Abstract: A system for taking high-resolution photographs from a vehicle-mounted camera, forming orthomosaics from video and/or multiple high-resolution photographs, and using artificial intelligence to detect and classify pavement flaws and defects in the imagery. Detection also includes the ability to capture quantifiable metrics for the defects and/or a region of interest. Three-dimensional imagery is produced from the same images as the orthomosaics. Surface and terrain map products made from the same source images capture additional details such as depth and volume. The highlighted orthomosaics and three-dimensional imagery can then be used as a basis to determine the pavement surface condition and subsequently support maintenance orders and manage pavement repairs. Further, metadata such as latitude, longitude, and altitude geo-location coordinates and sampling time can also be transferred to the output products to create a digital time history and enable analysis for preventative maintenance planning.

Abstract: A process for rapid re-configuration and customization of small satellites using additively manufactured chassis customized to create a more conformal and integrated bus design adapted to a particular payload. The additional components or subsystems of the bus required are are integrated either on the sidewalls of the additively manufactured chassis, or as the sidewalls of such chassis, while the payload is also secured or integrated via custom features that are part of the additively manufactured chassis. Chassis can be rapidly reconfigured in the design stage to adapt to a preferred vendor's application, components and subsystems, or payload specifications, an engineering change to the bus and/or payload, responsive to test data, or the like, thereafter additively manufacturing a new chassis and rapidly producing the entire small satellite.
