Methods and systems for movement control of flying devices

Abstract

A method of controlling a movable object having a first perspective is disclosed. The method may include receiving an input signal from a second perspective and translating the input signal from the second perspective to the first perspective. The method may further include causing movement of the movable object based on the translated signal.

Background technique [0004] Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ("UAVs") (sometimes referred to as "drones") include unmanned aircraft of various sizes and configurations that can be operated remotely by a user and / or programmed for autonomous flight. UAVs can be used for a variety of purposes and are often used in a variety of personal, commercial and tactical applications. In many applications, UAVs can also be equipped with aux...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] image quality can be affected by several aspects of UAV flight control, and it can be difficult to control the movement of the UAV while operating imaging equipment attached to the UAV at the same time

for example, it is difficult to efficiently operate imaging equipment attached to a UAV while precisely controlling the distance of the UAV to objects or targets, the multi-axis spatial orientation of the UAV, and the flight stability of the UAV that can affect image quality

Simultaneous control of the UAV and attached imaging assets can be more challenging when the target is in motion or during complex flight maneuvers where the user's spatial reference frame differs from that of the UAV control system
