Geo-locating an Object from Images or Videos
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a spatial location of a target object identified from user selected points in multiple images, the method comprising:
- collecting location and orientation information of one or more image sensors when producing the images; and
estimating the spatial location of the target object based on the location and orientation information collected from the one or more image sensors.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a novel method, computer program product, and system for determining a spatial location of a target object from the selection of points in multiple images that correspond to the object location within the images. In one aspect, the method includes collecting location and orientation information of one or more image sensors producing the images; the collected location and orientation information is then used to determine the spatial location of the target object.
