Abstract:
A panoramic photographing method for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and an UAV using the same are provided. The panoramic photographing method includes steps of: disposing a digital camera on an UAV; recording a flying altitude and a flying angle of the UAV of each of photographed pictures when a panoramic photographing process is performed; performing an image stitching process, determining overlapped regions of the two photographed pictures, and obtaining a feature operation region by way of division according to the flying altitude and the flying angle of the UAV; and performing a feature operation in the overlapped regions of the two photographed pictures to determine an image stitching location, and thus generate a panoramic picture.
