[0137] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0138] An embodiment of the present invention provides a shooting method, which can be applied to: a control terminal, a movable platform and a shooting device, wherein the shooting device can be a part of the shooting terminal, that is, the shooting device and the control terminal are integrated, and further, the shooting device can also be two devices independent of the control terminal. Accordingly, the control terminal can be communicated with the shooting device to facilitate control of the shooting device.

[0139] In this application environment, the shooting device can be fixed on a movable platform, and the movable platform can change the shooting angle of the shooting device by adjusting the posture of the gimbal. Furthermore, the control terminal can control the shooting device to shoot the target to be followed, and control the movable platform to adjust the posture to achieve tracking of the target to be followed. In this way, shooting and following can be achieved simultaneously without the need for manual adjustment by the user.

[0140] The above-mentioned shooting method is described in detail below.

[0141] Figure 1is a flowchart of a shooting method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to a control terminal. The control terminal can be used to connect to a mobile platform. The display interface of the control terminal can be provided with a delayed follow shooting icon. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0142] Step 101: display the time-lapse follow shooting icon, wherein the time-lapse follow shooting icon is used to indicate a time-lapse shooting instruction and a follow instruction, wherein the time-lapse shooting instruction is used to control the control terminal to perform time-lapse shooting; and the follow instruction is used to control the movable platform to follow a target to be followed.

[0143] In an embodiment of the present invention, the time-lapse follow-up shooting icon can be set in any interface displayed on the display interface. For example, the time-lapse follow-up shooting icon can be set in the main interface of the control terminal, or it can be set in an interface in a preset application installed on the control terminal. Furthermore, the specific style of the time-lapse follow-up shooting icon can be set according to actual needs. For example, the time-lapse follow-up shooting icon can be set to a circular button marked with the text "Time-lapse Follow", or a square button, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0144] Furthermore, the control terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a portable computing device, etc., the movable device may be an unmanned vehicle, an unmanned ship, a gimbal, etc., a device capable of fixing a device with a shooting function, and the target to be followed may be an object selected from the shooting scene that needs to be continuously photographed. In the embodiment of the present invention, by displaying the delayed follow shooting icon, the user may conveniently trigger the delayed shooting operation and the follow operation at the same time through the delayed follow shooting icon.

[0145] Step 102: Obtain the user's operation on the time-lapse follow shooting icon to generate the time-lapse shooting instruction and the follow instruction.

[0146] Since time-lapse photography and target tracking often need to be based on certain parameters, the user's operation on the time-lapse follow-up photography icon can be an operation to set the corresponding parameters. Accordingly, the control terminal can determine different parameters based on the specific operations obtained, and then generate corresponding instructions.

[0147] Step 103: Acquire the user's operation on the screen displayed on the display interface, and determine the target to be followed according to the user's operation on the screen displayed on the display interface; wherein the screen includes the screen acquired by the control terminal.

[0148] In the embodiment of the present invention, the shooting device for shooting can be arranged on the control terminal, for example, the shooting device can be a component of the control terminal, that is, the control terminal includes the shooting device, and accordingly, the control terminal can be installed on the movable platform so that the movable platform can adjust the shooting angle of the shooting device, and the control terminal can control the shooting device to shoot based on the internal instruction processing logic. Further, corresponding to this situation, the picture obtained by the control terminal can be directly collected by the control terminal through the shooting device.

[0149] Furthermore, the camera and the control terminal may be two independent devices. Accordingly, the camera may be installed on the movable platform so that the movable platform can adjust the camera angle. Meanwhile, the control terminal may be connected to the camera in communication. Thus, the control terminal may control the camera to shoot through the communication connection between the two. Furthermore, in this case, the image captured by the control terminal may be sent to the control terminal by the camera through the communication connection between the two.

[0150] Furthermore, the screen often displays objects included in the current shooting scene, so the control terminal can determine the target to be followed based on the user's operation on the screen, wherein the user's operation on the screen can be a selection operation of an object in the screen, and the specific operation form of the selection operation can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the screen displayed by the control terminal can intuitively represent the objects included in the current shooting scene, the method of determining the target to be followed based on the user's operation on the screen can enable the user to intuitively and conveniently select the target to be followed based on the screen, thereby reducing the user's operating difficulty to a certain extent.

