Abstract: A mobile calibration room may be used for calibrating one or more sensors used on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A system can include folding or collapsible walls to enable the system to be moved between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the system can comprise a calibration room including one or more 2D or 3D targets used to calibrate one or more sensors (e.g., cameras) on a UAV. The system can include a turntable to rotate the UAV about a first axis during calibration. The system can also include a cradle to rotate the UAV around, or translate the UAV along, a second axis. The turntable can include a frame to rotate the UAV around a third axis during calibration. The mobile calibration room can be coupled to a vehicle to enable the mobile calibration room to be moved between locations.

Abstract: Imaging data or other data captured using a camera may be classified based on data captured using another sensor that is calibrated with the camera and operates in a different modality. Where a digital camera configured to capture visual images is calibrated with another sensor such as a thermal camera, a radiographic camera or an ultraviolet camera, and such sensors capture data simultaneously from a scene, the respectively captured data may be processed to detect one or more objects therein. A probability that data depicts one or more objects of interest may be enhanced based on data captured from calibrated sensors operating in different modalities. Where an object of interest is detected to a sufficient degree of confidence, annotated data from which the object was detected may be used to train one or more classifiers to recognize the object, or similar objects, or for any other purpose.
