Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
From a survey vehicle, two types of data are obtained: images from a camera and reflections from a laser. The laser data is filtered in order to detect assets. The detected assets are then processed to locate and measure the assets. Once this information has been obtained it is combined with the images captured by the camera in order to recognize the assets.
