Publication number: 20240135658Abstract: Generating a location-specific three-dimensional model in response to a location query can provide users with a better understanding of a location through providing better interactivity, better perspective, and better understanding of dimensionality. Generation of the models can be enabled by leveraging a three-dimensional asset database and segmentation methods. The location-specific models can provide further utility by further including situation specific simulated effects, such as simulated weather or traffic.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2024Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Ignacio Garcia Dorado, Charles Goran, Jordi Serrano Berbel, Luke Barrington, Bilawal Singh Sidhu, Thomas Windheuser, Thomas Robert Escobar, Jan Stria

Publication number: 20220050472Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems that help facilitate the summoning and loading of a pickup and delivery unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In particular, a computing system may display a graphical interface including an interface feature that indicates UAV assignments. That computing system may receive a message including a UAV identifier that identifies a particular UAV assigned to a particular item based on a UAV-assignment request for the particular item. And the computing system may use the received UAV identifier as a basis for displaying, on the graphical interface, (i) a graphical identifier of the particular UAV assigned to the particular item based on the UAV-assignment request for the particular item and (ii) a graphical identifier of the particular item.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2021Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: Luke Barrington, Jonathan Lesser

Patent number: 10176194Abstract: A crowdsourced search and locate platform has been developed and put into practice. A plurality of geospatial images of a geographical region of interest are presented to a plurality of participants in an internet mediated crowdsourcing campaign for the purpose of identifying and tagging specific features of interest to the campaign administrator. An algorithm of the invention, CrowdRank, monitors the identification accuracy of the participants both absolute and compared to other participants calculating a score used to weight each identification made by that user. CrowdRank also chooses images to maximize campaign efficiency and calculates the confidence level of each feature identification.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: DigitalGlobe, Inc.Inventors: Shay Har-Noy, Luke Barrington, Nathan Ricklin