[0151] Step 104: Control the movable platform to adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the following instruction to follow the target to be followed, so that the target to be followed is continuously displayed on the display interface, and perform time-delay shooting of the target to be followed according to the time-delay shooting instruction to achieve simultaneous time-delay shooting and following of the target to be followed.

[0152] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal can send a following instruction to the movable platform based on the communication connection between the control terminal and the movable platform, thereby adjusting the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the following instruction. In this way, as the gimbal posture of the movable platform changes, the shooting angle of the shooting device will also change accordingly, thereby achieving the following of the target to be followed. Furthermore, while following the target to be followed, the control terminal will also perform time-delay shooting of the target to be followed according to the time-delay shooting instruction, thereby achieving the simultaneous time-delay shooting and following of the target to be followed.

[0153] In summary, a shooting processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention will display a time-lapse follow shooting icon, then obtain the user's operation on the time-lapse follow shooting icon to generate a time-lapse shooting instruction and a follow instruction, then determine the target to be followed according to the user's operation on the screen displayed on the display interface, and finally control the movable platform to adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the follow instruction to follow the target to be followed, and perform time-lapse shooting on the target to be followed according to the time-lapse shooting instruction, so as to achieve simultaneous time-lapse shooting and following of the target to be followed. In this way, simultaneous time-lapse shooting and target following can be achieved without manual control by the user, thereby improving the final picture effect and reducing the labor cost of shooting.

[0154] Figure 2 is a flowchart of another shooting method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to a mobile platform. The mobile platform can be used for communication connection with a control terminal. The mobile platform includes a pan-tilt head. The pan-tilt head is used to carry a shooting device. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:

[0155] Step 201: Obtain a follow-up instruction and a delayed shooting instruction sent by the control terminal.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present invention, the movable platform may obtain the following instruction by receiving the following instruction sent by the control terminal. By obtaining the following instruction, the target can be followed based on the following instruction in subsequent steps.

[0157] Step 202: Based on the time-lapse shooting instruction, control the movable platform to perform time-lapse shooting of the target to be followed, and adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the following instruction, so that the target to be followed is continuously displayed in the screen displayed on the display interface of the control terminal, so as to achieve simultaneous time-lapse shooting and following of the target to be followed.

[0158] In the embodiment of the present invention, the movable platform can adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform while performing time-delay shooting of the target to be followed according to the time-delay shooting instruction at the control terminal, thereby achieving time-delay shooting and following of the target to be followed at the same time.

[0159] In summary, a shooting processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention obtains a follow-up instruction sent by a control terminal, and then, while the control terminal performs time-delay shooting of a target to be followed according to the time-delay shooting instruction, the gimbal posture of the movable platform is adjusted according to the following instruction, so that the target to be followed is continuously displayed in the screen displayed on the display interface of the control terminal. In this way, time-delay shooting and target tracking can be achieved simultaneously without manual control by the user, thereby improving the final picture effect and reducing the labor cost of shooting.

[0160] Figure 3-1 is a flowchart of another shooting method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be used in a system including a mobile platform and a control terminal. The control terminal can be connected to the mobile platform in communication. The display interface of the control terminal is provided with a delayed follow shooting icon. Specifically, Figure 3-1 As shown, the method may include:

[0161] Step 301: The control terminal displays the time-lapse follow shooting icon.

[0162] Specifically, the implementation of this step may refer to the above step 101, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be described in detail here.

[0163] Step 302: The control terminal obtains the user's operation on the time-lapse follow-up shooting icon to generate the time-lapse shooting instruction and the follow-up instruction.

[0164] In this step, the operation of obtaining the user on the delayed follow shooting icon may include: obtaining the user's setting operation on the delayed shooting parameters and the target following parameters. Further, the control terminal may obtain the user's setting operation on the delayed shooting parameters and the target following parameters when the user's preset operation on the delayed follow shooting icon is obtained. In the embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining the user's setting operation only when the user's preset operation on the delayed follow shooting icon is obtained, it can be ensured that the user's setting operation is performed when the user needs it, and to a certain extent, unnecessary acquisition operations can be avoided, thereby avoiding waste of processing resources of the control terminal. Among them, the preset operation can be pre-defined according to actual needs. For example, the preset operation can be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a long press operation, etc. on the delayed follow shooting icon. The delayed shooting parameter may include at least one of the shooting interval duration and the total shooting duration. Among them, the shooting interval duration may be the interval duration between two adjacent shooting operations in the delayed shooting, and the total shooting duration may be the duration of the delayed shooting operation. Further, the target following parameter may include at least one of a target following speed and a target display position, wherein the target display position may be a display position of a target to be followed in the picture, for example, the target display position may be the center of the picture or the lower left corner of the picture, and the target following speed may be a following speed of the target to be followed. In different scenes, the required following speed may be different. For example, in a shooting scene where a surround shot of the target to be followed is required, a larger following speed is often required, while in other shooting scenes, a smaller following speed is often required.

