SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE 3D MODELING DATA USING MULTIPLE CAMERAS
First Claim
1. A method using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to obtain data capture at a cell site for developing a three dimensional (3D) thereof, the method comprising:
- causing the UAV to fly a given flight path about a cell tower at the cell site;
obtaining data capture during the flight path about the cell tower, wherein the data capture comprises a plurality of photos or video subject to a plurality of constraints, wherein the plurality of photos are obtained by a plurality of cameras which are coordinated with one another; and
subsequent to the obtaining, processing the data capture to define a three dimensional (3D) model of the cell site based on one or more objects of interest in the data capture.
