    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes methods and apparatuses for magnetometer calibration through collection and processing of calibration data in the background and unassisted autonomous calibration maneuvers prior to a mission. As an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle is transported by the user after power up, vehicle data relevant to magnetometer calibration can be collected from the movements of the vehicle. Magnetometer calibration accuracy checks or some parts of magnetometer calibration can be performed from the data collected in the background. Based on the extent of accuracy determinations, the vehicle can further perform autonomous and unassisted maneuvers to complete magnetometer calibration before performing a mission.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a camera, one or more sensors, memory storing first instructions that define an overall mission, and memory storing one or more mission cues. The vehicle further includes one or more processors configured to execute a first part of the first instructions to perform a first part of the overall mission. The processors are configured to process at least one of the image data and the sensor data to detect a presence of at least one of the mission cues. The processors are configured to, in response to detecting a mission cue, interrupting execution of the first instructions and executing second instructions to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform a first sub-mission of the overall mission. The processors are configured to after executing the second instructions, performing a second part of the overall mission by executing a second part of the first instructions.

    Abstract: An enhanced distance detection system for an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle is described here. The distance detection system includes a distance detector, which may have a limited scope of distance detection, and a directional controller, which allows extending the dimension or scope of the distance detector as the vehicle travels and performs missions. The directional controller can change the detection direction of the distance detector with a motorized gimbal or functionally similar system, and the change in the detection direction can be integrated with the status of and other instructions executed by the vehicle.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a closely integrated emergency recovery and operation systems for an unmanned aerial vehicle with built-in levels of redundancy and independence to maximize the likelihood of a controlled velocity landing. The unmanned aerial vehicle may include multiple processors and multiple state estimating modules such as inertial measurement units to independently determine the operational and error status of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Base on predictive or projected computations, the emergency recovery system may determine a suitable time for a recovery action, such as parachute deployment, and execute the recovery action.
