  • Patent number: 12379731
    Abstract: Described herein are systems for roof scan using an unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, some methods include capturing, using an unmanned aerial vehicle, an overview image of a roof of a building from above the roof; presenting a suggested bounding polygon overlaid on the overview image to a user; determining a bounding polygon based on the suggested bounding polygon and user edits; based on the bounding polygon, determining a flight path including a sequence of poses of the unmanned aerial vehicle with respective fields of view at a fixed height that collectively cover the bounding polygon; fly the unmanned aerial vehicle to a sequence of scan poses with horizontal positions matching respective poses of the flight path and vertical positions determined to maintain a consistent distance above the roof; and scanning the roof from the sequence of scan poses to generate a three-dimensional map of the roof.

  • Patent number: 12337965
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for structure scan using an unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, some methods include accessing a three-dimensional map of a structure; generating facets based on the three-dimensional map, wherein the facets are respectively a polygon on a plane in three-dimensional space that is fit to a subset of the points in the three-dimensional map; generating a scan plan based on the facets, wherein the scan plan includes a sequence of poses for an unmanned aerial vehicle to assume to enable capture, using image sensors of the unmanned aerial vehicle, of images of the structure; causing the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly to assume a pose corresponding to one of the sequence of poses of the scan plan; and capturing one or more images of the structure from the pose.

  • Publication number: 20250067879
    Abstract: A system and method are described for mitigating the jamming or spoofing of information that is used in a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) geolocation system. In an area of interest where accurate geolocation information is critical—for example, at an airport, harbour, or other locations where accurate navigation is critical—several receiving stations having known and pre-determined geolocations are positioned. These receiving stations receive location signals from a constellation of geolocation satellites, and send the information about received signals to a central processing hub. The processing hub includes facilities to compare location information received by a particular receiving station and to determine whether the location information received by that receiving station from a particular satellite is consistent with known location information about that receiving station.

  • Patent number: 12189389
    Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), control a propulsion mechanism of the UAV to cause the UAV to navigate to a plurality of positions in relation to a scan target. Using one or more image sensors of the UAV, a first image of the scan target is captured from a first position of the plurality of positions, and a second image of the scan target is captured from a second position of the plurality of positions. A disparity is determined between the first image captured at the first position and the second image captured at the second position. A three-dimensional model corresponding to the scan target is determined based in part on the disparity determined between the first image and the second image.

  • Patent number: 12169406
    Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors of an aerial vehicle access a scan plan including a sequence of poses for the aerial vehicle to assume to capture, using the one or more image sensors, images of a scan target. A next pose of the scan plan is checked for obstructions, and based at least on detection of an obstruction, the one or more processors determine whether a backup pose is available for capturing an image of the targeted point orthogonally along a normal of the targeted point. Responsive to determining that the backup pose is unavailable for capturing an image of the targeted point orthogonally along the normal of the targeted point, image capture of the targeted point is performed at an oblique angle to the normal of the targeted point.

  • Patent number: 12114284
    Abstract: One or more location-based clients can be activated on a mobile device for providing location-based services. The location-based clients can be provided with information (e.g., presets, defaults) related to the current location and/or mode of the mobile device. The information can be obtained from one or more network resources. In some implementations, a location-based client can concurrently display map and vehicle information related to a location of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 12025983
    Abstract: In some examples, an image of a scan target is presented in a user interface on a display associated with a computing device. The user interface receives at least one user input indicating at least one point in a perimeter or edge of a volume for encompassing the scan target presented in the image of the scan target. A graphical representation of the volume in relation to the image of the scan target is generated in the user interface. Information for defining a location of at least a portion of the volume in three-dimensional space is sent to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to cause, at least in part, the UAV to scan at least a portion of the scan target corresponding to the volume.
