Abstract: There is a method for mapping in a movable object environment. The method of mapping may include obtaining mapping data from a scanning sensor (202) of a compact payload (124) coupled to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (104), the compact payload (124) comprising the scanning sensor (202), one or more cameras (204, 206), and an inertial navigation system (INS) (208) configured to be synchronized using a reference clock signal (1302), obtaining feature data from a first camera of the one or more cameras (204, 206) (1304), obtaining positioning data from the INS (208) (1306), associating the mapping data with the positioning data based at least on the reference clock signal to generate geo-referenced data (1308), and storing the geo-referenced data and the feature data to a removable storage medium (216) (1310).

Abstract: A crossbar assembly (30a, 30b) for facilitating isolation of a sensor assembly from vibration of a payload mounting system on a vehicle comprises an outer crossbar segment (60), an inner crossbar segment (66), and an isolator (38a, 38b). The inner crossbar segment (66) comprises a payload mount interface (36a, 36b) operable to mount to a payload mount (22), and an inner isolator interface (67) operable to mount to an isolator (38a, 38b). The outer crossbar segment (60) comprises a structure interface (34a, 34b) to mount to a structure, and an outer isolator interface (61) operable to mount to the isolator (38a, 38b). The isolator (38a, 38b) can be supported by the outer and inner crossbar segments (60, 66). The isolator (38a, 38b) comprises an elastomeric component (50) operable to elastically deform in response to relative movement between the outer and inner crossbar segments (60, 66). The isolator (38a, 38b) operates to partially decouple the outer crossbar segment (60) from the inner crossbar segment (66) and dampen vibrations propagating between the outer and inner crossbar segments (60, 66).

Abstract: An aerial vehicle is programmed or configured to respond to reports of events or conditions within spaces of a facility. The aerial vehicle travels to a location of a reported event or condition and captures data using onboard sensors. The aerial vehicle independently determines whether the reported event or condition is occurring, or is otherwise properly addressed by resources that are available at the location, using images or other data captured by the onboard sensors. Alternatively, the aerial vehicle transmits a request for additional resources to be provided at the location, where necessary. A map of the location generated based on images or other data captured by the onboard sensors may be utilized for any purpose, such as to make one or more recommendations of products that are appropriate for use at the facility.

Abstract: A portable dimensional reference (PDR) that is transportable to a tower site and deployable on site at ground level near a tower. The PDR includes a pair of target pads and multiple connecting segments, which may be attached end-to-end between the target pads. The target pads are marked with respective targets that enable photogrammetry software to identify the targets, their locations, and the distance between them with high precision, enabling the software to apply the known distance as a scale constraint for accurately scaling dimensions of imaged components of the tower.

Abstract: The technology described herein relates to autonomous aerial vehicle technology and, more specifically, to autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle with folding collapsible arms. In some embodiments, a UAV including a central body, a plurality of rotor arms, and a plurality of hinge mechanisms is disclosed. The plurality of rotor arms each include a rotor unit at a distal end of the rotor arm. The rotor units are configured to provide propulsion for the UAV. The plurality of hinge mechanisms mechanically attach (or couple) proximal ends of the plurality of rotor arms to the central body. Each hinge mechanism is configured to rotate a respective rotor arm of the plurality of rotor arms about an axis of rotation that is at an oblique angle relative to a vertical median plane of the central body to transition between an extended state and a folded state.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for aligning a laser scanning device for measurement of a volume of a container. A method includes: causing an autonomous vehicle coupled to the laser scanning device to move to a location at a known distance from a reference circumference; generating data indicative of locations of points along a portion of the reference circumference; determining, based on the data, an alignment angle by which the autonomous vehicle is to steer such that an axis of the laser scanning device that intersects the container passes through a center axis of the container; causing the autonomous vehicle to steer by the alignment angle, such that the laser scanning device is thereby aligned normal to a tangent plane of a wall of the container; and measuring a plurality of horizontal offsets of the wall relative to the reference circumference for use in determining the volume.

Abstract: The inventive system and method presented herein combines and integrates information to provide a more effective single rating of vegetation health and biomass. As a result the present invention provides for an objective biomass rating which produces a single numerical measure of vegetation biomass and health that can be used for quantitative comparative assessment of vegetation in research trials and in plant production. The inventive system and method further provides for remote-sensing of vegetation health and biomass based on combined assessments of morphological data (extracted from sources such as high-resolution elevation raster-maps or point-clouds produced by photogrammetric or LiDAR sensors) and radiometric data (such as spectral reflectance maps generated from multi- or hyper-spectral imaging systems).
