The present invention relates to a system and a method for measuring and determining the depth, offset and translation in relation to one or several features in the field of view of an image sensor equipped UAV. The UAV comprises at least an autopilot system capable of estimating rotation and translation, processing means, height measuring means and one or more imaging sensor means. Given the estimated translation provided by the autopilot system, the objective of the present invention is achieved by the following method; capturing an image, initiating a change in altitude, capturing a second image, comparing the images and the change in height provided by the sensor to produce a scale factor or depth. If depth is estimated, then calculating the scale factor from the depth, and calculating the actual translation with the resulting scale factor. |
