The embodiment of the invention provides a surround
shooting method and device, and an unmanned aerial vehicle, and relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles. The surround
shooting method comprises the following steps: obtaining a preview image shot by a camera at a first position; determining a target object through the preview image; controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly from the first position to a second position; calculating the distance between the second position and the target object; using the distance as a
radius, and using the target object as a circle center or an axle center to generate a surrounding
orbit; and controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly around the surrounding
orbit, and adjusting the course of the unmanned aerial vehicle in real time so as to locate the target object within a preset area of the image shot by the camera in real time. Therefore, a user does not need to specific a circle center coordinate, the surrounding
radius or the surrounding height and the like, the unmanned aerial vehicle can automatically measure the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the target object and automatically generate the surrounding
orbit, so the user operation is simpler, the user time is saved, the image shot by the unmanned aerial vehicle better satisfies the user demand, and thus the surround
shooting method and device is convenient and practical.
