Abstract: This disclosure describes a method of controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The steps of controlling include acquiring images with an image capture device of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The steps include analyzing the images to determine navigation information of the UAV with a vision-based navigation system. The steps include tracking a position of the UAV with the vision-based navigation system. The steps include controlling rotors of the UAV to prevent deviations in movement from a desired flight path or position of the UAV. The steps include limiting travel or flight of the UAV to a physical region determined by the desired flight path.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for a multipoint cable cam (MPCC) of an aerial vehicle. A method includes operations of receiving user input associated with a predetermined path and correlating the received user input with stored global positioning satellite (GPS) data to generate one or more virtual waypoints along the predetermined path. The method includes processing the one or more virtual waypoints to generate a spline-based flight path. The method may include storing the spline-based flight path and transmitting the spline-based flight path to the aerial vehicle.
