Work site monitoring system and method

Abstract:

A work site monitoring system includes a communication component receiving image data representing at least one image of a work site captured by an imaging apparatus of an unmanned aerial device. The system further includes a controller, with memory and processing architecture for executing instructions stored in the memory, coupled to the communication component. The controller includes a scene module, an object module, and a map module. The scene module is configured to evaluate the image data and generate a scene image of the work site based on at least the image data. The object module is configured to identify at least a first object in the image and to abstract the first object as object symbology. The map module is configured to generate a work site map with the object symbology layered onto the scene image.
