Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for performing custom waypoint missions using an onboard computing device in communication with a movable object. The movable object can include a flight controller, and a communication system. The flight controller can be in communication with the onboard computing device which includes a processor and an onboard data manager. The onboard data manager can receive at least one input, determine one or more instructions to be performed by the at least one movable object based on the at least one input, generate movement commands to implement the one or more instructions, and send movement commands to the flight controller to be executed.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for communicating between a client device and an onboard data manager in a movable object environment. A data manager on a user device can identify an onboard data manager on a movable object. A feature list can be received from the onboard data manager, the feature list identifying at least one feature installed to the movable object. At least one input can be received by the user device, and a user device feature corresponding to the at least one input can be determined. It may be further determined that the user device feature is supported by the onboard data manager based on the feature list. In response to determining that the user device feature is supported, a first instruction corresponding to the at least one input can be sent to the movable object including the onboard data manager.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for real-time mapping in a movable object environment. A real-time mapping system can include at least one movable object including a computing device, a scanning sensor electronically coupled to the computing device, and a positioning sensor electronically coupled to the computing device. The computing device can include at least one processor and a mapping manager, the mapping manager may be configured to obtain mapping data from the scanning sensor and obtain positioning data from the positioning sensor. The mapping manager can associate the mapping data with the positioning data based at least on time data associated with the mapping data and the positioning data, and then generate a map in a first coordinate system based at least on the associated mapping data and positioning data.
