CATEC has an artificial vision system that allows the generation of maps from aerial imagery

CATEC has the latest technologies available for its application and use in different industrial sectors. Among them, there is an artificial vision system that permits to generate high-definition maps and mosaics from aerial imagery captured by an unmanned aircraft.

It is an innovative system that only requires, in order to run the mapping, the images, and the position and attitude of the aircraft at the time of taking each image. Specifically, this technology uses advanced artificial vision techniques that permit to create automatically mosaics without checkpoints or human intervention for combining the images, which is an important advantage over other similar techniques.

This technology is being increasingly used in many areas, not only in the aerospace one but also in sectors (such as the agriculture, the security, the civil sector, etc.) that require the creation of maps by means of capturing images and aerial photographs.
