  • Patent number: 12137674
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for underwater feed movement detection. In one aspect, the method may include the actions of obtaining images captured at different time points, where the images are captured by a camera and indicate feed that has been dispersed by a feeder for aquatic livestock inside an enclosure; determining, for each image, respective locations of the feed indicated by the image; determining, from the respective locations of the feed, a respective movement of the feed over the different time points; determining, based on the respective feed movement of the feed over the different time points, water current movement within the enclosure for the aquatic livestock; and outputting an indication of the water current movement.

  • Publication number: 20240126145
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for automated underwater camera system control for aquaculture systems. An underwater camera system includes (i) a line on which the underwater camera system is mounted, the line detachably affixed to a feeder that provides feed for aquatic livestock, (ii) a sensor manager, (iii) one or more sensors that are managed by the sensor manager, (iv) a line navigation controller, and (v) a first actuator for controlling a distance between the feeder and the underwater camera system. The one or more sensors obtain sensor data and the line navigation controller of the underwater camera system determines a distance to position the underwater camera system beneath the feeder to obtain additional sensor data. The line navigation controller transmits a first message to the first actuator to position the underwater camera system at the determined distance beneath the feeder.

  • Publication number: 20240107168
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for adjusting an aquaculture camera mounting system. A current combined field of view of two or more cameras that are mounted on an adjustable camera mounting structure in an environment can be determined based upon a current configuration of the adjustable camera mounting structure. A target field of view for the two or more cameras that are mounted on the adjustable camera mounting structure can be determined. Based at least on the field of view target and the current combined field of view, an adjustment parameter for the adjustable camera mounting structure can be determined. The adjustable camera mounting structure can be adjusted according to the adjustment parameter to provide a field of view in accordance with the field of view target.

  • Publication number: 20210242931
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology relate to an environmental sensor system that uses different types of detector units as part of an onboard lightning detection and evaluation system for a high altitude platform (HAP) operating in the stratosphere. These sensor suites may be employed with balloons and other high altitude platforms during operation in the stratosphere. Onboard data processing and analysis may be done either in real time or on stored data sets. The processing system can use the gathered sensor information to mitigate issues related to lightning-related transients. The information can also be used in route planning and real-time navigation of HAPs when hazardous conditions are detected. It can also be employed in a back-end control system for long-term route planning and fleet management.

  • Patent number: 10499995
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a navigation method and system which does not require a remotely located tracking system, or additional targets or other devices to be installed on the patient or object being tracked. The system uses one flexible component in physical contact with the patient/object and measures relative position as a function of forces that are generated by the flexing component as it is bent. The system translates forces into navigational commands for a robot, other manipulator, or for human manual navigation. A method for transforming a pre-planned motion pathway into a sequence of forces for this mode of navigation is also described. This system is also applicable in the field of manufacturing robotics, where the locations of objects or assemblies may not be precisely known or constant. The method and system disclosed herein can be used to maintain known position of an object/assembly or to navigate movement of a robot relative to an object/assembly as in the case of machining.
