Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for mapping in a movable object environment. A system may comprise a movable object, a payload coupled to the movable object, the payload comprising an embedded system including an embedded processor, a scanning sensor, one or more cameras, and an inertial navigation system (INS). The payload further including an online processing application, the online processing application including instructions which, when executed by the embedded processor, cause the online processing application to obtain mapping data from the scanning sensor, obtain image data from a camera of the one or more cameras, obtain positioning data from the INS, associate the mapping data with the positioning data to generate georeferenced data, downsample the georeferenced data to generate downsampled georeferenced data, and provide the downsampled georeferenced data to a client device to be visualized on the client device in real-time.
