  • Patent number: 10395390
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for controlling a movable object using multiple sensors. In one aspect, a method for calibrating one or more extrinsic parameters of a movable object having a plurality of sensors in an initial configuration is provided. The method can comprise: detecting that the initial configuration of the plurality of sensors has been modified; receiving inertial data from at least one inertial sensor during operation of the movable object; receiving image data from at least two image sensors during the operation of the movable object; and estimating the one or more extrinsic parameters based on the inertial data and the image data in response to detecting that the initial configuration has been modified, wherein the one or more extrinsic parameters comprise spatial relationships between the plurality of sensors in the modified configuration.

  • Publication number: 20190251851
    Abstract: A navigation method includes obtaining a route mark in a three-dimensional map. The navigation method also includes generating a navigation route based on the route mark, the navigation route circumventing a specified object in the three-dimensional map. The navigation method further includes sending a motion instruction to a movable object based on the navigation route.
