Abstract
Herein is disclosed an unmanned aerial vehicle photography system comprising at least a first unmanned aerial vehicle and a second unmanned aerial vehicle; the first unmanned aerial vehicle further comprising one or more image sensors, configured to obtain a subject image of a subject; and one or more processors, configured to cause the one or more image sensors to obtain the subject image synchronously with the second unmanned aerial vehicle.
Claims18
An unmanned aerial vehicle photography system comprising at least a first unmanned aerial vehicle and a second unmanned aerial vehicle;
- the first unmanned aerial vehicle further comprising:
- one or more image sensors, configured to detect sensor data representing a subject;
- and
- one or more processors, configured to
- determine from the sensor data an occurrence of a trigger event;
- instruct the one or more image sensors to obtain a subject image synchronously with the second unmanned aerial vehicle at a conclusion of a fixed time duration following a non-fixed time duration;
- wherein the non-fixed time duration is an unmanned aerial vehicle-specific time duration beginning with the determination of the trigger event and ending with a beginning of a recurring fixed time interval, and wherein the fixed time duration is a duration from the beginning of the recurring fixed time internal to an end of the recurring fixed time interval.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, if executed, cause one or more processors to:
- determine from sensor data representing a subject, an occurrence of a trigger event;
- and
- instruct one or more image sensors to obtain an image of the subject at a conclusion of a fixed time duration following a non-fixed time duration;
- wherein the non-fixed time duration is a time duration beginning with the determination of the trigger event and ending with a beginning of a recurring fixed time interval, and wherein the fixed time duration is a duration from the beginning of the recurring fixed time internal to an end of the recurring fixed time interval.
One or more processors, configured to:
- determine from sensor data representing a subject, an occurrence of a trigger event;
- and
- instruct one or more image sensors to obtain an image of the subject at a conclusion of a fixed time duration following a non-fixed time duration;
- wherein the non-fixed time duration is an unmanned aerial vehicle-specific time duration beginning with the determination of the trigger event and ending with a beginning of a recurring fixed time interval, and wherein the fixed time duration is a duration from the beginning of the recurring fixed time internal to an end of the recurring fixed time interval.
