    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a spatial configuration of a plurality of imaging devices relative to one another and to a movable object. The imaging devices are coupled to the movable object and comprise a first imaging device configured to operate in a multi-ocular mode and a second imaging device configured to operate in a monocular mode. The method further includes determining at least one of a distance of the movable object to an object or surface lying within a field-of-view of at least one of the imaging devices, a disparity between matched points in stereoscopic images acquired by the first imaging device, or an environment in which the plurality of imaging devices are operated. The distance is determined based in part on the spatial configuration. The method also includes selecting either the first imaging device or the second imaging device to acquire image data based on the determination.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for the coordination of actions between movable objects. For example, a method may coordinate actions between at least a first and a second movable object. The method may detect, by the first movable object, the position of a target. The method may control the position of a first movable object based on the position of the target. A command may be received for the first movable object to perform an action in coordination with the second movable object. In some embodiments, the command may be to take images of the target to create a bullet time effect.
