From the three dimensional model a lower altitude closer inspection flight path is defined and executed.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus estimates a curvature of the own lane ahead of the own vehicle based on both left and right markings in a captured image and performs a steering control of the own vehicle based on the estimated curvature of the own lane. The control unit determines the direction of the own vehicle and determines whether a change in the road slope is present. When the vehicle control apparatus determines that the direction of the own vehicle changes and the road slope ahead of the own vehicle changes, the vehicle control apparatus applies a restriction to the steering control performed based on the curvature of the own lane.

Abstract: An information processing method is provided to reduce an amount of data to be monitored in an onboard system of a vehicle. In the method, detection results that indicate whether an abnormality is included in communication data on an onboard network are obtained, and a first log transmission instruction is generated to cause periodic transmission of a first log from the onboard system to a server device. The first log is a log of the communication data. A second log transmission instruction is generated to cause transmission of a second log from the onboard system to the server device in a case of the detection results indicating the abnormality is included in the communication data. The second log is a log of the communication data and includes an amount of data generated per unit time that is greater than the first log.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generation of a safe navigation path for a vehicle. The safe navigation path is generated by a navigation path generation system. The navigation path generation system receives a reference path from a source location to a destination location. Further, generates scan lines from the reference path to the boundaries present on either side of the reference path. Further, the navigation path generation system generates segment along the boundaries. Further, using the generated segments the navigation path generation system generates a safe navigation path along the centre, between the boundaries present on either side of the reference path. Navigation of the vehicle along the safe path ensures the safety of the vehicle and the people in the vehicle especially when the vehicle is an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for presenting an Augmented Reality (AR) visualization of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). A viewing device integrated into a vehicle gathers sensor data from one or more sensors. The sensor data describes a speed and trajectory of the vehicle and a geographic location of a physical object in relation to the vehicle. The viewing device determines, based on the sensor data, that a threat level of the vehicle colliding with the physical object meets or exceeds a threshold threat level. In response to determining that the threat level of the vehicle colliding with the physical object meets or exceeds the threshold threat level, the viewing device determines an automated movement of the vehicle to avoid colliding with the physical object. The viewing device then presents, on a heads up display of the vehicle, virtual content depicting the automated movement, and executes the automated movement.
