  • Patent number: 10351241
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for an unmanned flying aircraft, such as a drone. Sensor data of at least one imaging sensor and of at least one ranging sensor are received with a sensor interface and are supplied to a signal processing unit that is set up to compare the sensor data with reference data in order to detect at least one predefined object and/or to distinguish it from other objects and to determine the parameters of the detected or distinguished object. The parameters of the predefined objects are then output with an output interface.

  • Publication number: 20180376075
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for recording video data using at least one camera system orientable to objects. The method comprises registering an information processing device on a server with registration data, transmitting parameters for the camera system from the information processing device to the server, transmitting the parameters or the parameters changed by the server from the server to the camera system, and recording video data on a camera of the camera system during orientation of the camera system on the basis of the parameters. Further, the present disclosure relates to a system for recording video data and to a server, a camera system and an information processing device for such a system.

  • Publication number: 20180253091
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control for an unmanned flying object and to a method for controlling an unmanned flying object, in particular for a drone or a multicopter. The control includes an assistance circuit. The control is configured to receive control commands to control the flying object, for example, via a radio interface, to modify the received control commands with the assistance circuit depending on a configuration of the assistance circuit, and to transmit the modified control commands. The assistance circuit has an interface and the configuration of the assistance circuit is reconfigurable with the interface. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a remote control to control the unmanned flying object with the control.
