Abstract: One variation of a method for imaging an area of interest includes: within a user interface, receiving a selection for a set of interest points on a digital map of a physical area and receiving a selection for a resolution of a geospatial map; identifying a ground area corresponding to the set of interest points for imaging during a mission; generating a flight path over the ground area for execution by an unmanned aerial vehicle during the mission; setting an altitude for the unmanned aerial vehicle along the flight path based on the selection for the resolution of the geospatial map and an optical system arranged within the unmanned aerial vehicle; setting a geospatial accuracy requirement for the mission based on the selection for the mission type; and assembling a set of images captured by the unmanned aerial vehicle during the mission into the geospatial map.

Abstract: A system for establishing a baseline of a stereoscopic imaging device having a microlens array and methods for making and using the same. The system acquires an object distance between the microlens array and an object of interest and selects first and second lenses from the microlens array based upon the acquired object distance. The system likewise can perform simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with the imaging device. In one embodiment, the system can acquire first and second stereoscopic frames with the microlens array. The system thereby can measure rotations of the second stereoscopic frame with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and match the first and second stereoscopic frames by combining the rotation data with the first and second stereoscopic frames. The system thereby can enable SLAM systems to perform more accurately and more practically in various indoor and/or outdoor environments.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a camera (10) with a digital sensor read by a mechanism of the rolling shutter type delivering video data (Scam) line by line. An exposure control circuit (22) adjusts dynamically the exposure time (texp) as a function of the level of illumination of the scene that is captured. A gyrometer unit (12) delivers a gyrometer signal (Sgyro) representative of the instantaneous variations of attitude (φ, θ, ψ) of the camera, and a processing circuit (18) that receives the video data (Scam) and the gyrometer signal (Sgyro) delivers as an output video data processed and corrected for artefacts introduced by vibrations specific to the apparatus. An anti-wobble filter (24) dynamically modifies the gain of the gyrometer signal as a function of the exposure time (texp), so as to reduce the gain of the filter when the exposure time increases, and vice versa.

Abstract: A first pattern associated with a performer may be recognized based upon visual information. A sensor carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle may be configured to generate output signals conveying the visual information. A first distance may be determined between the first pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. A second pattern associated with a performee may be recognized based upon the visual information. A second distance may be determined between the second pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. Flight control may be adjusted based upon the first distance and the second distance. A flight control subsystem may be configured to provide the flight control for the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein incorporate autonomous navigation using a vision-based guidance system. The vision-based guidance system enables autonomous trajectory planning and motion execution by the described systems and methods without feedback or communication with external operators. The systems and methods described herein can autonomously track an object of interest while seeking to obtain a diversity of views of the object of interest to aid in object identification. The systems and methods described include a robust reacquisition methodology. By handling navigation and tracking autonomously, systems described herein can react more quickly to non-cooperative moving objects of interest and can operate in situations where communications with external operators is compromised or absent.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for unmanned aerial vehicle modular command priority determination and filtering system. One of the methods includes enabling control of the UAV by a first control source that provides modular commands to the UAV, each modular command being a command associated with performance of one or more actions by the UAV. Modular commands from a second control source requesting control of the UAV are received. The second control source is determined to be in control of the UAV based on priority information associated with each control source. Control of the UAV is enabled by the second control source, and modular commands are implemented.
