Abstract
A method for controlling a movable object to track a target object includes determining a change in one or more features between a first image frame and a second image frame, and adjusting a movement of the movable object based on the change in the one or more features between the first image frame and the second image frame. The one or more features are associated with the target object, and the first image frame and the second image frame are captured at different points in time using an imaging device on the movable object.
Claims20
A method for controlling a movable object to track a target object, comprising:
- determining a change in one or more features between a first image frame and a second image frame, the one or more features being associated with the target object, and the first image frame and the second image frame being captured at different points in time using an imaging device on the movable object;
- and
- adjusting a movement of the movable object based on the change in the one or more features between the first image frame and the second image frame.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, causes a computer to perform a method for controlling a movable object to track a target object, the method comprising:
- determining a change in one or more features between a first image frame and a second image frame, the one or more features being associated with the target object, and the first image frame and the second image frame being captured at different points in time using an imaging device on the movable object;
- and
- adjusting a movement of the movable object based on the change in the one or more features between the first image frame and the second image frame.
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system comprising:
- an imaging device configured to capture a first image frame and a second image frame at different points in time;
- and
- an apparatus operable to control the UAV to track a target object, the apparatus comprising one or more processors that are, individually or collectively, configured to:
- determine a change in one or more features between the first image frame and the second image frame, the one or more features being associated with the target object;
- and
- adjust a movement of the UAV based on the change in the one or more features between the first image frame and the second image frame.