[0165] Specifically, obtaining the user's setting operation of the time-lapse shooting parameters and the target tracking parameters can be implemented through the implementation method 1 shown in the following steps 3021 to 3022:

[0166] Implementation method 1:

[0167] Step 3021: The control terminal displays recommended shooting parameters and recommended following parameters.

[0168] In this step, the recommended shooting parameters may be pre-collected time-lapse shooting parameters that are frequently used when performing time-lapse shooting. In this way, it can be ensured that the recommended shooting parameters can be used to perform time-lapse shooting normally. Furthermore, the follow-up parameters required for different scenes may be different. Therefore, the recommended follow-up parameters may be determined based on the shooting scene corresponding to the picture. Specifically, the control terminal may use a preset scene recognition algorithm to perform scene recognition on the picture displayed on the display interface to obtain the shooting scene corresponding to the picture. Then, based on the preset shooting scene and follow-up parameter correspondence, the follow-up parameters corresponding to the shooting scene corresponding to the picture may be determined to obtain the recommended follow-up parameters, so as to ensure that the displayed recommended follow-up parameters can adapt to the current shooting scene, thereby ensuring the shooting effect in the subsequent steps. Among them, the scene recognition algorithm may extract features from the picture, and then identify based on the extracted features to determine the shooting scene corresponding to the picture. The preset shooting scene and follow-up parameter correspondence may be pre-generated, and the correspondence may include different shooting scenes and follow-up parameters adapted to the shooting scene.

[0169] Step 3022: If the control terminal obtains the first confirmation operation of the user, the recommended shooting parameter and the recommended following parameter are determined as the time-lapse shooting parameter and the target following parameter respectively.

[0170] In this step, the specific operation form of the first confirmation operation can be pre-set according to actual needs. For example, the first confirmation operation can be a user's selection operation of a confirmation button, and the confirmation button can be displayed on an interface showing recommended shooting parameters and recommended following parameters. Further, if the first operation is obtained, it can be considered that the user wants to use the displayed recommended shooting parameters and recommended following parameters as time-lapse shooting parameters and target following parameters. Accordingly, the recommended shooting parameters and recommended following parameters can be determined as time-lapse shooting parameters and target following parameters, respectively.

[0171] In an embodiment of the present invention, recommended shooting parameters and recommended following parameters are displayed, and when a first confirmation operation is obtained, the recommended shooting parameters and recommended following parameters are used as time-lapse shooting parameters and target following parameters, so that the user can conveniently complete the setting operation of the time-lapse shooting parameters and target following parameters through only one confirmation operation, thereby reducing the user's operating cost.

[0172] Furthermore, obtaining the user's setting operation for the time-lapse shooting parameters and the target tracking parameters can also be achieved through the second implementation method shown in the following step 3023:

[0173] Implementation method 2:

[0174] Step 3023: The control terminal obtains the time-lapse shooting parameters and the target tracking parameters independently set by the user.

[0175] In this step, the control terminal may display a parameter input interface, which may be a pre-developed interface for inputting parameters, and then obtain the shooting parameters input by the user through the parameter input interface to obtain the time-lapse shooting parameters, and obtain the following parameters input by the user through the parameter input interface to obtain the target following parameters. In the embodiment of the present invention, by receiving the parameters input by the user, the user can flexibly set the parameters based on his or her own needs, thereby improving the user's operational flexibility to a certain extent.

