  • Publication number: 20260138600
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for predicting collisions between uncrewed vehicles and preventing those collisions. A collision prevention system may generate collision spheroids for a multitude of uncrewed vehicles. Those collision spheroids may represent a plurality of three-dimensional points around each uncrewed vehicle. When the collision prevention system determines that collision spheroids corresponding to two uncrewed vehicles intersect, the collision prevention system may determine that a collision is imminent and may attempt to prevent the collision by causing one or both uncrewed vehicles to change velocity.

  • Publication number: 20240078763
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for determining three-dimensional locations of objects within a video stream and linking those objects with known objects. An image processing system may receive an image and image metadata and detect an object and a location of the object within the image. The estimated location of each object is then determined within the three-dimensional space. In addition, the image processing system may retrieve, for a plurality of known objects, a plurality of known locations within the three-dimensional space and determine, based on estimated location and the known location data, which of the known objects matches the detected object in the image. An indicator for the object is then generated at the location of the object within the image.
