Systems and methods for UAV flight control

Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are provided herein for controlling one or more movable objects (302) via a graphical user interface. A method for controlling a movable object (302) may be provided. Themethod may comprise obtaining one or more parameters of a target object (308), and generating a motion path (310) for the movable object (302) based on the one or more parameters of the target object(308). The motion path (302) may comprise a plurality of spatial points that are defined relative to the one or more parameters of the target object (308). The plurality of spatial points may be configured to be on one or more planes.

Description

Background technique [0001] Aircraft have a wide range of real-world applications, including surveillance, reconnaissance, exploration, logistics and transportation, emergency rescue and relief, aerial photography, large-scale agricultural automation, real-time video broadcasting, etc. In some applications, an aircraft carrying a payload (eg, a camera) may be controlled to fly around a target object to acquire data or perform certain tasks. However, the development of practical flight control applications has been hampered by the lack of an easy-to-use interactive control and guidance system. The lack of an easy-to-use interactive flight control and guidance system may reduce the usefulness of the aircraft in certain applications. Contents of the invention [0002] Currently, one or more operators may have to manually select a target object and manually control the aircraft to fly around and / or follow the target object. These operators may also have to manually control the...
