Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for vehicle guidance. Stereo images may be obtained at different times using a stereo image sensor. A depth image may be determined based on an earlier obtained pair of stereo images. The depth image may be refined based on predictions of an earlier stereo image and a later obtained stereo image. Depth information for an environment around a vehicle may be obtained. The depth information may characterize distances between the vehicle and the environment around the vehicle. A spherical depth map may be generated from the depth information. Maneuver controls for the vehicle may be provided based on the spherical depth map.

Abstract: An aerial vehicle platform includes an aerial vehicle, a gimbal coupled to the aerial vehicle, and a camera mounted to the gimbal. An attitude sensing system includes an inertial measurement unit to sense attitude and an attitude adjustment module to generate an attitude adjustment for adjusting the sensed attitude to compensate for drift error.

Abstract: An electronic gimbal is attached to a mounting platform and enables a mounted device such as a camera to rotate about three axes of rotation. The electronic gimbal may be configured with “soft stop” positions, past which the gimbal adjusts the target rotation to slow the rate of rotation as the motor approach mechanical stops.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on tilted optical elements. The UAV may include a housing, a motor, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first optical element having a first field of view, a second optical element having a second field of view, and one or more processors. The first optical element and the second optical element may be carried by the housing such that the vertical fields of view above the midline plane of the housing are greater than the vertical fields of view below the midline plane of the housing when the UAV is tilted during flight, and such that portions of the fields of view overlap. Flight control for the UAV may be provided based on parallax disparity of an object within the overlapping fields of view.
