Abstract
A system may include a receiver configured to receive sensor data from one or more aerial vehicles, the sensor data including map data including sensed data related to an aerial view from one or more aerial vehicles of terrain and objects on the terrain. The system may also include a map updating processor in communication with the receiver. The map updating processor may receive the map data and identify a geographic location and/or an orientation associated with the map data. The map updating processor may also align, based at least in part on the geographic location and/or the orientation, the map data with a virtual aerial map providing an aerial view of terrain and objects on the terrain. The map updating processor may also incorporate at least a portion of the map data into the virtual aerial map and generate an updated virtual aerial map.
