Abstract: Consumption information associated with a user consuming video segments may be obtained. The consumption information may define user engagement during a video segment and/or user response to the video segment. Sets of flight control settings associated with capture of the video segments may be obtained. The flight control settings may define aspects of a flight control subsystem for the unmanned aerial vehicle and/or a sensor control subsystem for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The preferences for the flight control settings of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be determined based upon the first set and the second set of flight control settings. Instructions may be transmitted to the unmanned aerial vehicle. The instructions may include the determined preferences for the flight control settings and being configured to cause the unmanned aerial vehicle to adjust the flight control settings to the determined preferences.

Abstract: A first pattern associated with a performer may be recognized based upon visual information. A sensor carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle may be configured to generate output signals conveying the visual information. A first distance may be determined between the first pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. A second pattern associated with a performee may be recognized based upon the visual information. A second distance may be determined between the second pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. Flight control may be adjusted based upon the first distance and the second distance. A flight control subsystem may be configured to provide the flight control for the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle recognize and interpret gestures by a user. The gestures are interpreted to adjust the operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a sensor carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle, or both.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on opposing fields of view with overlap. The UAV may include a housing, a motor, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first optical element having a first field of view greater than 180 degrees, a second optical element having a second field of view greater than 180 degrees, and one or more processors. The first optical element and the second optical element may be carried by the housing such that a centerline of the second field of view is substantially opposite from a centerline of the first field of view, and a peripheral portion of the first field of view and a peripheral portion of the second field of view overlap. Flight control for the UAV may be provided based on parallax disparity of an object within the overlapping fields of view.

Abstract: A method for an electric device to take a panoramic photograph is provided and the method includes following steps. A first image is captured. A first line is displayed on a preview window. A first graphical object and a second graphical object are displayed on the first line. Posture information of the electric device is obtained. The second graphical object is moved along the first line according to the posture information. It is determined if the electric device is panned horizontally or tilted vertically according to the first line. A second image is captured if the second graphical object reaches the first graphical object and the electric device is panned horizontally or tilted vertically. The panoramic photograph is generated according to the first image and the second image. Accordingly, a user obtains a panoramic photograph easily.

Abstract: Image capture methods and systems are provided. First, at least one preview image is captured via an image capture unit of an electronic device. It is determined whether an image capturing status is stable or not according to the preview image. When the image capturing status is stable, the electronic device is enabled to perform a photography process to obtain an image via the image capture unit.
