Location and path-map generation data acquisition and analysis systems
First Claim
1. A device for generating location and path-map data for displaying a location and path-map, the device comprising:
- a first set of sensors for generating a plurality of first data signals with respect to an attitude of an object;
a second set of sensors for generating a plurality of second data signals with respect to the attitude of the object;
an imaging device for generating a plurality of third data signals that include a most significant feature, which is disposed in at least two images of the imaging device;
at least one processing device that is adapted to calculate a heading direction (bearing) of the device using the plurality of first data signals and the plurality of second data signals;
to calculate a distance traveled along the heading direction using the plurality of third data signals; and
to translate the calculated heading direction and calculated distance traveled into a leg or portion of a leg of a path-map for visual display on a two- or three-dimensional system.
