Method, apparatus, and electronic device for obstacle avoidance

An obstacle avoidance apparatus, applicable to an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor, wherein
• the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to:
• obtain obstacle data in a flight environment of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and an image captured by the UAV, wherein the obstacle data is obtained by the UAV based on the image, the obstacle data comprises a physical location of an obstacle and an image location corresponding to the obstacle, and the physical location of the obstacle comprises a distance and an orientation of the obstacle;
• recognize the image to obtain a category of the obstacle;
• obtain a virtual image of the obstacle based on the category of the obstacle;
• superimpose the virtual image on the image at the image location corresponding to the obstacle, to obtain a superimposed image;
• and
• display the superimposed image on a display screen of the electronic device, so that a user controls the UAV to avoid the obstacle according to the superimposed image.
