Abstract: A method comprising receiving a plurality of images of a scene captured by at least one drone; identifying features within the plurality of images; identifying similar images of the plurality of images based on the features identified within the plurality of images; comparing the similar images based on the features identified within the similar images to determine a proportion of features shared by the similar images; selecting a subset of the plurality of images that have a proportion of shared features that meets a predetermined range; generating a first 3D model of the scene from the subset of images using a first 3D model building algorithm; generating a second 3D model of the scene from the subset of images using a second 3D model building algorithm; computing errors for the first and second 3D models; and selecting as the model of the scene the first or second 3D model.

Abstract: A writing instrument that provides a magnification lens to view a logo or visual image from inside the barrel of the pen. The writing instrument has a cartridge, printable sleeve, magnification member and a pen barrel. The pen barrel is capable of accepting the printable sleeve and cartridge therethrough. The pen barrel has a first end and a second end. On the surface of the pen barrel between the first and second ends there is a magnification member. The magnification member is capable of magnifying the visual image on the printable sleeve. The printable sleeve is movable between successive positions to successively display one or more visual images with respect to the magnification member. The magnification member can be a clear or tinted lens for magnifying visual images such as a logo or message.
