  • Publication number: 20240070873
    Abstract: To enable high-speed autonomous flight of a flight object. A three-dimensional real-time observation result is generated on the basis of self-position estimation information and three-dimensional distance measurement information. A prior map corresponding to a three-dimensional real-time observation result is acquired. The three-dimensional real-time observation result and the prior map are aligned. After the alignment, the three-dimensional real-time observation result is expanded on the basis of the prior map. A flight route is set on the basis of the three-dimensional real-time observation result having been expanded. In the flight object such as a drone, a somewhat long flight route can be accurately calculated at a time in a global behavior plan, which enables high-speed autonomous flight of the flight object.

  • Publication number: 20230206491
    Abstract: To realize a configuration enabling processing of displaying a flight path of a drone on a live-action image of the drone and the like. A data processing unit of a user terminal sets a real object included in a camera-captured image as a marker, generates marker reference coordinates with a configuration point of the set marker as an origin, and transmits position data on the marker reference coordinates to a mobile device such as a drone with the marker reference coordinates as coordinates shared with another device, for example, a mobile device such as a drone. For example, the data processing unit transforms the destination position of the drone or the position of the tracking target from the coordinate position on the user terminal camera coordinates to the coordinate position on the marker reference coordinates by applying the coordinate transformation matrix, and transmits the transformed coordinate position to the drone.

  • Patent number: 11386565
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal processing apparatus and a signal processing method, a program, and a moving body that allow improvement of estimation accuracy for a self-position. One of a plurality of wavelengths of light is selected, and the light with the selected wavelength is projected. Reflected light of the projected light is received that is reflected from a reflector corresponding to an object having a reflectance higher than a predetermined reflectance, and the reflector is detected. This prevents interference of light projected by another vehicle, enabling appropriate detection of the reflector and improvement of estimation accuracy for a self-position. The present disclosure is applicable to an in-vehicle system.
