  • Patent number: 10288438
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for route planning. The system is arranged to be mounted on a moving object. The system comprises a route planning module arranged to plan a route of the object upon request, wherein occasions of being visible from any point in the map within a shooting range during a predetermined time period is minimized. The system is characterized in that the route planning module is arranged to determine areas in the 3D map in which the object will be exposed to a potential threat during a predetermined time period based on line of sight calculations, and determining a re-planned route avoiding said potential threat areas.

  • Patent number: 9792701
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (200) and method for determining a relation between a first scene and a second scene. The method comprises the steps of generating at least one sensor image of a first scene with at least one sensor; accessing information related to at least one second scene, said second scene encompassing said first scene, and matching the sensor image with the second scene to map the sensor image onto the second scene. The step of accessing information related to the at least one second scene comprises accessing a 3D map comprising geocoded 3D coordinate data. The mapping involves associating geocoding information to a plurality of positions in the sensor image based on the coordinate data of the second scene.

  • Patent number: 9163949
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the location of a firer, furthermore a system and method for route planning (700). The system is arranged to be mounted on a moving object. The system comprises a position module (702), a firer location estimation module (704) and a route planning module (705). The position module (702) is arranged register the present position of the moving object at request and to determine the travel path of the moving object during a predetermined time period preceding the request, wherein the present position represents a target position for firing. The firer location method and the estimation module (704) is arranged to estimate the location of a firer based on the registered position and the determined travel path and based on map data (701) comprising 3D geographical coordinates data. The route planning module (705) arranged to plan a route of the object based on the determined location of the firer.
