Abstract: A method for capturing images of large target area using a single low FOV high resolution camera mounted on an Aerial Vehicle for 3D reconstruction is disclosed. The camera captures sets of images consisting of a nadir image a plurality of oblique images at predefined waypoints or as the Aerial Vehicle travels along a flight path. Oblique images are captured in two perpendicular directions by tilting camera about a single tilt axis at one time thereby preventing bidirectional distortion of objects in images. Further, first direction and second direction define a quadrant of area below the Aerial Vehicle. Oblique images along two perpendicular directions are captured either by using roll and pitch axes, or by using a single tilt axis and a pan axis of camera control mechanism wherein using pan axis the single tilt axis is reoriented in a perpendicular orientation to capture oblique images in perpendicular direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Aspects of the present disclosure provide a UAV that includes at least four arms, each configured with a co-axial pair of contra rotating propellers, wherein each propeller has capability of rotating reversibly with associated reversal of direction of thrust, and an autopilot control system that controls rotational direction and speed of the at least four co-axial pairs of propellers to maintain yaw stability, roll stability and pitch stability of the UAV, wherein in an event of failure of any one co-axial pair out of the at least four co-axial pairs of propellers, the autopilot control system reverses direction of rotation and thereby direction of thrust of at least one propeller of any functional pair.

Abstract: A thermal management device for a battery pack 104 of an UAV is disclosed. The thermal management device 100 comprises an insulating enclosure 102 that is made of a material comprising at least an EPP foam for enclosing the battery pack 104, and one or more heating coils 110. The heating coils 110 are electrically powered from an external power source 112 for pre-heating the insulating enclosure 102 to a predefined temperature before flight of the UAV. The EPP foam of the insulating enclosure 102 provides high thermal insulation for retaining the heat of the insulating enclosure 102 for heating the battery pack 104 and maintaining the temperature of the battery pack 104 above a threshold temperature when the UAV flies in a sub-zero ambience temperature. The insulating enclosure 102 with the one or more heating coils 110 are configured to provide uniform heat distribution across the battery pack 104.

Abstract: A method for capturing images of large target area using a single camera configured with an aerial vehicle (AV) for reconstructing a high-resolution image is disclosed including the steps of moving the AV over the area of interest along a straight path; capturing a first set of images of an area down below by pointing an optical axis of the camera towards a first side of the straight path such that the optical axis makes a first predefined angle with vertical; and capturing a second set of images of the area down below by pointing the optical axis of the camera towards a second side of the straight path such that the optical axis makes a second predefined angle with respect to the vertical. Side overlap between the first and second set of images is optimized to account for error in camera movement.

Abstract: A device for self-balancing a rotating part, such as a propeller, along a given axis is disclosed. The propeller 102 coupled to, a drive shaft with freedom for linear movement along longitudinal axis L-L; at least one pair of levers 614/616, comprising a first lever 614-1/616-1 and a second lever 614-2/616-2, that are pivotally mounted on mounting plate 606 at two diametrically opposite points 618; and at least one pair of weights 622 fixed at external ends of the levers 614/616. inner ends of levers 614/616 are operatively coupled to the propeller 102 such that when propeller 102 undergoes a linear movement in any direction along the longitudinal, axis L-L due to unbalance, inner ends of levers are, moved to cause the weights 622 to move to provide a balancing force to neutralize the unbalance in the propeller. An embodiment with only one pair of levers is also disclosed.
