Patents by Inventor James R. Peverill

James R. Peverill has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11235874
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the automated aerial application of chemicals onto agricultural areas. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are configured to selectively attach to modular sprayer payloads, each payload having a payload reservoir, a spray nozzle, a pump, and a battery. A ground station having landing pads for the UAVs is configured to coordinate and automatically fill at least one payload reservoir from a material tank and provide the payload to a given UAV. A control subsystem can determine a mission plan and command the UAV to selectively deliver the contents of the payload reservoir to at least a portion of one or more agricultural areas.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11205073
    Abstract: Systems and methods to analyze visible, near infrared, and thermal imagery of a land parcel in order to track and report changes to that land. A set of image processing techniques and algorithms can be utilized to generate composite images, align the imagery, compute differences, detect which features have changed, and meaningfully display the changed features. A moving window calculates differences in intensity between a first composite image and a second composite image and compares the differences against a threshold value. An interactive overlay user interface allows a user to adjust the magnitude and particular areas to be analyzed and presents the change.

  • Patent number: 11116145
    Abstract: Systems and methods to collect, combine, store, and process remote sensing and imaging information as well for agricultural area as a raster image data system for handling both remotely-sensed aerial image data and land-based sensor data, as well as previous agricultural treatments, in order to optimize future agricultural treatments to variable resolutions of the area of vegetation corresponding to that represented by a pixel in a raster image data system of the area.
