Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for developing a 3D model of an environment. The method comprises steps of providing a plurality of overlapping images of the environment, each image associated of navigation data, providing distance information, said LIDAR information comprising a distance value and navigation data from a plurality of distance measurements, and developing the 3D model based on the plurality of overlapping images and the distance information. The step of developing the 3D model comprises the steps of providing the 3D model based on the plurality of overlapping images; and updating the 3D model with the distance information using an iterative process.
