  • Patent number: 12556820
    Abstract: A system including an image capture module and a handheld module. The image capture module includes a body; an image sensor; and a mechanical stabilization system comprising a first gimbal, a second gimbal, and a third gimbal connected to the body and configured to control an orientation of the image sensor of the image capture module relative to the body. The handheld module defines a slot that is keyed to the body of the image capture module. The image capture module, when located within the handheld module, has a low profile so that the third gimbal is protected from damage by the handheld module.

  • Publication number: 20250371871
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle with an image sensor, a flight control subsystem, and one or more processors. The image sensor is configured to capture visual information. The one or more processors are configured to recognize a first pattern associated with a performer based on the visual information. Determine a first distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the first pattern. Recognize a second pattern associated with a performee based on the visual information. Determine a second distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the second pattern. Adjust the flight control of the unmanned aerial vehicle based at least on the first distance and the second distance so that the image sensor captures the performer and the performee within a single field of view. Mark a video segment with a tag where the first pattern and the second pattern overlap.

  • Publication number: 20250348066
    Abstract: A system including an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes image sensors and one or more physical computer processors. The image sensors are configured to capture images and/or video segments. The one or more physical computer processors create a user ID and/or other identifying information for a user and/or a consumer when a user and/or consumer registers with an authentication component. The processors associate the user ID and/or the other identifying information with one or more client computing platforms. The processors store the user ID and/or the other identifying information associated with the user and/or the consumer on the authentication component. The processors associate the user and/or the consumer with one or more accounts. The processors authenticate the user and/or the consumer with the authentication component so that the user and/or the consumer is permitted to access a repository of the images and/or the video segments.

  • Publication number: 20240402704
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on opposing fields of view with overlap. The UAV may include a housing, a motor, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first optical element having a first field of view greater than 180 degrees, a second optical element having a second field of view greater than 180 degrees, and one or more processors. The first optical element and the second optical element may be carried by the housing such that a centerline of the second field of view is substantially opposite from a centerline of the first field of view, and a peripheral portion of the first field of view and a peripheral portion of the second field of view overlap. Flight control for the UAV may be provided based on parallax disparity of an object within the overlapping fields of view.
