    Abstract: A system for determining a signal source position and velocity, and methods for manufacturing and using same are provided. An exemplary method includes determining a signal source position and velocity by performing a direction analysis on a plurality of audio signals and performing an intensity analysis on the audio signals. Another exemplary method includes determining that a signal source is on a collision course with a moving platform and providing an instruction for altering the course of the moving platform to avoid a collision with the signal source. An exemplary system includes an acoustic sensing system, having a primary microphone array, a secondary microphone, and a processing device for determining a signal source position and velocity by performing a direction analysis on a plurality of audio signals and performing an intensity analysis on the audio signals.

    Abstract: A system for operating a mobile platform using distance and speed information and methods for making and using same. The system includes a time-of-flight sensor and an ultrasound sensor for measuring a distance between the mobile platform and an obstacle and a processor for integrating the sensed measurements and controlling the mobile platform. The distance measured by the time-of-flight sensor can be determined via a phase shift method. The time-of-flight sensor can also be used to measure a speed of the mobile platform by imaging a reference point at different times and using stereopsis to ascertain the displacement. Distances and speeds measured using the time-of-flight and ultrasound sensors can be integrated to improve measurement accuracy. The systems and methods are suitable for use in controlling any type of mobile platform, including unmanned aerial vehicles and advantageously can be applied for avoiding collisions between the mobile platform and the obstacle.

    Abstract: A method for controlling movement of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes controlling one or more propulsion units of the UVA to cause the UAV to operate according to a first set of altitude restrictions; assessing, with aid of the one or more processors and based on one or more criteria, whether to control the UAV to operate according to a second set of altitude restrictions; and controlling the one or more propulsion units to cause the UAV to operate according to the second set of altitude restrictions in response to the one or more criteria being fulfilled according to an assessing result. The first set of altitude restrictions constrain an altitude of the UAV relative to a first reference altitude. The second set of altitude restrictions constrain the altitude of the UAV relative to a second reference altitude.

    Abstract: A system includes an image sensor configured to obtain consecutive image frames, an exposure parameter acquisition unit configured to obtain a current automatic exposure parameter of a current image frame of the consecutive image frames, and a fill light controller configured to adjust an illumination intensity of a fill light lamp for a next image frame based on the current automatic exposure parameter and a preset condition by increasing or decreasing the illumination intensity of the fill light lamp for the next image frame by a preset increment if the automatic exposure parameter does not satisfy the preset condition. The preset increment is pre-determined based on the current automatic exposure parameter.
