Abstract: An object detection system and method detect objects by projecting an infrared (IR) pattern from an IR emitter and capturing images with respective cameras that each includes an IR channel (e.g., a near IR channel) and one or more visible channels (e.g., red, green, and blue). The object detection system may detect, in the IR channels of the captured images, illumination features (e.g., points, lines, or shapes of IR illumination) from the IR pattern and may also detect objects in the visible channels of the images. The object detection sensor may estimate locations for the objects based on detected illumination features incident upon each object. The object detection system may be part of an aerial vehicle and may be used for autonomous or semi-autonomous flight planning.

Abstract: A noise cancellation system for an unmanned aerial vehicle may have an audio capture module, a metadata module and a filter. The audio capture module may be configured to receive an audio signal captured from a microphone, e.g., on a camera. The metadata module may be configured to retrieve noise information associated with noise generating components operating on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The filter may be configured to receive the audio signal and noise information from the audio capture module. The filter also may be configured to retrieve a baseline profile from a database based on the noise information. The baseline profile includes noise parameter to filter out audio frequencies from the audio signal corresponding to the noise generating component. The filter may generate a filtered audio signal for output.

Abstract: A content visualization system generates visual content for a visualization device based on visual content of a live event. The content visualization system collects visual content and source perspective data from visual content sources. The visualization device requests visual content from the content visualization system by providing device perspective data to the content visualization system. The content visualization system generates visual content for the visualization device based on the visual content from the visual content sources, the source perspective data, and the device perspective data. The content visualization system can determine visual content that is relevant to the device perspective by identifying source perspectives that overlap with the device perspective. The content visualization system generates visual content for the visualization device based on the identified visual content. The content visualization system can generate composited or non-composited visual content, based on the similarity of the source perspectives to the device perspective.

Abstract: A positioning system is designed to align a lens barrel with a sensor assembly. A first end of a lens barrel includes ridges along an edge. The sensor assembly includes a recessed channel with reciprocal ridges for mating with the ridges of the lens barrel. The sensor assembly also includes a plurality of shim platforms structured, each structured to position a wedge shaped shim, the wedge shaped shim including a flat bottom to slide on the shim platform and raise or lower the lens barrel relative to the reciprocal ridges on which the lens barrel rests.

Abstract: A visualization device allows a user to be immersed in visual content by projecting the visual content to the user. A projection element is positioned such that visual content projected from the projection element is reflected off of a mirror, which is angled such that the reflected projection is reflected onto a lens doublet. The lens doublet is angled such that the visual content projection reflected onto the lens doublet is partially reflected toward the user. In addition, an electrochromic slab can be controlled to allow configurable amounts of ambient light into the visualization device. If the electrochromic slab is configured such that no ambient light is allowed into the visualization device, the user is only able to see the visual content projected by the display device. The electrochromic slab can also be configured to allow some or all ambient light to travel into the visualization device.

Abstract: A variable pitch propeller is designed to adjust the pitch of the propeller blade during flight to maximize the propeller efficiency. The propeller blade may comprise airfoil cross-sections. Each cross-section may be composed of different materials at the leading edge and trailing edge. In various embodiments, these materials are selected and oriented to achieve the necessary elastic moduli of the leading and trailing edge for the airfoil cross-section. During liftoff, the airfoil at the blade tip possesses a high blade pitch (e.g. 20 degrees), thereby increasing the generated lift on the propeller blades. During flight or hover conditions when maximal lift is no longer required, the trailing edge of the airfoil displaces upward and reduces the blade pitch to minimize the drag forces on the blade tip.

Abstract: Multiple cameras are arranged in an array at a pitch, roll, and yaw that allow the cameras to have adjacent fields of view such that each camera is pointed inward relative to the array. The read window of an image sensor of each camera in a multi-camera array can be adjusted to minimize the overlap between adjacent fields of view, to maximize the correlation within the overlapping portions of the fields of view, and to correct for manufacturing and assembly tolerances. Images from cameras in a multi-camera array with adjacent fields of view can be manipulated using low-power warping and cropping techniques, and can be taped together to form a final image.

Abstract: A propeller blade includes a first material and a second material. The first material includes fibers. The second material is different from the first material. The fibers are interspersed through the second material and the fibers are oriented in a same direction within the second material. The propeller blade is anisotropic and includes sections of the fibers.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on opposing fields of view with overlap. The UAV may include a housing, a motor, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first optical element having a first field of view greater than 180 degrees, a second optical element having a second field of view greater than 180 degrees, and one or more processors. The first optical element and the second optical element may be carried by the housing such that a centerline of the second field of view is substantially opposite from a centerline of the first field of view, and a peripheral portion of the first field of view and a peripheral portion of the second field of view overlap. Flight control for the UAV may be provided based on parallax disparity of an object within the overlapping fields of view.
