Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a system and method for scanning a target area, including capturing images from onboard a platform for use in producing one or more stereoscopic views. A first set of at least two image sequences of at least two images each, covering the target area or a subsection thereof is captured. As the platform continues to move forward, at least one other set of images covering the same target area or subsection thereof is captured. At least one captured image from each of at least two of the sets may be used in producing a stereoscopic view.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system for scanning a target area including capturing images for use in producing one or more stereoscopic views, said system comprising: a planning module configured to prepare data on a target area; a navigation module configured to receive navigation data; a control module configured to compare navigation data received by the navigation module with data prepared on said target area and to trigger scanning of said target area based on said comp…
