Abstract:
To enable high-speed autonomous flight of a flight object. A three-dimensional real-time observation result is generated on the basis of self-position estimation information and three-dimensional distance measurement information. A prior map corresponding to a three-dimensional real-time observation result is acquired. The three-dimensional real-time observation result and the prior map are aligned. After the alignment, the three-dimensional real-time observation result is expanded on the basis of the prior map. A flight route is set on the basis of the three-dimensional real-time observation result having been expanded. In the flight object such as a drone, a somewhat long flight route can be accurately calculated at a time in a global behavior plan, which enables high-speed autonomous flight of the flight object.
