Patent number: 11194034Abstract: Embodiments include a system and a method for determining a geographic location corresponding to pixels in a scan. For a scan of an area including a plurality of pixels, measurements of at least one physical property may be received. An embodiment may include identifying in the scan at least a first pixel and a second pixel corresponding to known at least a first and a second geographical locations; creating a set of pixel values vectors, for each pixel values vector calculating a correlation factor between the pixel values vector and a vector that includes the measurements; selecting a pixel values vector, from the set of pixel values vectors, for which a correlation factor higher than a threshold value was calculated; and determining the actual geographic location of the area represented by each pixel in the selected pixel values vector based on the known geographic locations.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Utilis Israel Ltd.Inventors: Lauren Guy, Yael Freankel, Yuval Lorig

Patent number: 10884128Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of determining underground liquid content (e.g., water, sewage, etc.). Embodiments may include: receiving, from a radiofrequency radiation sensor, a main scan of an area, the main scan may include reflections from the area at RF range, and receiving typical roughness values of one or more types of water sources. Embodiments may further include: filtering from the main scan undesired water source types according to their typical roughness values, identifying a desired type of water source in the filtered main scan and receiving from the RF radiation sensor a set of scans of the area, each scan of the area includes reflections in the RF range taken prior to the receiving of the main scan. Embodiments may include calculating the underground water content at locations in the area based on the identified first type of water source and the received set of scans.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Utilis Israel Ltd.Inventor: Lauren Guy
