摘要: A technique for avoiding obstacles by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: acquiring an aerial image of a ground area below the UAV; analyzing the aerial image to identify a shadow in the aerial image cast by an object rising from the ground area; determining a pixel length of the shadow in the aerial image; calculating an estimated height of the object based at least on the pixel length of the shadow and an angle of the sun when the aerial image is acquired; and generating a clearance zone around the object having at least one dimension determined based on the estimated height, wherein the clearance zone represents a region in space to avoid when navigating the UAV.

摘要: A system and method for inferring operator intent by detecting operator focus incorporates cameras positioned within a cockpit or control space of a vehicle and oriented at an operator of the vehicle. The cameras capture images of the operator in a control seat; the images are analyzed (either individually or sequentially) to determine a gaze and/or body pose of the operator (including, e.g., a position and orientation of the torso and limbs). By comparing the determined gaze and/or body pose to the positions and orientations of potential focus targets within the control space (e.g., windows, display units, and/or control panels that the operator may engage with visually and/or physically), the system predicts the most likely future focus target or targets: what the operator is most likely to visually and/or physically engage with next. Operator intent may be further analyzed to identify potentially abnormal or anomalous behavior.

摘要: A method and an unmanned aerial vehicle for identifying and remediating a gas leak. The method includes flying the unmanned aerial vehicle towards a possible location of the gas leak, then detecting a first condition indicative of the gas leak with a first sensor and sensing environmental conditions near the gas leak with an environmental sensor. The method includes receiving, by a controller, a signal representing the first condition indicative of the gas leak and a signal representing the environmental conditions. The method includes determining, based on the first condition indicative of the gas leak and the environmental conditions near the gas leak, a flight plan including an ignition zone. The method includes positioning, based on the flight plan, the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the ignition zone and discharging, by an ignition mechanism, an ignition source into the gas leak to ignite the gas leak.

摘要: Computerized systems and methods are disclosed, including a computer system that executes software that may receive a geographic location having one or more coordinates of a structure, receive a validation of the structure location, and generate unmanned aircraft information based on the one or more coordinates of the validated location. The unmanned aircraft information may include an offset from the walls of the structure to direct an unmanned aircraft to fly an autonomous flight path offset from the walls, and camera control information to direct a camera of the unmanned aircraft to capture images of the walls at a predetermined time interval while the unmanned aircraft is flying the flight path. The computer system may receive images of the walls captured by the camera while the unmanned aircraft is flying the autonomous flight path and generate a structure report based at least in part on the images.

摘要: In some examples, a first device includes multiple fixed first cameras and a movable second camera. A processor is configured to receive, from at least one of the fixed first cameras, a plurality of first images of an airspace corresponding to an area of operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and detect, based at least on the first images, a candidate object approaching or within the airspace. Based on detecting the candidate object, the processor controls a movable second camera to direct a field of view of the movable second camera toward the candidate object. Based on one or more second images from the movable second camera captured at a first location and one or more third images from a third camera captured at a second location, the processor may determine that the candidate object is an object of interest and perform at least one action.

摘要: Embodiments are described for detecting optical discrepancies associated with image capture analyzing pixels in multiple images corresponding to common points of reference in a physical environment. In an embodiment, photometric error values are averaged over time to compute the mean error at each pixel. Once the estimate of the mean error has a sufficient number of updates above a specified value, the estimate is thresholded to provide a mask of any optical discrepancies occurring in the stereo pair of images. Applications include detecting optical discrepancies in images captured for use by a visual navigation system in guiding an autonomous vehicle (e.g., an unmanned aerial vehicle).

摘要: An unmanned device used in a wireless communication relay system includes: a surrounding environment information detector acquiring information on a surrounding environment of a moving object; a processor generating a control command for the moving object based on the acquired information on the surrounding environment; and a communication interface for transmitting the control command generated by the processor to the moving object, wherein the unmanned device is located at a predetermined height and relays communication between the moving object and a control center, and thus, even when wireless communication between the control center and the moving object is difficult due to an obstacle or the like, the connection of the wireless communication may be maintained without disconnection of the wireless communication.

摘要: A system to remotely detect and identify an airborne drone presenting a flight risk to crewed aircraft. A warning of the hazardous drone is provided to the crewed aircraft. An airborne drone is observed by any of several means, to include for example by receipt of drone location or identification data transmitted by the drone, the crewed aircraft, or a ground-based system, or through a sensor positioned on the ground, on the drone, or aboard the crewed aircraft. The safety warning and real-time observation of a hazardous drone may be shared among other crewed aircraft or drones, in particular to other subscribing aircraft and/or drones approaching the airspace of the hazardous drone.
