Method and apparatus for handling goods by unmanned aerial vehicle and autonomous vehicle

An unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:

• a thrust generating unit for generating a thrust to move an unmanned aerial vehicle to an autonomous vehicle having a storage box for storing goods;
• a camera for capturing the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• a control unit for recognizing a marker located at the storage box by analyzing the captured image, controlling the thrust generating unit to adjust a relative position of the autonomous vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicle based on a recognition state of the marker,
• wherein the control unit calculates a distance between center coordinates of a region occupied by the marker in the captured image and center coordinates of the image, determines that the position adjustment is completed when the calculated distance is within a threshold distance, and controls the thrust generating unit so that the relative position of the autonomous vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicle is adjusted when the calculated distance exceeds the threshold distance,
• wherein the marker located at the storage box is covered by a lid of the storage box and placed in a state that is invisible to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the marker is exposed in a state that is visible to the unmanned aerial vehicle only when the lid of the storage box is opened by communication between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the autonomous vehicle.
