Abstract:
Provided is a method for an unmanned aerial vehicle to handle goods in cooperation with an autonomous vehicle. The method comprises capturing, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, an image of the autonomous vehicle having a goods storage box, recognizing, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, a marker displayed in the goods storage box by analyzing the captured image, identifying, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, a region occupied by the marker on the captured image, adjusting a relative position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the autonomous vehicle, wherein the marker displayed in the goods storage box is covered by a lid of the goods storage box and placed in a state that cannot be captured by the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the marker is exposed in a state that can be captured by the unmanned aerial vehicle only when the lid of the storage box is opened by communication between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the autonomous vehicle.
