Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing wide area terrain mapping. The system comprises a digital elevation map (DEM) and mosaic generation engine (430) that processes images that are simultaneously captured by an electro-optical camera (RGB camera) (302) and a LIDAR sensor (304). The image data collected by both the camera and the LIDAR sensor are processed to create a geometrically accurate three-dimensional view of objects viewed from an aerial platform (100).
