    Abstract: Structure inspections are performed with a high resolution by first performing a modeling flight path at a relatively high altitude over the structure. Images are gathered during the modeling flight path and are used to generate a three dimensional model of the structure. From the three dimensional model a lower altitude closer inspection flight path is defined and executed.

    Abstract: A data communication system for unmanned aerial vehicles includes communication links comprising a low-throughput capacity communication link and a high-throughput capacity communication link. The data communication system can also include a base station, to which the unmanned aerial vehicles send aerial data, and from which the unmanned aerial vehicles receive command signals. As the unmanned aerial vehicles perform missions in an open, distant airspace, the unmanned aerial vehicles can gather large volume data such as aerial images or videos. The data communication system allows opportunistic transfer of the gathered aerial data from the unmanned aerial vehicles to the base station when a high-throughput communication link is established. The data communication system allows constant communication between the base station and the unmanned aerial vehicles to send and receive low volume, operation-critical data, such as commands or on-going flight path changes, using a low-throughput communication link.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle is provided, including a primary operation system in communication with a primary state estimator. The primary operation system is configured to operate the unmanned aerial vehicle based in part on the primary state estimator. The vehicle includes a flight failure recovery system in communication with a recovery state estimator and the primary operation system. The flight failure recovery system is configured to determine, at a first time, that flight failure has occurred. The flight failure recovery system is configured to determine a suitable second time to generate a deploy signal for a parachute based at least in part on one or more signals from the recovery state estimator. There is a delay between the first time and the suitable second time. An intelligent emergency parachute deployment system for, and a method for flight failure recovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle are also provided.
