Abstract:
A method for operating a system including a plurality of cameras, the method including: selecting a subset of the cameras, determining a subset of pixels captured by the camera subset, determining a pixel depth associated with each pixel of the pixel subset, and controlling system operation based on the pixel depth.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for aircraft operation comprising, at an aircraft comprising a set of cameras:\n selecting a first camera group from the set of cameras, the first camera group comprising a lateral camera and a first downward-facing camera, wherein a lateral camera view region and a first downward-facing camera view region each comprise a first overlapped subset; selecting a second camera group from the set of cameras, the second camera group comprising the first downward-facing camera and a second downward-facing camera, wherein the first downward-facing camera view region and a second downward-facing camera view region each comprise a second overlapped subset; sampling a set of images, comprising:\n at the first downward-facing camera, sampling a first image at a first time; \n at the second downward-facing camera, sampling a second image substantially at the first time; and \n at the lateral camera, sampling a third image substantially at the first time; \n based on the first camera group, determining a first dataset associated with a first region of the first image and a region of the third image, wherein the first region of the first image and the region of the third image are each representative of a first obstacle within the first overlapped subset; based on the first dataset, determining a lateral clearance between the aircraft and the first obstacle; based on the second camera group, determining a second dataset associated with a second region of the first image and a region of the second image, wherein the second region of the first image and the region of the second image are each representative of a second obstacle within the second overlapped subset; based on the second dataset, determining an downward clearance between the aircraft and the second obstacle; and based on the lateral clearance and the downward clearance, controlling flight of the aircraft.
