    摘要: Described herein are systems for the production, communication, routing, service, authentication, and consumption of cryptographically authenticable contextual content produced by cryptographically authenticable devices; example implementations of the architecture for a Trusted Contextual Content Device which produces Trusted Contextual Content; and example implementations of the architecture for a Trusted Drone Device which produces Trusted Contextual Content. For example, some of the methods used may include accessing a first set of sensor data from one or more sensors; receiving, a first trusted contextual content that includes a first digital signature; generating a data structure including the first trusted contextual content and data based on the first set of sensor data; signing the data structure using a signing key to generate a second trusted contextual content including a second digital signature; and storing or transmitting the second trusted contextual content.

    摘要: Systems and methods for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A method includes capturing a raw video stream input using one or more camera sensors of the UAV. The method includes determining a zoom level for the raw video stream input. For the zoom level being determined to be greater than 3×, the method includes: first zooming the raw video stream input to a first field of view (FOV) at 3× to generate a 3× zoomed video stream; second zooming the 3× zoomed video stream to a second FOV at a second zoom level to generate a fully zoomed video stream at greater than 3×; and applying electronic image stabilization (EIS) to the fully zoomed video stream to generate a zoomed and stabilized video stream. Embodiments of the present technology provide a hybrid zoom approach with improved EIS performance to enhance the UAV user experience.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and software for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having one or more camera sensors. A method includes capturing a video stream using the camera sensor(s) of the UAV. The method includes determining a capability of a ground station communicably coupled to the UAV to annotate the video stream. In response to determining that the ground station is capable to annotate the video stream, the method includes transmitting the video stream to the ground station without annotations. Alternatively, in response to determining that the ground station is incapable to annotate the video stream, drawing annotations on the video stream to generate an annotated video stream, and transmitting the annotated video stream to the ground station. Embodiments of the present technology provide enhanced interoperability between UAVs and different types of ground stations to improve streamlining and quality of user experiences as compared to conventional systems and techniques.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and software for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A method includes capturing a video stream using one or more camera sensors of the UAV. The method includes transmitting data representative of the video stream to a ground station communicably coupled to the UAV. The method includes determining one or more performance characteristics of a communications link between the UAV and the ground station. The method includes adjusting a resolution of the video stream according to the one or more performance characteristics of the communication link. Embodiments of the present technology provide continuity of video quality for viewing by UAV users at ground stations responsive to variations in video data transmission capacity during flight operations with minimal, or no, detrimental impact on user experience.

    摘要: Described herein are systems and methods using a security key for an unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, some methods include during flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle, encrypting, using a public key stored by the unmanned aerial vehicle, a symmetric key that is used to encrypt media data captured using one or more sensors of the unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain encrypted media data; landing the unmanned aerial vehicle; connecting a key device to the unmanned aerial vehicle via a serial port connector of the key device and a serial port connector of the unmanned aerial vehicle; while the key device is connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle, decrypting, using a private key stored on the key device, the encrypted symmetric key, which in turn is used to decrypt a portion of the encrypted media data to obtain decrypted media data; and transmitting a portion of the decrypted media data.
