Abstract
A method for selecting an operation mode of a mobile platform includes detecting a height grade of the mobile platform and selecting an operation mode of the mobile platform according to a result of the detecting.
Claims20
A method for selecting an operation mode of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:
- detecting a height grade of the UAV, wherein detecting the height grade comprises determining a height of the UAV and/or a disparity between first and second images of a remote object from a perspective of the UAV;
- selecting an operation mode of the UAV from a plurality of height modes according to the determined height grade, wherein the plurality of height modes comprises a first height mode and a second height mode, the first height mode being a monocular mode and the second height mode being a stereo vision mode;
- and
- controlling, by a processor, the UAV to operate based on the selected operation mode.
