Abstract: An unmanned autonomous vehicle assessment and reporting system may conduct patch scan analyses of a roof. Damage points on the roof may be evaluated for severity and assigned a severity value. A remediation status may be objectively developed for one or more faces of the roof based on the number of damage points within a patch region of a defined size and the severity value of each of the damage points within the patch region. A visualization system may overlay markings, such as color-coded markings, to display a representation of a roof, patch regions, damage points, and/or severity values.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing a traffic news interface. For example, a traffic news provider component may query traffic camera data and/or traffic incident data to identify traffic cameras and/or traffic incidents along a route of a driver. The traffic cameras and/or the traffic incidents may be ranked based upon a safety metric, a travel time sensitivity metric, an alternative route selection metric, a driving behavior pattern, a driver mood, a distance of a traffic camera or traffic incident from a current user location, and/or other information used to determine how relevant information from the traffic camera and/or a traffic incident is to this particular driver. A subset of traffic cameras and/or traffic incidents may be selected for inclusion within a traffic news interface based upon camera relevancy rankings and/or incident relevancy rankings.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for generation of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle flight plans based on triggered sensor information. One of the methods includes accessing information correlated from sensors monitoring features of weather events, and determining an upcoming weather event, the determination comprising one or more areas expected to be affected by the weather event. A likelihood of damage associated with the weather event is determined to be greater than a threshold in the areas. The weather event is monitored while areas in which the likelihood is greater than the threshold are updated accordingly. Subsequent to the weather event, properties to be inspected by unmanned aerial vehicles are determined based on severity information associated with the weather event. Job information is generated, the job information being associated with inspecting the determined properties, the job information including jobs each assignable to operators for implementation.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to visual inspection systems, and more particularly to a method and system for facilitating real time detection of linear infrastructural objects in aerial imagery. In one embodiment, a background suppression technique is applied to one or more hardware processors to a HSV image. Further, a mean shift filtering technique is applied to the hardware processors to find a peak of a confidence map and then a gradient image generation is performed for a plurality of edges of the image. A seed point pair along a middle cut portion of a linear feature of the HSV image to identify one or more boundaries of the seed point pair is extracted and then a contour growing approach to detect the boundaries of the linear feature is initiated. Lastly, one or more false positives are removed by using a rigidity feature, the rigidity feature being equivalent to the total sum of gradient orientations.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assessment and reporting system may conduct micro scans of a wide variety of property types. A site identification system may allow for identification of a point or points of interest to be scanned via the micro scans. A coordinate offset system may calculate a coordinate offset of location coordinates from a satellite-based mapping system relative to real-time coordinate readings from an on-site UAV. Satellite-based location coordinates for the identified point(s) of interest may be adjusted based on the calculated coordinate offset to enhance the scanning itself, data association, visualization of scan data, and/or reporting of scan data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for ground control point assignment and determination. One of the methods includes receiving information describing a flight plan for the UAV to implement, the flight plan identifying one or more waypoints associated with geographic locations assigned as ground control points. A first waypoint identified in the flight plan is traveled to, and an action to designate a surface at the associated geographic location is designated as a ground control point. Location information associated with the designated surface is stored. The stored location information is provided to an outside system for storage.
