Publication number: 20250138531Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors of an aerial vehicle determine an update to a three-dimensional (3D) model corresponding to a scan target to scan according to a scan plan. Based at least on the update to the 3D model, the one or more processors determine a set of one or more uncovered points of the 3D model that are not covered by the scan plan. Additionally, the one or more processors determine an updated scan plan based at least on determining one or more poses to include in the scan plan for scanning the one or more uncovered points of the 3D model. The one or more processors, control the aerial vehicle to scan the scan target with the one or more image sensors according to the updated scan plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2025Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Peter HENRY, Jack ZHU, Brian RICHMAN, Harrison ZHENG, Hayk MARTIROSYAN, Matthew DONAHOE, Abraham BACHRACH, Adam BRY, Ryan David KENNEDY, Himel MONDAL, Quentin Allen Wah Yen DELEPINE

Patent number: 12282524Abstract: A computer accesses a first symbolic expression for an output matrix as a function of an input matrix at a computing device comprising processing circuitry and memory. The computer computes a first Jacobian of the input matrix with respect to an input tangent space. The computer computes a second Jacobian of the output matrix with respect to the input matrix. The computer computes a third Jacobian of an output tangent space with respect to the input matrix. The computer applies symbolic matrix multiplication to the first Jacobian, the second Jacobian, and the third Jacobian to obtain a second symbolic expression for the output tangent space with respect to the input tangent space. The computer provides a representation of the second symbolic expression, the second symbolic expression representing a computed tangent-space Jacobian.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Skydio, Inc.Inventors: Hayk Martirosyan, Aaron Christopher Miller, Nathan Leo Bucki, Bradley Matthew Solliday, Ryan David Kennedy, Jack Louis Zhu, Teodor Tomic, Yixiao Sun, Josiah Timothy VanderMey, Gareth Benoit Cross, Peter Benjamin Henry, Dominic William Pattison, Samuel Shenghung Wang, Kristen Marie Holtz, Harrison Zheng

Patent number: 12229269Abstract: Methods and apparatus for restricted deployment of targeted processor firmware updates. During a patch enabling per-work flow, service entitlement license information comprising one of more service entitlements is generated and provisioned on one or more computing platforms. A restricted deployment microcode (uCode) update release (aka uCode patch) targeted for platforms having CPUs and/or XPUs with certain part identifier is sent to the one or more platforms. Run-time software and/or firmware on the platforms are executed to access the provisioned service entitlement license information, which is used to authentic and verify the restricted deployment uCode update release using a service entitlement having a part identifier associated with the platform's CPU. In one solution, authentication is performed using a hash-matching scheme and verification is used to verify the platform is properly licensed to load uCode included in the restricted deployment microcode (uCode) update release into the CPU.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2020Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Chinmay Ashok, Vasudevan Srinivasan, Atanas K.

Patent number: 12189389Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), control a propulsion mechanism of the UAV to cause the UAV to navigate to a plurality of positions in relation to a scan target. Using one or more image sensors of the UAV, a first image of the scan target is captured from a first position of the plurality of positions, and a second image of the scan target is captured from a second position of the plurality of positions. A disparity is determined between the first image captured at the first position and the second image captured at the second position. A three-dimensional model corresponding to the scan target is determined based in part on the disparity determined between the first image and the second image.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: SKYDIO, INC.Inventors: Peter Henry, Jack Zhu, Brian Richman, Harrison Zheng, Hayk Martirosyan, Matthew Donahoe, Abraham Bachrach, Adam Bry, Ryan David Kennedy, Himel Mondal, Quentin Allen Wah Yen Delepine

Patent number: 12169406Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors of an aerial vehicle access a scan plan including a sequence of poses for the aerial vehicle to assume to capture, using the one or more image sensors, images of a scan target. A next pose of the scan plan is checked for obstructions, and based at least on detection of an obstruction, the one or more processors determine whether a backup pose is available for capturing an image of the targeted point orthogonally along a normal of the targeted point. Responsive to determining that the backup pose is unavailable for capturing an image of the targeted point orthogonally along the normal of the targeted point, image capture of the targeted point is performed at an oblique angle to the normal of the targeted point.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2023Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: SKYDIO, INC.Inventors: Peter Henry, Jack Zhu, Brian Richman, Harrison Zheng, Hayk Martirosyan, Matthew Donahoe, Abraham Bachrach, Adam Bry, Ryan David Kennedy, Himel Mondal, Quentin Allen Wah Yen Delepine
