    Abstract: A method for capturing images of large target area using a single low FOV high resolution camera mounted on an Aerial Vehicle for 3D reconstruction is disclosed. The camera captures sets of images consisting of a nadir image a plurality of oblique images at predefined waypoints or as the Aerial Vehicle travels along a flight path. Oblique images are captured in two perpendicular directions by tilting camera about a single tilt axis at one time thereby preventing bidirectional distortion of objects in images. Further, first direction and second direction define a quadrant of area below the Aerial Vehicle. Oblique images along two perpendicular directions are captured either by using roll and pitch axes, or by using a single tilt axis and a pan axis of camera control mechanism wherein using pan axis the single tilt axis is reoriented in a perpendicular orientation to capture oblique images in perpendicular direction.

    Abstract: A method for capturing images of large target area using a single camera configured with an aerial vehicle (AV) for reconstructing a high-resolution image is disclosed including the steps of moving the AV over the area of interest along a straight path; capturing a first set of images of an area down below by pointing an optical axis of the camera towards a first side of the straight path such that the optical axis makes a first predefined angle with vertical; and capturing a second set of images of the area down below by pointing the optical axis of the camera towards a second side of the straight path such that the optical axis makes a second predefined angle with respect to the vertical. Side overlap between the first and second set of images is optimized to account for error in camera movement.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating a single vertex list/point-cloud list of an object for rendering the object in different complexity levels. The generated single vertex list comprises a large number of points obtained from external surfaces of the real-time object for detailed 3D representation and the list is updated with new batches of received point cloud vertices. The points are rendered from the single vertex list based on the correlation between zoom level and point retention factor. A scene's zoom/scaling level is altered by changing the distance of a camera to the objects represented by the rendered point cloud.

    Abstract: An improved battery pack 100/200 is disclosed, having a plurality of cylindrical cells 102 arranged in parallel disposition in rows 104/204 and columns 106/206 such that positive and negative terminals of any of the cells and the closest surrounding cells are oppositely placed to minimise the overall magnetic field due to the internal current of the cells by the opposite magnetic field of the oppositely placed adjacent cells. The positive and negative terminals at any of or both of upper and lower ends of the cells 102 in a group of adjacently located columns are connected by criss-cross connections 108/208 to provide parallel electric connection of the cells 102 in groups of adjacently located columns 106/206. Criss-cross connections 108/208 pertaining to the terminals of opposite polarity are connected by series connections 110/210 to provide series connection of the sets of cells connected in parallel by the criss-cross connections 108/208.

    Abstract: A split control system for UAV incorporating auto pilot is disclosed. Control system comprises a real-time low-level main processor, and a non-real-time high-level co-processor. The co-processor computes desired body rate values and feeds them to the main processor which may be with latency. Main processor computes one or more motor control signals based on the desired body rate values. The main processor also executes a rate damping loop algorithm based on instantaneous body rate values to generate one or more motor control signals to maintain stability of the UAV even in events of latency in desired body rate values from the co-processor. Instantaneous body rate values are either obtained directly from sensors without any latency or obtained by main processor indirectly with negligible latency. Main processor acts as an intermediate between sensors and co-processor by collecting raw sensor data and feeding the data to co-processor.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-rotor Aerial Vehicle comprising at least five arms. Pairs of coaxial contra rotating rotors/propellers are configured on each arm defining a polygon. In the event of failure of any one of the rotors/propellers, a control system incorporating an autopilot, shuts off corresponding contra rotating rotor/propeller of the pair to maintain yaw stability thereby rendering the corresponding arm non-functional; and adjusts throttles of the coaxial contra rotating rotors/propellers of remaining functional arms to maintain tilt and lift stability of the Aerial Vehicle.
