Abstract

Systems and methods include tracking a current location of an unmanned device on a local map, receiving image data from an imaging sensor associated with the unmanned device, detecting a first remote device and outputting associated first detected object information, determining a first location of the detected first remote device on the local map, receiving first location information associated with a first remote coordinate system of the first remote device, the first location information corresponding to a location of the first remote device when the image data was captured, and determining a transformation between the local map and the first remote coordinate system. The local map may be aligned to a plurality of remote coordinate systems through triangulation based at least in part on location detections of a plurality of corresponding remote devices. The remote devices may generate a beacon or light that is detected by the system.
