Abstract: A method for controlling image capture includes receiving, from a movable device, an image of a target imaging area; adjusting, by a first control apparatus and a second control apparatus, one or more imaging parameters for imaging the target imaging area based at least in part on the image to obtain one or more adjusted imaging parameters; and sending, by the first control apparatus and/or the second control apparatus, an instruction carrying the one or more adjusted imaging parameters to the movable device.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a gimbal includes one or more processors individually or collectively configured to determine an operation mode of the gimbal according to a mode selection activation condition. The operation mode includes a walk operation mode or a sensitive operation mode. the one or more processors are further configured to, in response to determining that the operation mode is the walk operation mode, control the gimbal to adjust attitude at a lower responding speed than in the sensitive operation mode.

Abstract: A method for controlling flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes obtaining information about a location of an object of interest, and calculating, during operation of the UAV, a flight-restricted distance for the UAV to maintain relative to the object of interest. The flight-restricted distance is calculated based on a safety factor and the safety factor is determined based on an object classification. The method further includes controlling flight of the UAV to maintain the flight-restricted distance relative to the object of interest.

Abstract: A gimbal includes an adjustment mechanism and a processor in communication with the adjustment mechanism. The processor is configured to obtain a mode selection activation condition and determine an operation mode according to the mode selection activation condition. The mode selection activation condition includes at least one of a control instruction or an attitude change parameter of the adjustment mechanism. The operation mode includes a walk operation mode or a sensitive operation mode. The adjustment mechanism is configured to change attitude in the walk operation mode at a lower responding speed than in the sensitive operation mode.

Abstract: A control method includes sending a switching signal to a camera to control the camera to switch between a landscape shot-mode and a portrait shot-mode, receiving an image from the camera, determining whether a display screen is in a landscape orientation or in a portrait orientation, and controlling the display screen to display the image upright. The image includes a landscape image captured by the camera in the landscape shot-mode or a portrait image captured by the camera in the portrait shot-mode. Controlling the display screen to display the image upright includes controlling the display screen to display the portrait image upright when the display screen is in the landscape orientation or controlling the display screen to display the landscape image upright when the display screen is in the portrait orientation.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a clamping mechanism having a base. A first holding mechanism extends from one side of the base and movable to form an unfolded position and a folded position relative to the base. A second holding mechanism extends from another side of the base and movable to form the unfolded position and the folded position. The first holding mechanism restricts movement of an electronic device clamped on the clamping mechanism in a first direction in the unfolded position, the second holding mechanism restricts movement of the electronic device in a second direction in the unfolded position, and the second direction is different from the first direction. The present disclosure further provides a pan-tilt-zoom assembly with a clamping mechanism. The PTZ assembly with the clamping mechanism is suited for one-hand user operations and is not top-heavy.

Abstract: A method for controlling a gimbal includes obtaining a current angle of view of a photographing device provided on the gimbal, determining, according to the current angle of view, an adjustment strategy for adjusting the gimbal that allows the photographing device to output stable images, and adjusting the gimbal according to the adjustment strategy.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for managing flight restriction regions. The flight restriction regions of the present disclosure may comprise a plurality of distinct levels and may comprise releasable flight restriction regions. The releasable flight restriction regions may be released based on authentication of an operator of a UAV.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for monitoring an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method may comprise: generating, with aid of one or more processors, a datagram comprising monitoring data indicating at least one of: a location of the UAV or a location of a control station in communication with the UAV; and transmitting the datagram along with working data for communication between the UAV and the control station such that datagram can be received by the one or more detectors within a range of the UAV.

Abstract: A method of providing prompt information includes obtaining sensitive area information and marking a sensitive area on a navigation map according to the sensitive area information. The sensitive area affects a flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method further includes obtaining position information of the UAV, determining a positional relationship between the UAV and the sensitive area according to the sensitive area information and the position information of the UAV, and generating the prompt information according to the positional relationship.
