference object in a geo-referenced three-dimensional map so as to obtain a geo-referenced position of the at least one reference object. The method further comprises a step of measuring (130) with the range and direction measuring device the position of the target relative to the position of the range and direction measuring device. The method further comprises a step of calculating (150) a position of the target based on the measured position of the at least one reference object relative to the position of the range and direction measuring device, based on the measured position of the target relative to the position of the range and direction measuring device, and based on the obtained geo-referenced position of the at least one reference object.
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.
