Abstract

A computing system in an infrastructure support network for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) may receive, from a UAV, aerial observation data of a ground-based cluster of charging pads for UAVs, the cluster comprising assets including the charging pads arranged in a layout and fiducial markers distributed across the layout. The aerial observation data may comprise position measurements of the UAV at aerial geolocations above the cluster, and vector positions of one or more assets with respect to the aerial geolocations. The computing system may generate a map graph from the aerial observation data, the map graph comprising (i) nodes corresponding to both the aerial geolocations and vector positions, and (ii) edges between pairs of selected nodes, the edges corresponding to distances between selected nodes and including measurement uncertainties. The computing system may generate a spatial map of cluster assets of the cluster by computationally optimizing the map graph.
