Abstract: Observing an observation area wider than a cruising distance of a drone, an acquiring observation data of all observation sections and analyzing all the observation area, even when it is impossible for the operator to go to the observation base due to a failure of a traffic infrastructure and when a failure of a communication infrastructure occurs. The drone flies through the observation section from the observation base, where the drone is on standby, to a next observation base to observe, to transmit all observation data after a first observation section stored in the drone to the next drone on standby at the observation base when the drone lands at the next observation base, and to deliver observation data of all observation sections to the observation base, which is a destination, by sequentially repeating the performance of the transmitting of data between the drones in all observation sections.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for synchronizing the operation of a first shutter of a first camera with the operation of a second shutter of a second camera without a physical tether between the first and second cameras. The method includes: receiving a global positioning system (GPS) pulse-per-second (PPS) signal at the first and second cameras; and in response to a unique timing pulse in the PPS signal, simultaneously actuating the first and second shutters.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a path panning algorithm for fixed-wing aerial vehicles that may be employed, particularly for monitoring of long linear infrastructures. The applicants' earlier patent applications address turn angle constraints for fixed wing aerial and maintaining transmission continuity in presence of coverage holes by imposing a plurality of constraints along with storage constraints. The present disclosure addresses a technical challenge of simultaneously meeting multiple objectives; particularly distance cost and communication cost while satisfying the plurality of constraints that enable pruning of feasible paths in a 3D Euclidean navigation space to obtain a set of optimal paths for surveillance of a target under consideration.

Abstract: Unmanned vehicle (UV) movement and data control may include controlling a UV according to a movement plan. Formatted movement and status metadata may be received from a sensor of the UV during movement of the UV. The movement and status metadata may include time and location information for the UV during the movement of the UV. An unformatted data stream may be received from the sensor of the UV. The time and location information may be injected into metadata of the unformatted data stream to generate a time and location correlated (TLC) stream. The TLC stream may be analyzed to identify an event related to the UV, and a notification related to the event may be generated.
