Abstract
In some examples, a system includes a memory configured to store a first image and a second image captured by one or more cameras mounted on one or more vehicles and store locations and orientations of the one or more cameras at times when the first and second images were captured. The system also includes processing circuitry configured to identify an existing landmark in the first and second images. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine a latitude, a longitude, and an altitude of the existing landmark based on the locations and orientations of the one or more cameras at the times when the images were captured. The processing circuitry is configured to create a file including the location of the existing landmark and pixel coordinates of the existing landmark in the first and second images.
