  • Computer assisted video surveying and method thereof
    Patent number: 5073819
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is a method of using a computer to assist a land based video survey. Initially, a video recording of a control location and a survey area is produced. The control location video includes at least a view of a baseline scale. Further, camera position data associated with the control location must be noted or stored in some manner. The computer converts the baseline scale from the control location video image to a video image scale. A survey video frame image of interest is selected and is displayed. One or more points of interest on the survey video frame is identified along with a predetermined baseline point obtained from a baseline scale image view overlaid on the survey video frame. In one embodiment, this identification step is conducted manually by an operator touching a touch sensitive pad having fine grid lines corresponding to pixel points in the video frame image.
