    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a vehicle body, one or more propulsion units coupled to the vehicle body and configured to effect movement of the UAV, and one or more processors coupled to the one or more propulsion units and individually or collectively configured to receive one or more sets of altitude restrictions for the UAV, receive location information indicating a current location of the UAV, determine a priority of the one or more sets of altitude restrictions by which the UAV abides based on the location information, select a set from the one or more sets of altitude restrictions based on the determined priority, and generate control signals to control the one or more propulsion units such that the UAV is operated in compliance with the selected set of altitude restrictions.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a movable object to track a target object includes determining a change in one or more features between a first image frame and a second image frame, and adjusting a movement of the movable object based on the change in the one or more features between the first image frame and the second image frame. The one or more features are associated with the target object, and the first image frame and the second image frame are captured at different points in time using an imaging device on the movable object.

    Abstract: An imaging method includes determining a target position in an imaging frame of an image capturing mechanism connected with a positioning mechanism, outputting a capturing instruction to control the image capturing mechanism to capture a scene including a human face after the target position is determined, detecting the human face from the captured scene, and outputting a control instruction to position the detected human face at the target position by moving the positioning mechanism to move the image capturing mechanism.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a vehicle body, one or more propulsion units coupled to the vehicle body, and one or more processors operably coupled to the one or more propulsion units. The one or more processors are configured to receive one or more original altitude restrictions for the UAV, receive elevation information for an area the UAV is operating in or will operate in, determine one or more modified altitude restrictions based on the one or more original altitude restrictions and the elevation information, compare the one or more modified altitude restrictions with a legal altitude restriction to determine whether the one or more modified altitude restrictions are legally compliant, and if so, control the one or more propulsion units to cause the UAV to comply with the one or more modified altitude restrictions while operating in the area.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving a plurality of images from an imaging device carried by a movable object. The method further includes determining whether an environment type of the movable object is a first type or a second type according to sensing data received from one or more sensors of the movable object, identifying a target based on the plurality of images using a first method in response to determining that the environment type is the first type and using a second method different from the first method in response to determining that the environment type is the second type, and determining state information of the movable object or the target based on the plurality of images.

    Abstract: A photographing control method includes obtaining a plurality sets of shooting information including shooting location information and shooing angle information for a target object, and determining location estimation information for the target object based on at least two sets of shooting information selected from the plurality sets of shooting information. The shooting location information in the at least two sets of shooting information corresponds to different locations. The method further includes generating a shooting adjustment instruction based on the location estimation information, and adjusting a shooting angle of a photographing device according to the shooting adjustment instruction to place a location corresponding to the location estimation information within a viewing angle of the photographing device.
