    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and a computer readable medium for dynamic routing of a drone. The method includes receiving a first flight mission by the drone, the first flight mission having a first cost relating to resources of the drone; flying the drone and capturing data according to the flight mission by a sensor; assessing quality of the captured data; and comparing the quality of the captured data to a pre-defined threshold. If the quality is below the threshold, continue with obtaining a second or further flight mission different from the first flight mission, and flying the drone and capturing data according to the second or further flight mission, the second or further flight mission having a second or further cost relating to resources of the drone. If the quality is equal or above the threshold, continue flying the drone and capturing data according to the current flight mission.

    Abstract: A method and a system for inertial measurement. The method includes controlling at least one imaging sensor to capture at least two consecutive images, processing the at least two consecutive images to identify at least one feature therein and determining at least one parameter associated with the at least one feature, and determining a change in a position and an orientation of the at least one imaging sensor, based upon the at least one parameter associated with the at least one feature. The at least one parameter includes at least one of: a presence or absence of the at least one feature in at least one of the at least two consecutive images, respective pixel locations of the at least one feature in the at least two consecutive images, and/or three-dimensional locations of the at least one feature with respect to the at least one imaging sensor.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an unmanned flying vehicle (UAV) operable in a plurality of operating modes including a normal operations mode, a safe landing mode and an emergency landing mode. The normal operations mode is initiated when no errors are detected in the system. The safe landing mode is initiated when one or more non-critical components of the UAV are in non-responsive mode or do not work as desired. The emergency landing mode is initiated when one or more critical components are in non-responsive mode or do not work as desired. Further, the safe landing mode overrides the normal operations mode and the emergency landing mode overrides both the normal operations mode and the safe landing mode.

    Abstract: A system having a drone and a payload frame connected to the drone, wherein the payload frame includes a mechanism for attaching at least one payload module to the payload frame and electrically coupling the at least one payload module to the payload frame. The electrical coupling includes a communication interface for communicating with a controller of the drone, and is configured to communicate a relative location of the at least one payload module in the payload frame, a weight of the at least one payload module and a volume of the at least one payload module. The controller of the drone is configured to calculate a weight distribution within the payload frame, based on the relative location of the at least one payload module, the weight of the at least one payload module and the volume of the at least one payload volume.

    Abstract: A planar imaging sensor is provided. The planar imaging sensor comprises a plurality of photo detectors, wherein the plurality of photo detectors are divided into at least a first group and a second group. The number of photo detectors in the second group is larger than the number of photo detectors in the first group. The photo detectors of the first group are configured to have a first detection window, while the photo detectors of the second group are configured to have a second detection window. The second detection window is configured to start later in time than the first detection window.
