Patent ID: 8189690

Claim:
A system for synchronizing unsynchronized encoded aerial video data and separately acquired telemetry data for generation of a map containing the aerial video data, each sample of the telemetry data having an associated acquisition time, the system comprising: a telemetry parser for receiving a targeted acquisition time period and a telemetry data stream, the telemetry parser parsing the telemetry data stream to locate a targeted telemetry data, wherein the targeted telemetry data is the telemetry data temporally proximate or within the targeted acquisition time period; a video frame extraction module for accessing an encoded aerial video data stream, the video frame extraction module decoding a portion of the encoded aerial video data stream into targeted video frames, each frame having an associated video frame time, wherein the targeted video frames are temporally proximate to or within the targeted acquisition time period; a synchronization module for synchronizing the targeted telemetry data and the targeted video frames based upon the associated acquisition time and video frame time; and a filter for producing additional telemetry data so that there is telemetry data that corresponds to each video frame within the targeted acquisition time period.
