    摘要: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a vehicle body, one or more propulsion units coupled to the vehicle body and configured to effect movement of the UAV, and one or more processors coupled to the one or more propulsion units and individually or collectively configured to receive one or more sets of altitude restrictions for the UAV, receive location information indicating a current location of the UAV, determine a priority of the one or more sets of altitude restrictions by which the UAV abides based on the location information, select a set from the one or more sets of altitude restrictions based on the determined priority, and generate control signals to control the one or more propulsion units such that the UAV is operated in compliance with the selected set of altitude restrictions.

    摘要: A method for controlling a movable object includes obtaining current location information of an obstacle while the movable object tracks a target, determining whether the obstacle is located in a reactive region relative to the movable object based on the current location information of the obstacle, and, in response to determining that the obstacle is not located in the reactive region, selecting an optimized set of candidate movement characteristics having an optimized route optimization score from multiple sets of candidate movement characteristics, and adjusting one or more movement characteristics of the movable object based on the optimized set of candidate movement characteristics such that a distance between the movable object and the obstacle is maintained at or beyond a predefined distance. Each set of candidate movement characteristics among the multiple sets of candidate movement characteristics corresponds to a route optimization score.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining an image frame captured by an imaging device carried by an unmanned vehicle and containing the target object, extracting one or more features of a target object from a region selected by a user on the image frame, and determining whether the target object is a predetermined recognizable object type based on a comparison of the one or more features with one or more characteristics associated with the predetermined recognizable object type. In response to the target object being the predetermined recognizable object type, tracking functions associated with the predetermined recognizable object type are initiated. In response to the target object not belonging to the predetermined recognizable object type, tracking functions associated with a general object type are initiated.

    摘要: An imaging apparatus includes first and second imaging devices configured to capture first and second images of a scene, respectively. The first and second images include multiple first image blocks relative to a first coordinate system and multiple second image blocks relative to a second coordinate system, respectively. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to calibrate one or more first image blocks and one or more corresponding second image blocks using the first and second coordinate systems, convert each calibrated first image block to an intensity image and a first depth map, convert each calibrated second image block to a grayscale image, and generate a second depth map associated with the second image by enhancing a resolution of the first depth map for each calibrated first image block based on calculating a relationship between the intensity image and the grayscale image for each calibrated first and second image blocks.

    摘要: A method for locating a moving object includes obtaining an approximate displacement of the moving object between a first time point and a second time point based on location measurements of the moving object at the first time point and the second time point, processing inertial measurements of the moving object at a plurality of interval time points between the first time point and the second time point to acquire movement characteristics of the moving object between the first time point and the second time point, and determining an estimated displacement of the moving object at one of the interval time points between the first time point and the second time point based on the acquired movement characteristics of the moving object and the approximate displacement of the moving object between the first time point and the second time point.

    摘要: An image processing method includes obtaining an image frame through an imaging device over a period of time. The image frame includes a plurality of groups of pixels that are exposed to light at different time points within the period of time. The method further includes obtaining attitude information of the imaging device during the period of time, deriving positional state of an individual group of pixels in the plurality of groups of pixels based on the attitude information of the imaging device, and processing the image frame using the positional state.

    摘要: 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.
