Abstract

Various embodiments relate to a method (700) and system for geo-referencing at least one sensor image. The method comprises the steps of: generating at least one sensor image of a first scene with at least one sensor, accessing a 3D model of the environment comprising geo-coded 3D coordinate data and related to at least one second scene, said second scene encompassing said first scene, matching the sensor image with the 3D model find a section of the 3D model where there is a match between the first and the second scenes, geo-referencing the sensor image based on the geo-coded 3D coordinate data of the found section of the 3D model, and determining a measure related to an uncertainty in the matching between the sensor image and the 3D model.
