    摘要: A measurement apparatus mountable on a movable apparatus includes a first imaging device to capture an image in a first image capture direction, the first image capture direction having a first angle with respect to a direction of travel of the movable apparatus, and a second imaging device disposed next to the first imaging device to capture an image in a second image capture direction, the second image capture direction having a second angle with respect to the direction of travel of the movable apparatus. The first and second imaging devices are disposed to overlap at least partially a first imaging range of the first imaging device and a second imaging range of the second imaging device. At least one of the first image capture direction of the first imaging device and the second image capture direction of the second imaging device is set at a given angle with respect to a width dimension of the movable apparatus.

    摘要: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a camera, one or more sensors, memory storing first instructions that define an overall mission, and memory storing one or more mission cues. The vehicle further includes one or more processors configured to execute a first part of the first instructions to perform a first part of the overall mission. The processors are configured to process at least one of the image data and the sensor data to detect a presence of at least one of the mission cues. The processors are configured to, in response to detecting a mission cue, interrupting execution of the first instructions and executing second instructions to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform a first sub-mission of the overall mission. The processors are configured to after executing the second instructions, performing a second part of the overall mission by executing a second part of the first instructions.

    摘要: An information processing apparatus includes a control unit that controls a first flying vehicle and a second flying vehicle. The first flying vehicle captures an image of a surface of a road. The second flying vehicle emits light onto the surface, such that a spot where a level difference is estimated, in advance, to occur on the surface, an image capturing direction in which the first flying vehicle captures an image of the spot, and a light emitting direction in which the second flying vehicle emits the light onto the spot have a relationship that causes, when the level difference exists, a shadow to occur at the spot and the shadow to be captured.

    摘要: An improved system and method for controlling turf grading equipment is described. The system comprises a turf grading device wherein the turf grading device is moved longitudinally over an area and the turf grading device comprises a left side and a right side with each side being able to independently move vertically and in concert provide a motion of pitch and yaw. The system includes a control system wherein the control system controls movement of the left side and the right side independently. The control system comprises a controller interface capable of selecting between a manual override mode and a module selection mode wherein the module selection mode selected from a grade adjust laser mode, a grade adjust autograde mode, a grade adjust autodepth mode and a grade adjust slope mode

    摘要: Ambient conditions in which a marine vessel is to travel along a path are determined. Power settings for the marine vessel to travel along the path are determined based on the ambient conditions to direct the marine vessel to travel along a planned trajectory toward a designated location. Movement of the marine vessel is monitored while using the power settings and a discrepancy between movement of the marine vessel and the planned trajectory is identified. The power settings are automatically modified based on the discrepancy. Movement of the marine vessel then controlled according to the modified power settings.

    摘要: A method 20 and system 10 monitor road condition, by providing, for portions (14.1-14.m) of a road 12, an approximation 210 of a roughness figure in accordance with a roughness index. The method 10 includes receiving speed data 208 of a first vehicle 16 travelling along each of the portions of the road 12 and receiving, from a measuring device 18 carried on the first vehicle 16, measured acceleration data 204 of the device 18 perpendicular to the road 12 surface. The acceleration data 204 is processed to provide a parameter value 206 relating to the acceleration data 204 for each of the portions of the road 12. A first speed-based conversion equation and the speed data 208 is utilized to convert the parameter 206 into the approximation 210 of a roughness figure for each of the portions of the road 12, in accordance with the roughness index.