[0176] Specifically, when the target following parameter includes the target following speed and the target display position, when setting the target following parameter, the control terminal may obtain the following speed input by the user in the following speed area in the parameter input interface to obtain the target following speed, and obtain the user's operation on the position setting icon in the parameter input interface to generate a position setting instruction. When generating the position setting instruction, the control terminal may detect the user's click operation on the current screen after obtaining the user's operation on the position setting icon in the parameter input interface, and then generate a position setting instruction containing information indicating the position clicked by the click operation, wherein the information indicating the position clicked by the click operation is the display position information. For example, assuming that the position clicked by the click operation is the center of the screen, the display position information may be text type information "center of the screen". Finally, the display position indicated by the display position information may be determined as the target display position, for example, the center of the screen may be determined as the target display position. Compared with the method of directly following the target to be followed with the default display position, in the embodiment of the present invention, the method of determining the target display position based on the user operation can make the subsequent following operation more in line with the user's expectations, thereby improving the user's satisfaction with the shooting effect. For example, Figure 3-2 is a schematic diagram of a parameter input interface provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3-2 As shown, the parameter input interface includes a shooting parameter area a, a following speed area b, and a position setting icon c. Accordingly, the user can input shooting parameters from area a, input following speed from area b, and operate the icon c to set the target display position.

[0177] Alternatively, the control terminal may also display multiple candidate shooting parameters and candidate following parameters, wherein these candidate shooting parameters and candidate following parameters may be pre-selected parameters with a usage frequency greater than a preset frequency threshold, and then the control terminal may obtain the user's selection operation on the multiple candidate shooting parameters and the selection operation on the multiple candidate following parameters, wherein the selection operation may be a click operation, a double-click operation or a long press operation on the parameter, etc. Then, according to the user's selection operation on the multiple candidate shooting parameters and the selection operation on the multiple candidate following parameters, the user's selected candidate shooting parameters and the selected candidate following parameters are respectively determined as time-lapse shooting parameters and target following parameters. For example, Figure 3-3 is a schematic diagram of a parameter selection interface provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3-3 As shown, the parameter selection interface includes 3 candidate shooting parameters: candidate shooting parameter 1, candidate shooting parameter 2 and candidate shooting parameter 3, and 3 candidate following parameters: candidate following parameter 1, candidate following parameter 2 and candidate following parameter 3. Accordingly, assuming that the user selects candidate shooting parameter 2 and candidate following parameter 3, the control terminal can determine candidate shooting parameter 2 as a time-lapse shooting parameter and determine candidate following parameter 3 as a target following parameter. In the embodiment of the present invention, by displaying a part of the parameters as candidates, the user can complete the setting of the parameters by selecting the parameters, which can improve the user's operation convenience to a certain extent.

[0178] Alternatively, the control terminal may also obtain the time-lapse shooting parameters and the target following speed sent by the mobile platform, wherein the time-lapse shooting parameters and the target following speed may be determined by the mobile platform based on the user's operation of a designated button in the mobile platform, and the designated button may be pre-designated according to an actual request. In the embodiment of the present invention, the user may also complete the parameter setting by operating the designated button of the mobile platform, which provides the user with more choices and improves the user's selectivity to a certain extent.

[0179] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal can determine the time-lapse shooting parameters and the target tracking parameters according to the user's autonomous setting operation, thereby improving the user's operability to a certain extent, and making the final set parameters more in line with the user's needs, so that the images captured based on these parameters in subsequent steps are more in line with the user's expectations.

[0180] Step 303: The control terminal obtains the user's operation on the screen displayed on the display interface, and determines the target to be followed according to the user's operation on the screen displayed on the display interface.

[0181] Specifically, this step can be implemented through the following steps 3031 to 3032:

[0182] Step 3031: The control terminal displays a selection box in the picture displayed on the display interface.

[0183] In this step, the specific form of the selection box can be set according to actual needs. For example, the selection box can include a point, a line, or a polygonal box. When displaying the selection box, only one selection box can be displayed. In this way, by displaying only one selection box, while enabling the user to make a selection, display resources can be saved to a certain extent. For example, Figure 3-4 is a schematic diagram of a selection box provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the interface displays a selection box. Furthermore, the interface may also display a "Start Delay" option, so that after the user selects the target to be followed based on the selection box, the user can manually control the control terminal to start time-lapse shooting based on the "Start Delay" option. Furthermore, the interface may also display a "Delay Parameter" option and a "Follow Speed" option. The user can view the currently used time-lapse shooting parameters and follow speed by clicking on these two options. Alternatively, the control terminal may also display multiple selection boxes to facilitate user selection. In the case of displaying multiple selection boxes, selection boxes may be displayed for all objects in the picture, or selection boxes may be displayed only for each movable object in the picture, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0184] Since the objects that need to be followed are often movable objects, that is, movable objects have a higher probability of being selected, therefore, by displaying a selection box for each movable object, unnecessary display operations can be avoided to a certain extent, thereby saving display resources of the control terminal. Figure 3-5 is another selection box schematic diagram provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, each movable object in the interface is displayed with a selection box.

