Abstract
A control device includes a display configured to show an image captured by an imaging device supported by a movable object and one or more processors configured to obtain information about a user input indicative of a target shown within the image, and generate data, based on the information about the user input indicative of the target, to effectuate an automatic control of a zoom level of the imaging device and an attitude of the imaging device relative to the target.
Claims20
A control device, comprising:
- a touchscreen configured to display an image captured by an imaging device supported by a movable object, and receive a user input provided by a single user action and indicative of (1) selection of a target shown within the image and (2) selection of a zoom factor for zooming in or out of the target;
- and one or more processors configured to:
- process information about the user input, received by the touchscreen;
- generate control data, based on the information about the user input, the control data comprising instructions for the imaging device, a carrier supporting the imaging device, or the movable object to automatically control (1) a zoom level of the imaging device according to the user selected zoom factor and (2) an attitude of the imaging device relative to the target for positioning the target at a predetermined location within the image;
- and wherein the single user action comprises a deep touch or a long touch on the target, wherein the zoom factor is determined based on a degree of pressure or a period of time applied to the touchscreen or a multi-point touch and the zoom factor is determined based on user selection of one or more zoom controls shown on the touchscreen.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions executable by one or more processors for capturing an image, the program instructions comprising:
- displaying, on a touchscreen, the image captured by an imaging device supported by a movable object;
- receiving, via the touchscreen, a user input provided by a single user action and indicative of (1) selection of a target shown within image and (2) selection of a zoom factor zooming in or out of the target;
- processing information about the received user input;
- generating control data, based on the information about the user input, control data comprising instructions for the imaging device, a carrier supporting the imaging device, or the movable object to automatically control (1) a zoom level of the imaging device according to the user selected zoom factor and (2) an attitude of the imaging device relative to the target for positioning the target at a predetermined location within the image;
- and wherein the single user action comprises a deep touch or a long touch on the target, wherein the zoom factor is determined based on a degree of pressure or a period of time applied to the touchscreen or a multi-point touch and the zoom factor is determined based on user selection of one or more zoom controls shown on the touchscreen.
