Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for real-time mapping in a movable object environment. A system for real-time mapping in a movable object environment, may include at least one movable object including a computing device, a scanning sensor electronically coupled to the computing device, and a positioning sensor electronically coupled to the computing device. The system may further include a client device in communication with the at least one movable object, the client device including a visualization application which is configured to receive point cloud data from the scanning sensor and position data from the positioning sensor, record the point cloud data and the position data to a storage location, generate a real-time visualization of the point cloud data and the position data as it is received, and display the real-time visualization using a user interface provided by the visualization application.
