Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for inspection management in a movable object environment. An inspection application can receive data from an inspection application and use this data to generate one or more inspection missions. When a user selects an inspection mission in the inspection application, the inspection application can instruct a movable object to perform the selected inspection mission. The movable object can follow one or more dynamically generated paths around a target object and capture a plurality of images. The images can be viewed in a viewing application to perform an inspection of the target object.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining a vehicle type of a vehicle detected in an image is disclosed. An image having a detected vehicle is received. A number of vehicle models having salient feature points is projected on the detected vehicle. A first set of features derived from each of the salient feature locations of the vehicle models is compared to a second set of features derived from corresponding salient feature locations of the detected vehicle to form a set of positive match scores (p-scores) and a set of negative match scores (n-scores). The detected vehicle is classified as one of the vehicle models based at least in part on the set of p-scores and the set of n-scores.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes: a vehicle body, where the vehicle body includes a first positioning device; and a landing gear, where the landing gear can be detached from the vehicle body, and when the landing gear is detached from the vehicle body, the vehicle body determines a position of the landing gear by using the first positioning device. Because the landing gear can be detached from the vehicle body and the vehicle body can determine the position of the landing gear by using the first positioning device, the unmanned aerial vehicle, when performing a flight mission, is not affected by the weight of the landing gear, avoiding that the landing gear blocks an image capture device and implementing convenient takeoff and landing.

Abstract: In an approach to spatial positioning using image parameters, a computer processor identifies one or more image parameters for an image subject. The processor identifies a first image of the image subject and determines whether the first image meets the one or more image parameters for the image subject. If the first image does not meet the one or more image parameters for the image subject, the processor calculates positional instructions based on the one or more image parameters for the image subject and the identified first image, where the calculated positional instructions include positioning instructions for one or more imaging devices.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assessment and reporting system may conduct micro scans of a wide variety of property types. A risk zone within which the UAV may navigate during the micro scan may include a plurality of virtual tags that identify navigational hazards relevant to the navigation of the UAV at a specific location or specify scan actions to be implemented while the UAV is at the specific location. Scan data from any of a wide variety of sensor types may be compared with profile data using computer vision techniques to identify characteristics, defects, damage, construction materials, and the like. A rule set evaluator may evaluate tags and/or matched profile data to determine adaptive actions to modify the navigation or scanning process of the UAV.

Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for detecting an aerial vehicle landing. One method includes performing at least two of a plurality of landing tests to detect the landing of the aerial vehicle. The plurality of landing tests include a static test, a thrust test, and a shock test. Upon a detection of the landing by one of the at least two landing tests performed, the method further includes performing a free-fall test to detect a free fall of the aerial vehicle. The free fall of the aerial vehicle is a change in altitude of the aerial vehicle above an altitude change threshold. Upon a lack of a detection of the free fall by the free-fall test, the method includes setting a landed state for the aerial vehicle. Upon a detection of the free fall by the free-fall test, the method includes setting an in-air state for the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: A drone-based system determines a user cohort for one or more users to assemble an object. The drone-based system assesses a task for the one or more users to assemble the object. Based on the determined user cohort and the assessed task, a drone of the drone-based system provides help to the one or more users as the one or more users assemble the object. The drone-based system may comprise a drone and one or more memories and computer readable code and one or more processors. The one or more processors, in response to execution of the computer readable code, cause the drone-based system to perform operations. The drone-based system may be only the drone or the drone and one or more servers.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with audio filtering components includes a background noise-producing component, a background microphone, and a noise emitter. The background noise-producing component is configured to produce a background noise. The background microphone is positioned within a proximity sufficiently close to collect interfering noise from the background noise producing component. The background microphone is configured to collect audio data including the background noise. The noise emitter is disposed within a proximity sufficiently close to the background noise-producing component to reduce the interfering noise. The noise emitter is configured to emit an audio signal having a reverse phase of the audio data collected by the background microphone.
