Abstract: A computer system for identifying a flood risk area including a processor in communication with a memory device, an unmanned vehicle (UV), and a sensor is provided. The processor may be configured to: receive topography data of a geographical area from the UV, wherein the topography data is generated by the UV located at the geographical area; receive water data from a sensor located at the geographical area, wherein the water data is generated by the sensor; determine that the geographical area includes a flood risk geographical area; generate an alert including a flood map including the flood risk geographical area; and transmit the alert to one or more client devices associated with a user to notify the user that the geographical area includes the flood risk geographical area.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a vehicle assist drone. The vehicle assist drone can be operated in different modes. For example, the vehicle assist drone can be deployed in a user of an AV service assist mode, a clear occlusion mode, refined routing mode, a security mode, a search and rescue mode (e.g., search for missing child mode), or some other mode. In addition, the vehicle assist drone can be used to supplement a vehicle's sensors. For example, supplementary sensor data from the vehicle assist drone can be used in place of the vehicle's sensors or combined with sensor data from the onboard sensors of the vehicle to supplement the vehicle's sensors.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for inspecting an aircraft. A computer system receives captured data associated with a flight path flown by an unmanned aircraft system to acquire the captured data for the aircraft. The computer system compares the captured data with reference data for the aircraft to form a comparison. The computer system determines whether the captured data is within a set of tolerances for valid captured data using a result of the comparison. Prior to detecting anomalies for the aircraft using the captured data, the computer system determines a set of corrective actions in response to the captured data being outside of the set of tolerances for the valid captured data in which the set of corrective actions is performed.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting a typical object of a transmission line based on UAV federated learning. The method includes: determining a detection model for a typical object of a transmission line by YOLOv3 object detection algorithm according to a prior database for the typical object; dividing a UAV network into multiple federated learning units; acquiring pictures, taken by the UAV network, of the typical object and tags corresponding to each picture to determine a training database; training, based on Horovod framework and FATE federated learning framework, each federated learning unit according to the training database and the detection model for the typical object, and determining the trained UAV network according to the trained federated learning unit; and determining, by the trained UAV network, the typical object in each picture. A congestion of communication links is avoided, thereby improving detection efficiency.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting an anomaly of an optically transparent or translucent object are disclosed. The system and method include a light source configured to emit light, a light transmission element having a textured surface, and an optical couplant configured to be disposed between the light transmission element and the object. At least a portion of the light emitted by the light source is configured to pass into the light transmission element through the textured surface and pass into the object through the optical couplant. At least a portion of the light that passes into the object internally reflects within the object and impinges on the anomaly to provide an illumination that indicates the location of the anomaly.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for the coordination of actions between movable objects. For example, a method may coordinate actions between at least a first and a second movable object. The method may detect, by the first movable object, the position of a target. The method may control the position of a first movable object based on the position of the target. A command may be received for the first movable object to perform an action in coordination with the second movable object. In some embodiments, the command may be to take images of the target to create a bullet time effect.
