Abstract
An imagery method includes obtaining a plurality of images of an object captured using one or more imaging devices within a period of time while the object is being tracked, performing motion and/or state estimation of the object for the period of time, and selecting one or more images related to a moment from the plurality of images based on the motion and/or state estimation of the object.
Claims18
An imagery method, comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of first images of an object, wherein the plurality of images are captured using a main imaging device configured at a first location on a movable platform within a period of time while the object is being tracked;
- obtaining one or more second images of the object within the period of time from one or more image sensors configured at one or more second locations on the movable platform, the one or more second locations being different from the first location, and the one or more second images being synchronized with the plurality of first images;
- performing motion or state estimation of the object for the period of time by analyzing the one or more second images according to a perspective transformation that compensates for field-of-view differences between the main imaging device and the one or more image sensors;
- and
- selecting one or more images related to a moment from the plurality of first images based on the motion or state estimation of the object.
2 more elements
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:
- a memory that stores one or more computer-executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to perform a method comprising:
- directing the UAV to track an object;
- obtaining a plurality of first images of the object, wherein the plurality of images are captured by a main imaging device configured at a first location on the UAV within a period of time while the object is being tracked;
- obtaining one or more second images of the object within the period of time from one or more image sensors configured at one or more second locations on the UAV, the one or more second locations being different from the first location, and the one or more second images being synchronized with the plurality of first images;
- performing motion or state estimation of the object for the period of time by analyzing the one or more second images according to a perspective transformation that compensates for field-of-view differences between the main imaging device and the one or more image sensors;
- and
- selecting one or more images related to a moment from the plurality of images based on the motion or state estimation of the object.
6 more elements
An imagery system, comprising:
- one or more microprocessors;
- a controller running on the one or more microprocessors, wherein the controller operates to
- obtain a plurality of first images of an object, wherein the plurality of images are captured using a main imaging device configured at a first location on a movable platform within a period of time while the object is being tracked;
- obtain one or more second images of the object within the period of time from one or more image sensors configured at one or more second locations on the movable platform, the one or more second locations being different from the first location, and the one or more second images being synchronized with the plurality of first images;
- perform motion or state estimation of the object for the period of time by analyzing the one or more second images according to a perspective transformation that compensates for field-of-view differences between the main imaging device and the one or more image sensors;
- and
- select one or more images related to a moment from the plurality of first images based on the motion or state estimation of the object.
