Methods and systems for modeling poor texture tunnels based on vision-lidar coupling

A system and a method are provided for feasibility evaluation of UAV Digital Twin based on Vicon motion capture system is disclosed, which establishes a mission feasibility evaluation model according to flight history data of a target UAV acquired by the UAV Digital Twin system. The mission feasibility evaluation model includes a UAV trajectory prediction module and a mission feasibility determination module. The UAV trajectory prediction module acquires real-time position and attitude information of the target UAV according to the Vicon motion capture system, and predicts target flight trajectory of the target UAV according to the real-time position and attitude information. The mission feasibility determination module compares the position difference between an end point of the target flight trajectory and preset designated mission point to evaluate feasibility of target mission of the target UAV.
