  • Patent number: 10366511
    Abstract: Method/system for determining pose of camera using another camera imaging common scene, by capturing first scene image with first camera and obtaining first camera pose by georegistering to 3D-model, extracting scene features in first image, determining 3D coordinates of extracted features by mapping to 3D model, transmitting feature descriptors and feature coordinates, capturing second scene image with second camera, extracting scene features in second image and matching with first image features, determining second camera pose using 3D scene coordinates and corresponding 2D projections in second image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 26, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 30, 2019

  • Patent number: 10204454
    Abstract: Image georegistration method and system. An imaging sensor acquires a sensor-image of a scene. Imaging parameters of the acquired sensor-image are obtained, the imaging parameters including at least the detected 3D position and orientation of the imaging sensor when acquiring the sensor-image, as detected using a location measurement unit. A model-image of the scene is generated from a textured 3D geographic model, the model-image representing a texture-based 2D image of the scene as acquired in the 3D model using the imaging parameters. The sensor-image and the model-image are compared and the discrepancies between them determined. An updated 3D position and orientation of the imaging sensor is determined in accordance with the discrepancies. The updated position and orientation may be used to display supplementary content overlaid on the sensor-image in relation to a selected location on the sensor-image, or for determining the geographic location coordinates of a scene element.
