SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING CAPTURED IMAGES
First Claim
1. An image processing system configured to process perceived images of an environment comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) including a memory storage device having stored thereon a computer model of the environment;
at least one sensor configured and disposed to capture a perceived environment including at least one of visual images of the environment and a range data to objects in the environment; and
a rendering unit (RU) configured and disposed to render the computer model of the environment forming a rendered model of the environment, wherein the image processing system compares the rendered model of the environment to the perceived environment to update the computer model of the environment.

Abstract
An image processing system configured to process perceived images of an environment includes a central processing unit (CPU) including a memory storage device having stored thereon a computer model of the environment, at least one sensor configured and disposed to capture a perceived environment including at least one of visual images of the environment and range data to objects in the environment, and a rendering unit (RU) configured and disposed to render the computer model of the environment forming a rendered model of the environment. The image processing system compares the rendered model of the environment to the perceived environment to update the computer model of the environment.

7. A system for processing images captured by a moving platform, the system comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU), said CPU being interconnected functionally via a system bus to; at least one sensor configured and disposed to capture a perceived environment including at least one of visual images of the environment and range data to objects in the environment; a rendering unit (RU); and at least one memory device thereupon stored a computer model of the environment and a set of instructions which, when executed by said CPU, causes the image processing system to; capture a perceived environment through the at least one sensor, the perceived environment including visual images and range data; render the computer model of the environment in the RU forming a rendered model of the environment; compare the rendered model of the environment with the perceived environment; and selectively update the computer model of the environment based on the perceived environment. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
