System and method for supporting smooth target following

A system for controlling target tracking, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine a target for a movable object to track in one or more images captured by the movable object;
• direct the movable object to track a target object using the target;
• and
• in response to a loss of the target in one or more images during tracking, control the movable object to redetect the target using one or more subsequent images captured by the movable object to continue tracking the target object, including:
• adjusting both the movable object and an imaging device carried by the movable object in a same axis to redetect the target using the one or more subsequent images captured by the imaging device to continue tracking the target object.
