Various systems, methods, for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are disclosed. In one aspect, UAVs operation in an area may be managed and organized by UAV corridors, which can be defined ways for the operation and movement of UAVs. UAV corridors may be supported by infrastructures and/or systems supported UAVs operations. Support infrastructures may include support systems such as resupply stations and landing pads. Support systems may include communication UAVs and/or stations for providing communications and/or other services, such as aerial traffic services, to UAV with limited communication capabilities. Further support systems may include flight management services for guiding UAVs with limited navigation capabilities as well as tracking and/or supporting unknown or malfunctioning UAVs.

Unmanned aerial vehicles

Described herein are methods and devices that employ a plurality of image sensors to capture a target image of a scene. As described, positioning at least one reflective or refractive surface near the plurality of image sensors enables the sensors to capture together an image of wider field of view and longer focal length than any sensor could capture individually by using the reflective or refractive surface to guide a portion of the image scene to each sensor. The different portions of the scene captured by the sensors may overlap, and may be aligned and cropped to generate the target image.

Multi-camera system using folded optics

An image capturing system and a method of autofocusing are disclosed such that, for example, when a folded optics configuration is used, a field corrector lens can be placed on the image sensor of the system and a plurality of lenses can be placed perpendicular to the image sensor. The plurality of lenses can be movable relative to the image sensor such that acceptable MTF curve performances can be obtained when the image capturing system is focused at reference distances.

Auto-focus in low-profile folded optics multi-camera system

Aspects relate to methods and systems for producing ultra-wide field of view images. In some embodiments, an image capture system for capturing wide field-of-view images comprises an aperture, a central camera positioned to receive light through the aperture, the center camera having an optical axis, a plurality of periphery cameras disposed beside the central camera and pointed towards a portion of the optical axis of the center camera, the plurality of cameras arranged around the center camera, and a plurality of extendible reflectors. The reflectors are configured to move from a first position to a second position and have a mirrored first surface that faces away from the optical axis of the center camera and a second black surface that faces towards the optical axis of the center camera, the plurality of periphery cameras arranged around the center camera.

Wide field of view array camera for hemispheric and spherical imaging

An image capturing apparatus includes a tilt detection unit that detects a tilt in the vertical direction, conversion data used for transforming plane coordinates into spherical coordinates, a correction unit that corrects the conversion data according to the tilt, a plurality of image capturing units, a coordinate transformation unit that transforms plane coordinates of a plurality of pixels included in images captured by the image capturing units into spherical coordinates according to the conversion data corrected by the correction unit, and a combining unit that combines the images including the pixels transformed into spherical coordinates by the coordinate transformation unit.

Image capturing apparatus, image capture system, image processing method, information processing apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium

A technique for computing an image of a virtual view based on a plurality of camera views is presented. One or more cameras provide the plurality of camera views. As to a method aspect of the technique, two or three camera views that at least partially overlap and that at least partially overlap with the virtual view are selected among the plurality of camera views. The image of the virtual view is computed based on objects in the selected camera views using a multilinear relation that relates the selected camera views and the virtual view.

Technique for view synthesis

A system, methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for providing coverage of a wireless communication network are described. The wireless communication network comprises radio base stations ( 150 ) mounted on mobile robots ( 100 ) and the mobile robots ( 100 ) are capable of communicating with a maintenance base ( 110 ). The method comprises to determine a radio coverage area ( 140 ) to be provided by the base stations mounted on said mobile robots ( 100 ). The method further comprises to deploy said mobile robots ( 100 ) at geographical positions suitable to provide the radio coverage area ( 140 ) and the maintenance base ( 110 ) replacing a deployed mobile robot ( 100 ) in order to maintain the radio coverage area ( 140 ).

Provision Of Coverage For A Wireless Communication Network By Using Moving Base Stations On Robots Or Drones

The application relates to Network Function Virtualisation as standardised by ETSI GS NFV002 VI21 The standard provides for dynamic instantiation and management of VNF instances When using base stations as platforms on which VNFs can be instantiated, it has to be decided how this is done in an efficient way The application proposes that in case a UE moves from an area covered by a source base station (210) to an area covered by a target base station (220), at least one VNF (250) is deployed on the target base station This VNF may be a clone of a VNF (240) hosted by the source bases station

Providing services to a roaming user equipment

A technique for operating a movable radio base station, M-RBS, (200) is described. The M-RBS is configured to provide to a plurality of user equipments (120) wireless access to a telecommunications network (100). As to a method aspect of the technique, the M-RBS (200) is changed from a first mode to a second mode that is different from the first mode. Each of the first mode and the second mode specifies a set of parameter values for operating parameters of the M-RBS (200).

Technique for operating a movable radio base station

The invention relates to a method for providing a network service in a communication network (50) covering a geographical area for a plurality of mobile clients (40). A mobile client (40) (among the plurality of mobile clients) registers (s10) with the communication network (50). A geomessaging register (30) identifies (s20) a service enabler (20) based on registration information of said mobile client (40). The geomessaging register (30) sends (s30), to the identified service enabler (20), contact information of said mobile client (40). The service enabler (20) sends (s40), to the geomessaging register (30), contact information of the service enabler (20). The geomessaging register (30) then sends (s50), to the mobile client (40), said contact information of the service enabler (20). Finally, the mobile client (40) is connected (s60) to the service enabler (20) for receiving the network service. The invention also relates to network nodes for participating in providing such services.
