Patent published on the 2026-06-24 in GB under Ref GB2702721 by ASPIRA AERIAL APPLICATIONS LTD [GB] (David Jolley [gb], Jon Fenning [gb])
Abstract: Fig 1 A multirotor UAV 10 flies under control of an on-board flight controller(40, fig 2). The UAV 10 has sensors e.g. laser scanner/ LIDAR 30, camera 32, GPS 34, compass 35 sending signals to the flight controller (40, fig 2). The UAV 10 uses the three-dimensional depth scanner 30 when flying in close proximity to an external structure (60, fig 4) to create a three-dimensional map of the external structure (60, fig 4) for control of the flight of the UAV 10 proximate thereto. The sensors detect[...]
Our summary: The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is controlled by an on-board flight controller using various sensors. The UAV employs a three-dimensional depth scanner to create a map of nearby structures.

A No-Reference Multivariate Gaussian-Based Spectral Distortion Index for Pansharpened Images
Published on 2026-02-03 by Bishr Omer Abdelrahman Adam, Xu Li, Jingying Wu, Xiankun Hao @MDPI
Abstract: Pansharpening is a fundamental image fusion technique used to enhance the spatial resolution of remote sensing imagery; however, it inevitably introduces spectral distortions that compromise the reliability of downstream analyses. Existing no-reference (NR) quality assessment methods often fail to exclusively isolate these spectral errors from spatial artifacts or lack sensitivity to specific radiometric inconsistencies. To address this gap, this paper proposes a novel No-Reference Multivariate [...]
Our summary: This paper introduces a No-Reference Multivariate Gaussian-based Spectral Distortion Index (MVG-SDI) for assessing pansharpened images. The methodology utilizes a hybrid feature set combining First Digit Distribution and Color Moment features to quantify spectral distortion. Experiments demonstrate that MVG-SDI correlates better with full-reference benchmarks and maintains stability against specific spectral degradations.
