Abstract

A method and system for improving position information associated with a collection of images is disclosed, more in particular, a method and system for improving position information of images obtained using a camera system including at least one camera mounted on or to a vehicle. A 3D model is constructed from an overlapping region in which at least two images obtained at different positions of the vehicle among the collection of images at least partially overlap. By comparing the 3D model to an aerial image, the position of the 3D model can be updated.
