  • Publication number: 20230280745
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling flight of an aircraft carrying an imaging device. The imaging device is mounted at a gimbal. The method includes in response to receiving a triggering operation that triggers the aircraft to operate in an image control mode, obtaining an environment image captured by the imaging device, recognizing a gesture of a target user in the environment image, and in response to recognizing that the gesture of the target user is a start-flight gesture, generating a takeoff control command to control the aircraft to take off. Obtaining the environment image includes after obtaining the triggering operation, controlling the gimbal to rotate to control the imaging device to scan and photograph in a predetermined photographing range, and obtaining the environment image including a characteristic part of the target user that is captured by the imaging device through scanning and photographing in the predetermined photographing range.
