This application discloses a control method, control device, equipment, and storage medium for a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), belonging to the field of
vehicle control technology. The control method for the vehicle-mounted UAV includes: determining first heading data from multiple heading data sets based on a reference priority, wherein the multiple heading data sets have different data sources; acquiring first image data collected by the vehicle-mounted UAV based on the first heading
data set at a first moment; if the first image data satisfies a first switching condition, determining second heading data from the multiple heading data sets based on the reference priority and a first confidence level of the multiple heading data sets at the first moment; and controlling the vehicle-mounted UAV based on the second heading
data set. Through pre-configured reference priorities and multiple heading data sets, this application can ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the switching process when heading data switching is required, avoiding blind switching and ensuring the continuity and stability of the vehicle-mounted UAV's automatic
takeoff, tracking, and return operations.
