    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling a UAV includes identifying a set of target markers based on a plurality of images captured by an imaging device carried by the UAV, and controlling the UAV to fly based on the set of target markers. The set of target markers include at least two or more types of target markers and are in close proximity to be detected within a same field of view of the imaging device. Controlling the UAV to fly includes controlling the UAV to approach the set of target markers based at least in part on a spatial relationship between the UAV and a first type of target marker; and determining whether to control the UAV to land at or near the set of target markers based on information conveyed by a second type of target marker.

    Abstract: A method for adjusting image exposure includes, while continuously tracking one or more targets using an imaging device mounted on a movable object, receiving a user indication of a target for imaging, determining a first representation of the target, capturing a first image that includes the first representation of the target, determining an exposure parameter for the imaging device using data in the first image that corresponds to the first representation of the target, determining a second representation of the target, capturing a second image including the second representation of the target, and adjusting the exposure parameter for the imaging device using data in the second image that corresponds to the second representation of the target.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for the coordination of actions between movable objects. For example, a method may coordinate actions between at least a first and a second movable object. The method may detect, by the first movable object, the position of a target. The method may control the position of a first movable object based on the position of the target. A command may be received for the first movable object to perform an action in coordination with the second movable object. In some embodiments, the command may be to take images of the target to create a bullet time effect.
