Course profiling and sharing
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) course profiling, the system comprising:
- an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that captures a plurality of images while flying along a course at a first location;
a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor constructs a profile for the course based on the images captured by the UAV while flying along the course; and
a network interface that transmits the constructed course profile over a communication network to a virtual reality system at a second location, wherein the virtual reality system generates a virtual environment corresponding to the course based on the constructed course profile.

Abstract
Systems and methods for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) course profiling are provided. A plurality of images may be captured by a UAV flying along a course at a first location. A profile may be constructed for the course based on the images captured by the UAV. The constructed course profile is transmitted over a communication network to a virtual reality system at a second location. The virtual reality system may generate a virtual environment corresponding to the course based on the constructed course profile, and a second UAV at the second location may fly along the virtual course.