[0185] Step 3032: The control terminal obtains a second confirmation operation of the user on the selection box, and determines a target to be followed according to the second confirmation operation.

[0186] In this step, when there is only one selection box displayed, the control terminal can obtain the user's moving operation on the selection box to generate a target selection box. Accordingly, in this case, the moving operation is the second confirmation operation. For example, the user can control the movement of the selection box by clicking other objects that are not selected in the picture, or by pressing a designated entity button of the control terminal. Accordingly, the moving selection box is the target selection box, and then the target to be followed can be determined according to the target selection box. Further, when there are multiple selection boxes displayed, the control terminal can obtain the user's selection operation on multiple selection boxes to determine the target selection box, and determine the target to be followed according to the target selection box. Accordingly, in this case, the selection operation is the second confirmation operation. Specifically, the user can select a selection box as the target selection box based on the object selected by each selection box. Accordingly, the control terminal can use the selected selection box as the target selection box.

[0187] It should be noted that, after determining the target selection box, the control terminal can also obtain the user's third confirmation operation on the target selection box displayed on the display interface of the control terminal, or obtain the user's third confirmation operation on the selection button of the movable platform to confirm the target selection box, wherein the selection button can be pre-set based on actual needs, and the third confirmation operation can be pre-set based on actual needs. For example, the third confirmation operation can be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, or a long-press operation. Accordingly, after confirmation, the operation of determining the target to be followed according to the target selection box can be performed. In this way, it can be avoided that the target to be followed is determined based on the target selection box selected by the user due to an erroneous operation, resulting in an inaccurate final target to be followed.

[0188] Furthermore, when a selection box is displayed for each movable object in the screen, the control terminal can obtain the user's switching operation on the selection box to determine the target selection box, and determine the target to be followed according to the target selection box. Accordingly, in this case, the switching operation is the second confirmation operation. Specifically, the switching operation can be a switching operation on the selected selection box. The user can switch the selected selection box according to the needs, and the control terminal can determine the selection box finally selected by the user as the target selection box. Since the objects that need to be followed are often movable objects, by displaying a selection box for each movable object, it is possible to avoid displaying unnecessary selection boxes to a certain extent, thereby saving the display resources of the control terminal.

[0189] Further, in any of the above cases, when determining the target to be followed according to the target selection box, the movable object corresponding to the target selection box in the screen may be determined as the target to be followed. Specifically, the movable object corresponding to the target selection box in the screen may be the movable object framed by the target selection box. For example, assuming that the movable object in the target selection box is person A, the control terminal may determine person A as the target to be followed. Since the target selection box is determined based on the user's operation, it can be considered that the movable object corresponding to the target selection box in the screen is the object that the user wants to follow. Therefore, by determining the movable object corresponding to the target selection box in the screen as the target to be followed, it can be ensured that the determined target to be followed is the object that the user wants to follow, thereby improving the accuracy of the determination to a certain extent.

[0190] Step 304: The control terminal controls the movable platform to adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the following instruction, and performs time-delay shooting of the target to be followed according to the time-delay shooting instruction.

[0191] In this step, the following instruction may include control parameters determined based on the target following parameters and the target to be followed. The control terminal may send a following instruction carrying the control parameters to the movable platform to control the movable platform to adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the following instruction. Specifically, the control parameter may be a target angular velocity determined based on the target following parameters and the target to be followed. Accordingly, the control terminal may implement sending the following instruction carrying the control parameters to the movable platform based on the following sub-steps (1) to (3):

[0192] Sub-step (1): the control terminal calculates the position change of the target to be followed within the preset time interval at each preset time interval.

