Abstract: A system estimates quality of a digital image by accessing a corpus of digital images of one or more subjects, such as a facet of a property. The system will receive, for at least a subset of the corpus, an indicator that one or more patches of each image in the subset is out of focus. The system will train a classifier by obtaining a feature representation of each pixel in each image, along with a focus value that represents an extent to which each pixel in the image is in focus or out of focus. The system will use the classifier to analyze pixels of a new digital image and assess whether each analyzed pixel in the new digital image is in focus or out of focus. The system may use the image to assess whether an incident occurred, such as storm-related damage to the property.

Abstract: An arena includes a porous surface through which an airflow is output, thereby providing lift for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to push the UAV away from the porous surface. The airflow may also provide thrust to push the UAV in a direction that is parallel to the porous surface. The UAV may include one or more propellers that can provide lift, thrust, or both to the UAV. The airflow may be modified over a duration of time to modify lift or thrust to the UAV. The airflow may be modified based on regions of the arena to modify lift or thrust in different regions of the arena. The arena may include a scoreboard to display a score that may be modified as a result of actions undertaken by the UAV. Two or more UAVs may be used to play a game via the arena.

Abstract: An orientation control method for a drone (3) is disclosed. The method receives wireless signal sent wirelessly from a target device (5) by at least three receivers (33) arranged on the drone (5), and detects the phase of the wireless signal respectively received by each of the three receivers (33) with a phase detector (34) of the drone. Next, the method calculates current relative orientation of the drone (3) with respect the target device (5) through a phase differences of the three phases of the three receivers (33). Next, the method controls the drone (3) to move to orientate user-designated direction according to the calculated current relative orientation and a directional signal sent wirelessly from a remote control (4).

Abstract: A drone security system is revealed. The system includes a plurality of positioning units, a mainframe, at least one drone base, and a mobile device. Each positioning unit consists of a positioning sensing module and a signal transmitting module. The mainframe is wirelessly connected to the positioning units and is formed by a processor, a signal receiving module, a central data center and an information display module. The drone base is in electrical connection with the mainframe and each drone base includes at least one drone that is disposed with a deterrent device. The mobile device is in electrical connection with the mainframe and the at least one drone base. Thereby safety guards required can be replaced by drones that reach intrusion area quickly and synchronously so that security of the area is ensured.
