AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing vehicle-mounted drones are prone to losing track of target vehicles due to obstructions or signal loss, and cannot intelligently maintain the following position.
Method used
It employs a switching mechanism that combines three modes: navigation follow, image recognition follow, and GPS positioning follow. By detecting navigation startup, yaw warnings, and wireless signal status on the vehicle or mobile device, it dynamically switches the follow mode to ensure that the drone can stably follow the target vehicle.
Benefits of technology
Ensuring that drones can stably follow target vehicles in various environments avoids loss of tracking due to obstructions or signal loss, thus improving the intelligence and reliability of drone tracking.

Abstract
The application discloses a method for controlling a UAV to follow a vehicle, comprising the following steps: S100, detecting whether the vehicle terminal or the mobile terminal has started navigation, if yes, entering step S200, and if not, entering step S300; S200, the UAV following in a navigation following mode, detecting whether there is a yaw prompt information on the vehicle terminal or the mobile terminal, if yes, entering step S400, and if not, keeping the navigation following mode to follow; S300, the UAV following in an image recognition following mode, recognizing whether there is a target vehicle in the photographed image according to a set frequency, if yes, keeping the image recognition following mode to follow, and if not, entering step S400; S400, the UAV following in a GPS positioning following mode, detecting whether a wireless signal is in a connection state according to a set period, if yes, keeping the GPS positioning following mode to follow, and if not, entering step S300. The application can intelligently switch the following mode and realize stable following of the UAV.
