Computer Based Automatic Go/NoGo Analysis of the Surrounding to Control Autonomous Vehicles.

Our Service: 

• Classification and automatic mapping of accessible sites and non-accessible areas in the aerial photo and as GIS data set with exact area size and land cover.
• Visualisation in an Orthophoto Map
• Automatic detection of trees with exact location and tree size
