Latest Patents

Lecrubier is named on 1 patent: “Multi-phase semantic three-dimensional scan for structure inspection.” The invention describes a two-phase inspection process. In the first phase, a UAV identifies structural components, develops a semantic understanding of them, and determines their poses. Using that information, the system plans a flight path with capture points and camera poses. In the second phase, the UAV follows the planned path to inspect all or selected components.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects work at the intersection of UAV flight planning, three-dimensional scanning, and automated structure inspection. Its multi-phase approach uses information gathered during an initial inspection to guide more targeted image capture in a subsequent phase.

Collaborations

Lecrubier’s listed coworkers include Adam Parker Bry and Hayk Martirosyan. The patent is associated with Skydio, Inc.

Conclusion

Vincent Lecrubier’s patent describes a UAV inspection method that combines semantic understanding, component pose information, and planned camera viewpoints to support structured three-dimensional inspection.
