Abstract
A system to parse both telemetry data and corresponding encoded video data wherein the telemetry and video data are subsequently synchronized based upon temporal information, such as a time stamp. The telemetry data and the video data are originally unsynchronized and the data for each is acquired by a separate device. The acquiring devices may be located within or attached to an aerial vehicle. The system receives the telemetry data and the encoded video data and outputs a series of synchronized video images with telemetry data. Thus, telemetry information is associated with each video image. The telemetry data may be acquired at a different rate than the video data. As a result, telemetry data may be interpolated or extrapolated to correspond to each video image. The present system operates in real-time, thus data acquired from aerial vehicles can be displayed on a map.
