Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for receiving image data; transferring the captured image data to a server having a processor and addressable memory via a network-connected computing device; storing the captured image data on the server; generating captured image metadata based on the stored captured image data; providing access to the captured image data and captured image metadata via an image management component; displaying, by the image management component, the captured image data; and filtering, by the image management component, the captured image data based on the generated captured image metadata.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- capturing image data via a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicle;
- transmitting the captured image data to a server having a processor and addressable memory via a network-connected computing device;
- correlating, by the image management component, a first captured image data with a second captured image data;
- and
- displaying, by the image management component, both the first captured image data and the second captured image data, wherein a visual dividing line separates the first captured image data from the second captured image data, the visual dividing line being moveable by a user.
A method comprising:
- defining a ground region for capturing one or more images;
- receiving image data of the defined ground region from an aerial vehicle and one or more satellite images, wherein the aerial vehicle is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicle;
- processing the image data;
- providing access to the processed image data via an image management component;
- correlating, by the image management component, a first captured image data with a second captured image data;
- and
- displaying, by the image management component, both the first captured image data and the second captured image data, wherein a visual dividing line separates the first captured image data from the second captured image data, the visual dividing line being moveable by a user.
