Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods, apparatuses and systems for network based operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle. One apparatus includes a controller. The controller is operative to receive a request for change in a camera view of a camera of a drone from a tele-operator, generate positioning of a reticle of a display of the tele-operator based on the received request for change in the camera view, and generate a camera attitude control based on the received request for change in the camera view, wherein the camera attitude control provides orientation control of the camera of the drone, wherein the positioning control of the reticle is more responsive than the orientation control of the camera.

Abstract: A system has a drone session server to collect drone session information. A drone user machine is in a client relationship with the drone session server. A drone control machine is in a client relationship with the drone session server and a peer-to-peer relationship with the drone user machine. The drone control machine is configured to relay video data from a drone to the drone user machine via a peer-to-peer connection. The drone control machine evaluates user commands collected by the drone user machine that are relayed to the drone control machine via the peer-to-peer connection to produce enforced limits commands to maintain the drone within a three-dimensional geographical fence. The drone control machine sends autopilot commands to the drone to transport the drone from the three-dimensional geographical fence to a land site to complete a drone session.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is configured to navigate to a first location point from a plurality of location points. The plurality of location points defines a flight pattern. The UAV is further configured to receive a set of location coordinates of a moving object. The UAV is configured to determine the distance between the moving object and the UAV based on the set of location coordinates of the moving object and the first location point of the UAV. When the distance between the moving object and the UAV reaches a pre-determined threshold, the UAV is configured to advance to a second location point from the plurality of location points.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory is connected to the processor and stores instructions executed by the processor to receive a video segment of a moving object recorded by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The memory also stores instructions executed by the processor to receive a measured moving object parameter and edit the video segment of the moving object based on the measured moving object parameter to form an edited video segment. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to send the edited video segment.
