Abstract: The present invention aims to control position of flying object with respect to a structural object in a situation where it is difficult to perform positioning based on radio signals transmitted from a satellite. A position identification unit identifies position of flying object in troublesome GPS signal reception space, using different methods for coordinate axes. Specifically, position identification unit identifies position, on Z axis (first coordinate axis), of flying object in troublesome GPS signal reception space, based on distance from flying object to structural object (distance measured at time of position identification), and identifies positions, on X and Y axes (second coordinate axes), of flying object based on change in shape of structural object in respective axis directions of X and Y axes (second coordinate axes) (history of distance from flying object to bridge B measured multiple times until position identification).

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) uses a first baseband processor to establish a first communication link with a ground station of a wireless network and a second baseband processor that establishes a second communication link with a user device. Communication data is routed between the user device and the core network through the first communication link and the second communication link. The UAV receives control commands from a ground-based UAV controller that direct the UAV to travel according to a flight trajectory that is proximate to the user device.

Abstract: A method and system for creating a point cloud are disclosed. A first image is captured by a first camera sensor and a second image is captured by a second camera sensor. The first and the second image have an area of overlap. Location of the first camera relative to the second camera is predetermined and each of the first and the second camera is having a field of view of more than 180 degrees. Based on the area of overlap, the first and the second image are stitched to create a composite stitched image. In one aspect, depth information from the area of overlap is extracted based on the predetermined location and a point cloud is created from otherwise to be discarded image data in the area of overlap.
