Abstract
A method for processing flight data includes acquiring, by detecting devices carried by one or more first aerial vehicles, environmental data associated to a position region; and sending, by the one or more first aerial vehicles, the environmental data to an external device. The environmental data is configured to generate a flight control instruction for controlling an operation of a second aerial vehicle while the second aerial vehicle is within the position region.
Claims20
A method for processing flight data comprising:
- acquiring, by detecting devices carried by one or more first aerial vehicles, environmental data associated to a position region, the environmental data including obstacle data within the position region;
- establishing a wireless connection between the one or more first aerial vehicles and an external device, the wireless connection including at least one of a WIFI network, a satellite network, or a cellular network;
- and
- sending, by the one or more first aerial vehicles through the wireless connection, the environmental data to the external device, the environmental data being configured to generate a flight control instruction for controlling an operation of a second aerial vehicle while the second aerial vehicle is within the position region, the flight control instruction including an instruction for controlling the second aerial vehicle to perform obstacle avoidance based on the obstacle data, the and the external device being external to and remotely connected to the second aerial vehicle.
An aerial vehicle comprising:
- a memory storing a software program;
- and
- a flight controller configured to execute the software program to:
- acquire, by detecting devices carried by the aerial vehicle, flight path data associated to a position region;
- and
- send the flight path data to an external device, the flight path data being configured to generate a flight control instruction for controlling an operation of another aerial vehicle while the another aerial vehicle is within the position region, the flight control instruction including an instruction for controlling the another aerial vehicle to fly along a path indicated by the flight path data, the external device being external to the another aerial vehicle.
A method for processing flight data comprising:
- receiving, at an external device, environmental data acquired and uploaded by one or more first aerial vehicles, the environmental data including obstacle data within the position region;
- based on position data included in the received environmental data, obtaining flight indication data of a corresponding position region;
- establishing a wireless connection between the external device and the one or more first aerial vehicles, the wireless connection including at least one of a WIFI network, a satellite network, or a cellular network;
- and
- sending the flight indication data to a second aerial vehicle sending a download request, the external device being external to both the one or more first aerial vehicle and the second aerial vehicle, the flight indication data being configured to generate a flight control instruction for controlling an operation of the second aerial vehicle while the second aerial vehicle is within the corresponding position region, and the flight control instruction including an instruction for controlling the second aerial vehicle to perform obstacle avoidance based on the obstacle data.
