Abstract
Systems and methods for transforming autonomous aerial vehicle sensor data between platforms are disclosed herein. An example method can include receiving, by an UAV, vehicle radar data and radar calibration data from a vehicle, as well as location information for a location of the vehicle, determining a simulated UAV at the location, establishing an orientation for a simulated radar on a bottom of the simulated UAV, determining a height for the simulated UAV to match a field of view of the simulated radar, performing a geometrical transformation to convert the vehicle radar data set into a UAV perspective, converting the vehicle radar data into a vehicle coordinate frame using the radar calibration using vehicle global positioning system (GPS) coordinates, converting the vehicle coordinate frame from a global frame into a UAV coordinate frame using UAV GPS coordinates, and converting the UAV coordinate frame into simulated radar sensor frame.
