Abstract: Aspects related to a resource-constrained system are described herein that can provide object storage services after a service interruption is resolved, even if all of the transactions that were pending and incomplete prior to the service interruption have not yet been recovered and/or executed. For example, file systems implemented by computing systems of the resource-constrained system may treat each file or directory as a separate object. Thus, a transaction directed to one file may not affect the file's directory or other files in the directory. As a result, the resource-constrained system can achieve read-after-write consistency without first recovering and executing the pending, incomplete transactions. Instead, read-after-write consistency for an object can be achieved simply by completing any pending, incomplete transaction directed to that object.

Abstract: A method and system for developing a flight plan for taking images from an area of interest is disclosed. A series of trajectories is determined. Each trajectory is determined based on a logarithmic spiral curve derived from a range of predetermined basis angles and selecting a constant tangent angle between a radial line from the location of an image sensor to a target location, and a tangent line to the logarithmic spiral curve at the location of the image sensor. A set of trajectories from the series of trajectories is selected. The selected trajectories are scaled to cover the area of interest. The selected trajectories are transformed to coordinates corresponding to the area of interest. The set of scaled and transformed trajectories are stored as the flight plan for taking images of the area of interest.

Abstract: A path finding system using a series of networked receiver beacons is disclosed. The system includes receiver beacons placed on a path. Each of the receiver beacons include a transceiver receiving and sending signals and a location indicator such as a LED, that when activated indicates the location of the receiver beacon. Each of the receiver beacons include a controller coupled to the indicator and the transceiver. The controller is operable to receive an activation signal to activate the indicator. A transmitter is paired with each of the receiver beacons. The transmitter includes a transceiver to send an activation signal to at least one of the receiver beacons. The receiver beacon receives the activation signal and activates the indicator. The receiver beacon also relays the activation signal to at least another receiver beacon.

Abstract: A method and system for processing digital image data taken from a three-dimensional topographic area including terrain and a right of way including a first and a second object to establish a clearance surface to define clearance violations within a boundary area. Waypoints are located to define a centerline and the boundary area to be analyzed. Vegetation coordinate points in the scene are determined from the digital image data. Ground coordinate points are determined from the digital image data. A clearance surface segment is constructed within the boundary area between the first and second object. The clearance surface is determined from the location of the first and second object and clearance criteria. The clearance surface is used to define a violation region.