[0193] In this step, the preset interval duration can be pre-set according to actual needs. For example, the preset interval duration can be 0.5 seconds or 1 second. Specifically, when calculating the position change, a reference coordinate system can be first constructed in the picture, and then the coordinate change of the target to be followed within the preset interval duration can be collected in real time. Finally, the coordinate change is determined as the position change.

[0194] Sub-step (2): The control terminal determines the target angular velocity based on the position change and the target following parameter.

[0195] In this step, the target angular velocity can be a vector with a rotation direction and a specific rotation degree. Specifically, the control terminal can combine the target following speed and the position change contained in the target following parameters to calculate the rotation direction and rotation degree that can keep the target to be followed at the target display position of the shooting screen of the shooting device, and then obtain the target angular velocity.

[0196] Sub-step (3): the control terminal uses the target angular velocity as the control parameter and sends a follow-up instruction carrying the target angular velocity to the movable platform.

[0197] In this step, the control terminal may insert the target angular velocity into the preset position of the following instruction and send it to the movable platform, so as to send the following instruction carrying the target angular velocity to the movable platform, wherein the preset position may be pre-specified, for example, the preset position may be the first position or the last position of the instruction, etc. In this way, by sending the target angular velocity to the movable platform, the movable platform can be directly controlled based on the target angular velocity in the following instruction, thereby improving the control speed of the movable platform to a certain extent.

[0198] Furthermore, the control terminal may also send a follow-up instruction carrying control parameters to the movable platform based on the following sub-step (4):

[0199] Sub-step (4): the control terminal uses the target following parameter and the determination result of the target to be followed as the control parameter, and sends a following instruction carrying the target following parameter and the determination result of the target to be followed to the movable platform.

[0200] In this step, the determination result of the target to be followed is used to indicate the target to be followed. For example, the determination result of the target to be followed may be the identifier of the target to be followed. Specifically, the control terminal may send the target following parameters and the determination result of the target to be followed to the movable platform through a following instruction, so that the movable platform determines the target angular velocity and performs attitude adjustment based on the target following parameters and the determination result of the target to be followed. In this way, the control terminal can control the movable platform to make adjustments without performing calculations, which can save the computing resources of the control terminal to a certain extent.

[0201] Furthermore, in the case where the control terminal includes a shooting device, the control terminal can control the shooting device to perform time-delay shooting on the target to be followed according to the time-delay shooting instruction. For example, based on internal parameter transmission, the time-delay shooting instruction carrying the time-delay shooting parameter can be transmitted to the shooting device to control the shooting device to perform time-delay shooting on the target to be followed. In the case where the control terminal is communicatively connected to the shooting device, that is, the control terminal and the shooting device are two independent devices, the time-delay shooting instruction can be sent to the shooting device through the communication connection between the two to control the shooting device to perform time-delay shooting on the target to be followed according to the time-delay shooting instruction.

[0202] Specifically, when performing time-lapse photography on the target to be followed, the target to be followed may be photographed at intervals of a shooting interval until the shooting duration reaches the total shooting duration. For example, assuming that the shooting interval is 3 seconds, a shooting operation may be performed at intervals of 3 seconds. Alternatively, the time-lapse photography parameters may be sent to the movable platform so that the movable platform performs the operation of photographing the target to be followed at intervals of a shooting interval until the shooting duration reaches the total shooting duration. Furthermore, if the shooting duration of the time-lapse photography reaches the total shooting duration, it can be considered that the time-lapse photography is completed. At this time, the control terminal can stop executing this step. In this way, the automatic stopping of the control terminal eliminates the need for manual control by the user, which can reduce the user's operating costs to a certain extent.

[0203] Of course, the control terminal can also stop executing this step when receiving the end instruction, wherein the end instruction can be generated based on the user's operation on the control terminal or the movable platform. In this way, the user can use the control terminal or the movable platform to quickly stop the time-lapse follow shooting when the time-lapse follow shooting is not needed. Specifically, the display interface of the control terminal can be provided with an end button. Accordingly, the control terminal can obtain the user's operation on the end button to obtain the end instruction. The user's operation on the end button can be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, or a long-press operation on the end button, etc. For example, Figure 3-6 This is a schematic diagram of the interface in the following state, such as Figure 3-6As shown, the target to be followed will be followed continuously, and a "Stop Delay" button is displayed in the interface, which is the end button. Furthermore, the "Delay Parameter" option and the "Follow Speed" option are also displayed in the interface. Users can view the currently used time-lapse shooting parameters and follow speed by clicking these two options. The interface also displays a status reminder message "Target Following". Of course, the movable platform may also be provided with an end button, and the control terminal may obtain the user's operation on the end button of the movable platform to obtain the end instruction. Specifically, obtaining the user's operation on the end button of the movable platform to obtain the end instruction may be implemented by the control terminal receiving the end instruction sent by the movable platform.

