Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a method and system for remotely determining an absolute azimuth of a target point (B) by ground means, via the creation of an image bank georeferenced in the absolute azimuth only from a first point (P 1 ) and the use of this image bank as an azimuth reference from a second point (P 2 ) having a visual environment at least in part the same as the visual environment of the first point (P 1 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Method for remotely determining an absolute azimuth of a target point (B) in which: a first series of images is acquired (S 1 ) by means of a first piece of equipment ( 1 ), comprising at least one image of a first visual environment from a first location (P 1 ), the location coordinates of which are known; the elements of said images are associated (S 2 ) with absolute azimuth values in a frame of reference centred on said first location (P 1 ); a…
