Systems and Methods for Inspecting a Railroad
9 Mar 23
A method for analyzing one or more conditions of a transportation pathway includes obtaining, using an imaging device of an inspection system, image data reproducible as a plurality of images of the transportation pathway, each of the plurality of images being reproducible as an image of a portion of the transportation pathway, each portion of the transportation pathway having an associated location along a length of the transportation pathway, analyzing, using one or more processors of the inspection system, the image data to determine a first plurality of metrics indicative of a condition of the transportation pathway at each of the associated locations, and generating a first graph, using the determined first plurality of metrics, that is indicative of the condition of the transportation pathway at each of the associated locations.

Utility
Position and Orientation Tracking System, Apparatus and Method
26 Aug 21
A position and orientation determining system and apparatuses including a first radio frequency (RF) device having a first constellation of antennae including at least two receiving antennae and at least one transmitting antenna, and a first radio unit in communication with the first constellation of antennae, a second RF device having a second constellation of antennae including at least three receiving antennae and at least one transmitting antenna, and a second radio unit in communication with the second constellation of antennae, and a processor operatively coupled to at least one of the first or second RF device and configured to determine a three-dimensional position and three-axis angular orientation of the first RF device relative to the second RF device based on a carrier phase difference (CPD) measurement of distance difference based on signals received between each discrete pair of receiving antennae in the first constellation of antennae and received signals between each discrete pair of receiving antennae in the second constellation of antennae.
