US 2019/0094850 A1 · TECHNIQUES FOR IMAGE RECOGNITION-BASED AERIAL VEHICLE NAVIGATION

Abstract

A system for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a processor and a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive image data from a camera coupled to the UAV that is associated with a first view of the camera, send the image data in real time to a client device, and receive control data from the client device. The control data is associated one or more reference coordinates corresponding to a gesture-based input indicating a change from the first view to a second view of the camera. The gesture-based input is associated with at least one region of the image data. The instructions further cause the processor to control the UAV to change at least one of a position or an attitude of the UAV based on the control data.

Dependent claims

A system for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:

a processor;
and
a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive image data from a camera coupled to the UAV, the image data being associated with a first view of the camera;
send the image data in real time to a client device;
receive control data from the client device, the control data being associated one or more reference coordinates corresponding to a gesture-based input indicating a change from the first view to a second view of the camera, and the gesture-based input being associated with at least one region of the image data;
and
control the UAV to change at least one of a position or an attitude of the UAV based on the control data.

5 more elements

A method for controlling a movable object with an image capture device comprising:

capturing image data associated with a first view of the image capture device;
receiving control data, the control data being associated with one or more reference coordinates corresponding to a gesture-based input indicating a change from the first view to a second view of the image capture device, and the gesture-based input being associated with at least one region of the image data;
and
controlling at least one of the movable object or the image capture device to move based on the control data.

1 more element

A system for controlling a movable object comprising:

an image capture device coupled to the movable object and configured to capture image data associated with a first view of the image capture device;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive the image data from the image capture device;
receiving control data, the control data being associated with one or more reference coordinates corresponding to a gesture-based input indicating a change from the first view to a second view of the image capture device, and the gesture-based input being associated with at least one region of the image data;
and
controlling at least one of the movable object or the image capture device to move based on the control data.
