Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle is described and includes a computer carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle to control flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle and at least one sensor. The unmanned aerial vehicle is caused to fly to a specific location within a facility, where the unmanned aerial vehicle enters a hover mode, where the unmanned aerial vehicle remains in a substantially fixed location hovering over the specific location within the facility and sends raw or processing results of sensor data from the sensor to a remote server system.
Claims7
A method comprises:
- sending by a computer to a drone a message to cause the drone to fly to a specific location within a facility;
- determine when the drone has reached the specific location;
- cause the drone to enter a hover mode, where the drone remains in a substantially fixed location hovering over the specific location within the facility;
- receive sensor data from a sensor carried by the drone;
- apply processing to the sensor data to detect an unacceptable level of detected feature differences in features contained in the sensor data at the location in the facility;
- and
- output an indication of unacceptable level of detected feature differences.
