Patent Images

1. A system for determining world coordinates of a point in 3D space whose projection is common to at least three images captured by one or more image capture devices from at least three separate locations, comprising:

  • memory for storing program instructions;

    at least one processor in communication with the memory wherein the processor is configured by the program instructions to;

    receive world coordinates for each of the at least three separate locations;

    determine translational and rotational geometry of each of the one or more image capture devices with respect to each other based on the at least three images;

    determine local geometry of the point in 3D space; and

    determine world coordinates of the point in 3D space using trilateration based on the world coordinates for each of the at least three separate locations and the local geometry of the point in 3D space, and translational and rotational geometry of each of the one or more image capture devices with respect to each other.
