Information processing method, information processing device, information processing program, and information processing system

An information processing device comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• estimate a relative position of an aerial vehicle with respect to a moving body or a relative attitude of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body:
• acquire information related to a distance between the moving body and the aerial vehicle;
• switch a process by which the relative position of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body or the relative attitude of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body is estimated based on the information related to the distance;
• and
• control a flight of the aerial vehicle based on the relative position or the relative attitude estimated by the switched process.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program for causing one or a plurality of computers to perform a method, the method comprising:

• estimating a relative position of an aerial vehicle with respect to a moving body or a relative attitude of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body;
• acquiring information related to a distance between the moving body and the aerial vehicle;
• switching a process by which the relative position of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body or the relative attitude of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body is estimated based on the information related to the distance;
• and
• controlling a flight of the aerial vehicle based on the relative position or the relative attitude estimated by the switched process.

An information processing system comprising:

• an aerial vehicle;
• one or a plurality of information processing devices directly or indirectly connected to the aerial vehicle via communication;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to
• estimate a relative position of the aerial vehicle with respect to a moving body or a relative attitude of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body;
• acquire information related to a distance between the moving body and the aerial vehicle;
• switch a process by which the relative position of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body or the relative attitude of the aerial vehicle with respect to the moving body is estimated based on the information related to the distance;
• and
• control a flight of the aerial vehicle based on the relative position or the relative attitude estimated by the switched process.
