Abstract

A method for dynamically generating a tile of a unified tile pyramid including a set of orthomosaics captured by one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes receiving, by a server and from a user device, a request for the tile of the unified tile pyramid; determining, by the server, a set of tile pyramids that overlap the tile; generating, by the server, the tile of the unified tile pyramid based on determining the set of tile pyramids; and providing, by the server and to the user device, the tile of the unified tile pyramid, wherein the user device is configured to display the tile based on receiving the tile from the server.

Abstract

A method for classifying a set of source files of reality capture data into an asset class of digital reality capture assets may include receiving, from a user device, a set of payloads including metadata of the set of source files of the reality capture data corresponding to a region of interest captured by a camera. The method may include classifying the set of source files of the reality capture data into the asset class of the digital reality capture assets, based on the set of payloads including the metadata of the set of source files of the reality capture data. The method may include providing, to the user device, information identifying the asset class of the digital reality capture assets to which the set of source files are classified to permit a digital reality capture asset, corresponding to the asset class, of the region of interest to be generated based on the set of source files.

Abstract

A method for adaptive mission execution by an unmanned aerial vehicle includes receiving a set of pre-calculated mission parameters corresponding to an initial UAV mission; collecting UAV operation data during flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle; calculating a set of modified mission parameters from the set of pre-calculated mission parameters and the UAV operation data, the set of modified mission parameters corresponding to a modified UAV mission; and executing the modified UAV mission on the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Abstract

A system for managing UAVs includes a first relay that performs mission management on a first UAV; a first conduit, corresponding to a first geographical area, that manages communication between the first UAV and first relay when the first UAV is located in the first geographical area; a first web server that enables user interfacing with the first UAV; and a pre-flight insurance tap that generates an insurance quote for a mission of the first UAV when an instance of the pre-flight insurance tap is called by the first relay.
