Publication number: 20230298209Abstract: Boresight and lever arm calibration of cameras and scanners on UAVs or mobile platforms is performed by optimizing the flight/travel path of the UAV/platform relative to control points or tie points. The flight/travel paths account for the potential bias of boresight angles, lever arm and times delays to produce an accurate estimation of the orientation of these cameras/scanners relative to the GNSS/INS coordinate system o the UAV/platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventor: Ayman F. Habib

Publication number: 20230196601Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the volume of a stockpile are disclosed. Embodiments include one or more detectors (sensors and/or cameras) and processing of the data gathered from the detectors in a manner that provides accurate volume estimates without requiring the exact location of the detectors. Some embodiments utilize one or more image cameras and LiDAR sensors to obtain data about the stockpile and compute the volume of the stockpile using one or more of the following procedures: segmentation of planar features from individual scans; image-based coarse registration of sensor scans at a single station; feature matching and fine registration of sensor point clouds from a single station; coarse registration of point clouds from different stations; feature matching and fine registration of sensor point clouds from different stations; and digital surface model generation for volume estimation. Some embodiments are connectable to extendable mounts and are very easy to operate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Ayman F. HABIB, Darcy M. BULLOCK

Publication number: 20200193158Abstract: A system and method to estimate traits of plants from RBG cameras on board an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The position and orientation of the imagery together with the coordinates of sparse points along the area of interest are derived through a triangulation method. A rectified orthophoto mosaic is then generated from the imagery. The number of leaves is estimated and a model-based method is used to analyze the leaf morphology for leaf segmentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2018Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Edward John Delp, Ayman F. Habib, Fangning He, Christopher Boomsma, Javier Ribera, Yuhao Chen

Patent number: 10515436Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer-readable program, which when executed by a processor, will cause a computer to execute a computational method, the computational method including collecting an image data, wherein the collecting the image data comprises collecting a first plurality of RGB images and a second plurality of hyperspectral images. The method further includes orthorectifying the image data to produce an RGB based orthophoto and a partially rectified hyperspectral orthophoto. The method further includes selecting tie features from each of the RGB based orthophoto and the partially rectified hyperspectral orthophoto. Lastly, the method includes registering the features of the partially rectified hyperspectral orthophoto into the tie features of the RGB based orthophoto.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Purdue Research FoundationInventor: Ayman F. Habib
