Abstract: This camera unit (14) comprises a high-resolution rolling shutter camera (16) and one or several low-resolution global shutter cameras (18), for example monochromic spectral cameras. All the cameras are oriented in the same direction and are able to be triggered together to collect simultaneously a high-resolution image (I0) and at least one low-resolution image (I1-I4) of a same scene viewed by the drone. Image processing means (22) determine the distortions of the wobble type present in the high-resolution image and absent from the low-resolution images, and combine the high-resolution image (I0) and the low-resolution images (I1-I4) to deliver as an output a high-resolution image (I0) corrected for these distortions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an automatically deployed wireless network are provided. According to one embodiment, an access point controller (AC) determines the existence of a network anomaly at a position of a wireless network that is managed by the AC. Responsive thereto, the AC causes an unmanned vehicle that carries a movable access point (AP) to carry the movable AP to the position or proximate thereto and causes the movable AP to provide wireless network service to an area encompassing the position by sending a dispatch command to the unmanned vehicle. The dispatch command instructs the unmanned vehicle to move to the position or proximate thereto.

Abstract: A camera drone with a function of providing real-time captured images in a certain angle (e.g., vertical to the horizon) is disclosed. The camera drone includes multiple rotor wings, a support structure, a wireless transmitter, a controller, and a camera device. The camera device includes a processor, a gravity sensor, a gyroscope, and an image module. The image module is configured to capture an original image in a real time manner. The gravity sensor and the gyroscope are used to calculate a current dip angle (i.e., inclination of a geological plane down from the horizon) of the camera drone. The current dip angle is used to calculate an angle of rotation. The camera device then generates an edited image based on the original image and the angle of rotation.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for providing flight response to flight-restricted regions. The location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be compared with a location of a flight-restricted region. If needed a flight-response measure may be taken by the UAV to prevent the UAV from flying in a no-fly zone. Different flight-response measures may be taken based on the distance between the UAV and the flight-restricted region and the rules of a jurisdiction within which the UAV falls.
