    Abstract: Controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle to traverse a portion of an operational environment of the unmanned aerial vehicle may include obtaining an object detection type, obtaining object detection input data, obtaining relative object orientation data based on the object detection type and the object detection input data, and performing a collision avoidance operation based on the relative object orientation data. The object detection type may be monocular object detection, which may include obtaining the relative object orientation data by obtaining motion data indicating a change of spatial location for the unmanned aerial vehicle between obtaining the first image and obtaining the second image based on searching along epipolar lines to obtain optical flow data.

    Abstract: Controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle may include obtaining a first image from a fixed orientation image capture device of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtaining a second image from an adjustable orientation image capture device of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtaining feature correlation data based on the first image and the second image, obtaining relative image capture device orientation calibration data based on the feature correlation data, the relative image capture device orientation calibration data indicating an orientation of the adjustable orientation image capture device relative to the fixed orientation image capture device, obtaining relative object orientation data based on the relative image capture device orientation calibration data, the relative object orientation data representing a three-dimensional orientation of an external object relative to the adjustable orientation image capture device, and controlling a trajectory of the unmanned aerial vehicle in response to the relative object orientation data.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for detecting an aerial vehicle landing. One method includes performing at least two of a plurality of landing tests to detect the landing of the aerial vehicle. The plurality of landing tests include a static test, a thrust test, and a shock test. Upon a detection of the landing by one of the at least two landing tests performed, the method further includes performing a free-fall test to detect a free fall of the aerial vehicle. The free fall of the aerial vehicle is a change in altitude of the aerial vehicle above an altitude change threshold. Upon a lack of a detection of the free fall by the free-fall test, the method includes setting a landed state for the aerial vehicle. Upon a detection of the free fall by the free-fall test, the method includes setting an in-air state for the aerial vehicle.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining predicted risk for a flight path of an unmanned aerial vehicle. A previously stored three-dimensional representation of a user-selected location may be obtained. The three-dimensional representation may be derived from depth maps of the user-selected location generated during previous unmanned aerial vehicle flights. The three-dimensional representation may reflect a presence of objects and object existence accuracies for the individual objects. The object existence accuracies for the individual objects may provide information about accuracy of existence of the individual objects within the user-selected location. A user-created flight path may be obtained for a future unmanned aerial flight within the three-dimensional representation of the user-selected location. Predicted risk may be determined for individual portions of the user-created flight path based upon the three-dimensional representation of the user-selected location.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include, based on a sequence of orientation estimates for an image sensor and an orientation setpoint, invoking a mechanical stabilization system to adjust an orientation of the image sensor toward the orientation setpoint; receiving an image from the image sensor; determining an orientation error between the orientation of the image sensor and the orientation setpoint during capture of the image; and, based on the orientation error, invoking an electronic image stabilization module to correct the image for a rotation corresponding to the orientation error to obtain a stabilized image.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for vehicle guidance. Stereo images may be obtained at different times using a stereo image sensor. A depth image may be determined based on an earlier obtained pair of stereo images. The depth image may be refined based on predictions of an earlier stereo image and a later obtained stereo image. Depth information for an environment around a vehicle may be obtained. The depth information may characterize distances between the vehicle and the environment around the vehicle. A spherical depth map may be generated from the depth information. Maneuver controls for the vehicle may be provided based on the spherical depth map.
