  • Patent number: 11042997
    Abstract: A panoramic photographing method for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and an UAV using the same are provided. The panoramic photographing method includes steps of: disposing a digital camera on an UAV; recording a flying altitude and a flying angle of the UAV of each of photographed pictures when a panoramic photographing process is performed; performing an image stitching process, determining overlapped regions of the two photographed pictures, and obtaining a feature operation region by way of division according to the flying altitude and the flying angle of the UAV; and performing a feature operation in the overlapped regions of the two photographed pictures to determine an image stitching location, and thus generate a panoramic picture.

  • Publication number: 20150168185
    Abstract: A re-modularized sensing device is disclosed, which is especially for a sensing system having a power unit, a sensing unit, a processing unit, and a transceiver unit is disclosed. The power unit provides electricity for the modularized sensing device. The sensing unit derives at least one environmental data. The processing unit has a sensing device processing application program for calculating the environmental data and generating a first outcome. The transceiver unit transfers the first outcome and a first signal to the host. And one or more modules are formed by the sensing unit, the processing unit, and the power unit, and each module is individually removable and replaceable. And an initialization method of the sensing system using the re-modularized sensing device is also disclosed.
