    Abstract: A control device includes a touchscreen and one or more processors. The touchscreen is configured to display an image captured by an imaging device supported by a movable object or a carrier coupled to the movable object, and receive a user input indicative of selection of a position on the touchscreen to display a selected target of the image and selection of a zoom factor for zooming in or out of the selected target. The one or more processors are configured to generate control data based on information about the user input. The control data includes instructions for the imaging device, the carrier, or the movable object to automatically control an attitude of the imaging device for positioning the selected target at or near the selected position on the touchscreen and a zoom level of the imaging device according to the user selected zoom factor.

    Abstract: A method for tracking includes obtaining an infrared image and a visible image from an imaging device supported by a carrier of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), combining the infrared image and the visible image to obtain a combined image, identifying a target in the combined image, and controlling at least one of the UAV, the carrier, or the imaging device to track the identified target. Combing the infrared image and the visible image includes matching the infrared image and the visible image based on matching results of different matching methods.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for tracking a maximum temperature point. In the method, a first pair of coordinates of a maximum temperature point in an image sensed by an infrared camera is acquired, where the image is an image captured by the infrared camera. A rotation angle of a gimbal equipped with the infrared camera is then determined according to the first pair of coordinates of the maximum temperature point and a pair of coordinates of a target position in the image. The gimbal is then controlled to rotate according to the determined rotation angle, so as to adjust the maximum temperature point in the image captured by the infrared camera to be located at the target position.

    Abstract: A system for landing a mobile platform, such as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (“UAV”) and methods for making and using the same. The system can land the UAV by applying a magnetic levitation force upon the UAV and adjusting the applied magnetic levitation force. The system can initiate a landing process to a designated docking station and can guide the UAV to an adjacency of the designated docking station. Once the UAV has entered the adjacency, the magnetic levitation forces can take control of the landing process. During the landing process, certain magnetic sensitive devices installed on the UAV and/or on the designated docking station can be protected by turning them off or by shielding them. The system overcomes disadvantages of currently-available landing systems by restricting a size and weight of the landing arrangements, as well as, avoiding potential damage to the UAV and the designated docking station.
