Abstract
A method for detecting a payload on a carrier configured to support the payload includes obtaining a obtaining at least one motion characteristic of the carrier. The at least one motion characteristic is indicative of a coupling state between the carrier and the payload. The method further includes assessing the coupling state between the carrier and the payload based on the at least one motion characteristic. Assessing the coupling state between the carrier and the payload includes at least one of assessing whether the payload is coupled to the carrier or assessing whether the payload is correctly mounted at the carrier.
Claims20
A method for detecting a payload on a carrier configured to support the payload, comprising:
- obtaining, through one or more inertial sensors at the carrier, at least one motion characteristic of the carrier, the at least one motion characteristic being indicative of a coupling state between the carrier and the payload;
- and
- assessing the coupling state between the carrier and the payload based on the at least one motion characteristic, including at least one of:
- assessing whether the payload is coupled to the carrier;
- or
- assessing whether the payload is correctly mounted at the carrier.
An apparatus for detecting a payload on a carrier configured to support the payload, the apparatus comprising one or more processors that are individually or collectively configured to:
- obtain, through one or more inertial sensors at the carrier, at least one motion characteristic of the carrier, the at least one motion characteristic being indicative of a coupling state between the carrier and the payload;
- and
- assess the coupling state between the carrier and the payload based on the at least one motion characteristic, including at least one of:
- assessing whether the payload is coupled to the carrier;
- or
- assessing whether the payload is correctly mounted at the carrier.
A system for detecting a payload on a carrier configured to support the payload, comprising:
- a movable object;
- the carrier configured to operably couple the payload to the movable object;
- and
- one or more processors that are, individually or collectively, configured to:
- obtain, through one or more inertial sensors at the carrier, at least one motion characteristic of the carrier, the at least one motion characteristic being indicative of a coupling state between the carrier and the payload;
- and
- assess the coupling state between the carrier and the payload based on the at least one motion characteristic, including at least one of:
- assessing whether the payload is coupled to the carrier;
- or
- assessing whether the payload is correctly mounted at the carrier.
