  • Publication number: 20230009954
    Abstract: The subject matter discloses a method of asset change detection using images, the method comprising steps executed by processing circuitry, the steps comprising: receiving at least one image of an asset captured by an image capturing device; receiving at least one attribute of a task of detecting a change in the asset using the received at least one image, at least one of the at least one attribute being one of the group consisting of: an attribute measured by a sensor, an attribute extracted from a website, an attribute retrieved from a database, an attribute input by a user, and an attribute encoded in computer code; selecting a reference image among a plurality of reference images of the asset according to at least one criterion based on the received at least one attribute of the task of detecting the change in the asset; computing an asset-difference pixel map, using the selected reference image and the image captured by the image capturing device; and detecting the change in the asset, using the computed

  • Patent number: 11454988
    Abstract: There is provided a method of automatically landing a drone on a landing pad having thereon guiding-elements arranged in a pattern relative to a central region of the landing pad, comprising: receiving first image(s) captured by a camera of the drone, processing the first image(s) to compute a segmentation mask according to an estimate of a location of the landing pad, receiving second image(s) captured by the camera, processing the second image(s) according to the segmentation mask to compute a segmented region and extracting from the segmented region guiding-element(s), determining a vector for each of the extracted guiding-element(s), and aggregating the vectors to compute an estimated location of the central region of the landing pad, and navigating and landing the drone on the landing pad according to the estimated location of the central region of the landing pad.
