Abstract
An aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a recording unit, a detection unit, and a reproduction unit. The recording unit records a flight parameter during flight in a state in which no sensor abnormality is detected. The detection unit detects the sensor abnormality. The reproduction unit reproduces the flight parameter on the basis of the sensor abnormality detected by the detection unit.
Claims13
An aerial vehicle, comprising:
- a recording unit configured to record a flight parameter of the aerial vehicle, wherein
- the flight parameter is recorded in a case where the aerial vehicle is in flight in a state that corresponds to an absence of detection of sensor abnormality for one or more sensors associated with the aerial vehicle;
- an operation information acquisition unit configured to:
- acquire operation information associated with the aerial vehicle;
- and
- provide information regarding one of a presence or an absence of the operation information;
- a detection unit configured to:
- receive the information regarding the one of the presence or the absence of the operation information, wherein
- the received information indicates no operation information,
- the no operation information is associated with a state of a hovering operation of the aerial vehicle, and
- the hovering operation includes a state in which coordinates of the aerial vehicle remains same;
- determine a difference between first sensor information acquired by the one or more sensors and second sensor information acquired by the one or more sensors, wherein
- the first sensor information is acquired at a specific time before a current time, and
- the second sensor information is acquired at the current time;
- and
- detect the sensor abnormality based on the difference that is equal to or higher than a specific value in a case where the received information indicates the no operation information;
- and
- a reproduction unit configured to reproduce the flight parameter based on the detected sensor abnormality.

A control method executed by a computer system, the method comprising:
- recording a flight parameter of an aerial vehicle, wherein
- the flight parameter is recorded in a case where the aerial vehicle is in flight in a state that corresponds to an absence of detection of sensor abnormality for one or more sensors associated with the aerial vehicle;
- acquiring, by an operation information acquisition unit of the computer system, operation information associated with the aerial vehicle;
- providing, by the operation information acquisition unit, information regarding one of a presence or an absence of the operation information;
- receiving, by a detection unit of the computer system, the information regarding the one of the presence or the absence of the operation information, wherein
- the received information indicates no operation information,
- the no operation information is associated with a state of a hovering operation of the aerial vehicle, and
- the hovering operation includes a state in which coordinates of the aerial vehicle remains same;
- determining a difference between first sensor information acquired by the one or more sensors and second sensor information acquired by the one or more sensors, wherein
- the first sensor information is acquired at a specific time before a current time, and
- the second sensor information is acquired at the current time;
- detecting the sensor abnormality based on the difference that is equal to or higher than a specific value in a case where the received information indicates the no operation information;
- and
- reproducing the flight parameter based on the detected sensor abnormality.
