Patent attributes
A remote control unit of an unmanned vehicle comprises a first communications subsystem, a processor, and a graphics processor. The first communications subsystem may be operable to receive sensor data via a first communication link between the remote control unit and the unmanned vehicle. The processor may be operable to determine a position and orientation of the unmanned vehicle based on the sensor data. The first communication subsystem may be operable to receive, via a second communication link between the remote control unit and the unmanned vehicle, a live first-person view from a camera of the unmanned vehicle. The graphics processor may be operable to generate a virtual first-person view from apriori data based on the sensor data. The processor may be operable to determine whether to present said live first-person view or said virtual first-person view based on signal quality of said second communication link.
