  • Patent number: 9363462
    Abstract: A master-slave video playback interface in which a master video player is time based, and a slave video player displays a second video georeferenced to the first, e.g., the georeferenced frames of the second video in closest proximity to those being shown on the master player. The invention allows more efficient simultaneous viewing of multiple geo-tagged videos acquired at a singular geographical location, to compare videos, for example, collected on an oil or gas pipeline Right Of Way (ROW) at different times to monitor encroaching threats to pipeline integrity.

  • Publication number: 20110184647
    Abstract: A Widefield Airspace Imaging and Navigation System to provide UASs with wide field airspace imaging and collision avoidance capabilities. An array of optical lenses are distributed throughout the aircraft to provide an unobstructed view in all directions around the aircraft. Each collection lens is coupled through an optical fiber to a camera that multiplexes the several images. A processing system is connected to the wide array imaging system, and it runs an image interpolation program for resolving a background image and for distinguishing objects that are not moving with the background. In addition, a navigation control program reads the image interpolation software and, upon detection of an approaching object, implements a rule-based avoidance maneuver by sending an appropriate signal to the existing UAS autopilot.
