  • Publication number: 20240262528
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for capturing images is disclosed. An example embodiment comprises a first image capturing device mounted to a mounting structure; a second image capturing device mounted to the mounting structure; and a third image capturing device mounted to the mounting structure, wherein the first image capturing device, the second image capturing device, and the third image capturing device are arranged in an octahedral array for capturing a 360 degree image, wherein the first image capturing device, the second image capturing device, and the third image capturing device face outward from a center of an octahedral shape that defines the octahedral array, and wherein image data captured by the first image capturing device, the second image capturing device, and the third image capturing device are combined to generate the 360 degree image.

  • Patent number: 10981670
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for capturing an image from an aerial vehicle. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a boom, a motor, a propeller, a controller, a top plate, a bottom plate, and an image capturing device. The boom may be an arm that extends outwardly. The motor may be connected to an end of the boom. The propeller may be connected to the motor. The motor may be configured to rotate the propeller to lift the system, the apparatus, and/or the device into flight when the motor is engaged. The controller may be configured to control the motor. The top plate may be connected to a first end of the boom. The bottom plate may be connected to a second end of the boom. The image capturing device may be mounted to the top plate or the bottom plate.
