Abstract
A flight path generation method includes determining a plurality of photographing positions for a flight vehicle to photograph a subject based on a flight range of the flight vehicle and photographing position intervals, and generating a flight path of the flight vehicle that passes through the photographing positions.
Claims20
A method for controlling a flight vehicle to photograph a subject comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more processors, a flight range of the flight vehicle, an initial photographing position of the flight vehicle, and photographing position intervals, wherein one of the photographing position intervals is determined based on a ratio between a radius of the flight range and a radius of the subject;
- determining, by the one or more processors, a plurality of photographing positions for the flight vehicle to photograph a subject based on the flight range of the flight vehicle, the initial photographing position, and the photographing position intervals, wherein neighboring ones of the plurality of photographing positions are spaced apart by one of the photographing position intervals;
- generating a flight path of the flight vehicle that passes through the plurality of photographing positions;
- and
- controlling the flight vehicle to fly along the flight path and to photograph the subject at the plurality of photographing positions.

A flight vehicle comprising:
- a photographing device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- obtain a flight range of the flight vehicle, an initial photographing position of the flight vehicle, and photographing position intervals, wherein one of the photographing position intervals is determined based on a ratio between a radius of the flight range and a radius of the subject;
- determine a plurality of photographing positions to photograph a subject based on the flight range of the flight vehicle, the initial photographing position, and the photographing position intervals, wherein neighboring ones of the plurality of photographing positions are spaced apart by one of the photographing position intervals;
- generate a flight path of the flight vehicle that passes through the photographing positions;
- and
- control the flight vehicle to fly along the flight path and to photograph the subject at the plurality of photographing positions.
5 more elements
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- obtain a flight range of a flight vehicle, an initial photographing position of the flight vehicle, and photographing position intervals, wherein one of the photographing position intervals is determined based on a ratio between a radius of the flight range and a radius of the subject;
- determine a plurality of photographing positions for the flight vehicle to photograph a subject based on the flight range of the flight vehicle, the initial photographing position, and the photographing position intervals, wherein neighboring ones of the plurality of photographing positions are spaced apart by one of the photographing position intervals;
- generate a flight path of the flight vehicle that passes through the photographing positions;
- and
- control the flight vehicle to fly along the flight path and to photograph the subject at the plurality of photographing positions.