[0204] Step 305: The movable platform obtains a follow-up instruction sent by the control terminal.

[0205] Specifically, the implementation of this step may refer to the above step 201, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be described in detail here.

[0206] Step 306: When the control terminal performs time-lapse photography on the target to be followed according to the time-lapse photography instruction, the movable platform adjusts the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the following instruction so that the target to be followed is continuously displayed in the screen displayed on the display interface of the control terminal.

[0207] In this step, the following instruction may carry a target angular velocity, and accordingly, the movable platform may adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the target angular velocity to adjust the posture of the shooting device. Specifically, the movable platform may be controlled to rotate according to the target angular velocity to adjust the posture. In this way, the movable platform can be directly controlled based on the target angular velocity in the following instruction, thereby improving the control speed of the movable platform to a certain extent.

[0208] The following instruction may also carry the target following parameters and the determination result of the target to be followed. Accordingly, the movable platform may calculate the position change of the target to be followed within the preset interval time at each preset interval, and then determine the target angular velocity based on the position change and the target following parameters. Finally, the gimbal posture of the movable platform is adjusted according to the target angular velocity to adjust the posture of the shooting device. In this way, the control terminal can control the movable platform to make adjustments without performing calculations, which can save the computing resources of the control terminal to a certain extent.

[0209] Furthermore, the movable platform may also be provided with a selection button for confirming the target to be followed. Accordingly, the movable platform may also obtain the user's operation on the selection button before executing this step, wherein the operation may be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, or a long-press operation on the selection button. Then, the target to be followed may be confirmed according to the user's operation on the selection button. Specifically, after obtaining the user's operation on the selection button, it may be determined that the target to be followed is the object that the user needs to follow. At this time, the target to be followed may be confirmed, that is, it is determined that the target to be followed is correct. Then, after confirmation, this step may be started. In this way, by confirming the target to be followed before starting to follow, the problem of following operation errors caused by errors in the target to be followed can be avoided, thereby improving the following effect.

[0210] In summary, in a shooting processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal will display a time-lapse follow shooting icon, and then obtain the user's operation on the time-lapse follow shooting icon to generate a time-lapse shooting instruction and a follow instruction. Then, the target to be followed will be determined according to the user's operation on the screen displayed on the display interface. Finally, the movable platform will be controlled to adjust the gimbal posture of the movable platform according to the follow instruction, and perform time-lapse shooting of the target to be followed according to the time-lapse shooting instruction. Accordingly, the movable platform will obtain the follow instruction sent by the control terminal, and while the control terminal performs time-lapse shooting of the target to be followed according to the time-lapse shooting instruction, the gimbal posture of the movable platform will be adjusted according to the follow instruction, so that the target to be followed is continuously displayed in the screen displayed on the display interface of the control terminal. In this way, time-lapse shooting and target following can be achieved simultaneously without manual control by the user, thereby improving the final picture effect and reducing the labor cost of shooting.

[0211] Figure 4 is a flowchart of another shooting method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to a movable platform. The movable platform can be used for communication connection with a control terminal and for installing the control terminal. The movable platform is also provided with a delayed follow shooting button. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the method may include:

[0212] Step 401: Obtain the user's operation on the delayed follow shooting button to generate a delayed follow shooting trigger instruction.

[0213] In an embodiment of the present invention, the time-delay follow-up shooting button can be a button selected in advance from the buttons included in the movable platform according to actual conditions. The time-delay follow-up shooting button can also be a combination of any multiple buttons included in the movable platform. For example, the combination of button 1 and button 2 included in the movable platform can be set as the time-delay follow-up shooting button. Accordingly, the movable platform can determine that the user's operation on the time-delay follow-up shooting button is obtained when detecting the user's operation of pressing button 1 and button 2 at the same time.
