Abstract
An image capturing method for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes determining whether the UAV is in a ground mode in which the UAV is carried by a carrier or a flight mode in which the UAV is released from the carrier, automatically adjusting a state of a camera carried by the UAV to be a first state in response to the UAV being in the ground mode or a second state in response to the UAV being in the flight mode, and controlling the camera to capture an image using the first state in response to the UAV being in the ground mode or the second state in response to the UAV being in the flight mode.
Claims20
An image capturing method for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:
- determining, with aid of one or more processors individually or collectively, whether the UAV is in:
- a ground mode in which the UAV is carried by a carrier, or a flight mode in which the UAV is released from the carrier;
- automatically adjusting a state of a camera carried by the UAV to be:
- a first state in response to the UAV being in the ground mode, or a second state in response to the UAV being in the flight mode;
- and
- controlling the camera to capture an image using:
- the first state in response to the UAV being in the ground mode, or the second state in response to the UAV being in the flight mode.
An image capturing system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:
- one or more processors, individually or collectively configured to:
- determine whether the UAV is in:
- a ground mode in which the UAV is carried by a carrier, or a flight mode in which the UAV is released from the carrier;
- automatically adjust a state of a camera carried by the UAV to be:
- a first state in response to the UAV being in the ground mode, or
- a second state in response to the UAV being in the flight mode;
- and
- control the camera to capture an image using:
- the first state in response to the UAV being in the ground mode, or
- the second state in response to the UAV being in the flight mode.
