METHOD OF NAVIGATING MOBILE OBJECT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01S13/46 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: sequential photoexposure of the earth's surface is performed with the stereopair cameras mounted on a mobile object, in the image of each camera, at least, three specific points of the surface are separated, the image of which is stable to be distinguished from images of all neighboring points, their coordinates are calculated in the related coordinate system, the angular and the linear movement of the movable object are determined relative to the earth's surface during the time interval between two photoexposures, the angular and the linear movement of the mobile object are determined during movement, and the current location coordinates are determined, that allows navigation while ensuring visibility of the earth's surface.

EFFECT: automation of measuring the parameters of the mobile object spatial displacement in conditions of visibility of the earth's surface.
