Abstract

See full text

A technique for detection of an obstacle by a UAV includes arriving above a location at a first altitude by the UAV; navigating a descent flight pattern from the first altitude towards the location; acquiring aerial images of the location below the UAV with a camera system disposed onboard the UAV; and analyzing the aerial images with a machine vision system disposed onboard the UAV that is adapted to detect a presence of the obstacle in the aerial images. The descent flight pattern is selected to increase perception by the machine vision system of the obstacle.
