AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Acquiring images of a target object at a desired distance and resolution from a UAV is tedious for human pilots, especially when dealing with complex geometric shapes and uneven surfaces.
Method used
A UAV autonomously scans a target by determining contour paths and image acquisition positions, traversing these paths at a constant speed while acquiring images at regular intervals, using multiple cameras and navigation systems to generate a 3D model.
Benefits of technology
The UAV efficiently acquires detailed images of complex targets with high resolution and accuracy, generating a 3D model of the target surface, improving the scanning process by reducing human intervention and enhancing image quality.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to the technology of unmanned aerial vehicles. [Solution] The system may receive a request from a first user to create a team folder from a folder associated with the first user. This request may indicate a requested storage allocation from the team folder storage pool to associate with the team folder. The system may determine whether the requested storage allocation is below a threshold amount corresponding to the profile for creating the team folder associated with the first user. If the requested storage allocation is below the threshold amount, the system may automatically create a shared file system for the team folder and allocate a certain amount of storage from the team folder storage pool to the shared file system based on the requested storage allocation.
