Patent number: 11727601Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of generating an overhead view image of an area. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of generating a contextual multi-image based overhead view image of an area using ground map data and field of view image data. Various embodiments of the present technology can include methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media and computer programs configured to receive a plurality of images of the geographical area, determine a ground map of the geographical area, divide the ground map into a plurality of sampling points of the geographical area; and determine a color for each of the plurality of sampling points, wherein the color of each of the sampling points is determined by determining a correlation between the sampling points of the geographical area and color of the sampling points captured in at least one of the plurality of images.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Woven Planet North America, Inc.Inventors: Clemens Marschner, Thomas Schiwietz, Wilhelm Richert, Nikolai Morin, Holger Rapp

Patent number: 11295521Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of generating a ground map. For instance, the present disclosure provides a method of determining relevant point cloud data for generating a surface topology over real-world geographical areas using sensor data, which may involve (i) receiving a first dataset from a first sensor, (ii) receiving a second dataset from a second sensor, (iii) classifying the first dataset by identifying characteristics of the first dataset that correspond to a ground surface, (iv) filtering the second dataset based on the classified first dataset, and (v) generating a ground map from the filtered second dataset.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Woven Planet North America, Inc.Inventors: Marco Caccin, Clemens Marschner, Nikolai Morin, Darko Zikic
