Amazon patents AR system to check sky obstructions for satellite links

1. A system comprising: a camera that during operation acquires image data; an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor that during operation acquires IMU data, wherein the IMU sensor and the camera are fixed relative to one another; and a first set of one or more processors executing instructions to: determine a virtual field-of-view (VFOV) that is representative of a first portion of sky; configure an augmented reality (AR) module based on the VFOV; determine, using the AR module, a first plurality of markers that are associated with the VFOV, wherein each marker is associated with a point within the VFOV and a unique identifier; acquire first input data comprising first image data indicative of a second portion of the sky and first IMU data associated with acquiring the first image data, wherein the second portion of the sky is a subset of the first portion of the sky; determine first processed data based on the first image data, wherein the first processed data is indicative of a set of classes for elements of the first image data; determine, based on the first input data, a first subset of the first plurality of markers that is associated with the first processed data; determine, based on the first subset with respect to the first processed data and the first plurality of markers, a first relationship between the first image data and the VFOV, wherein the first relationship represents a projection of the first image data onto a corresponding portion of the VFOV that is associated with a same AR marker; and determine first transformed data based on the first relationship and the first processed data, wherein individual markers of the first subset that are associated with the first transformed data are aligned to the markers of the first plurality of markers of the VFOV having the same unique identifier.
