    Abstract: A method, system, article of manufacture, and UAV configured to identify a target object shown in an image, such as shown in a perspective view that is a two-dimensional image or frame of video. The method comprises: identifying and track the position of a target object shown in a sequence of images or video, even when the target object may be traveling at high speeds, detecting the target object within an image based on one or more of the object's physical characteristics, such as its color, shape, size, chrominance, luminance, brightness, lightness, darkness, and/or other characteristics. Thus, in this context a target object may be anything having one or more detectable physical characteristics. The method also providing an improved and more intuitive user interface that enables a user to select a target object for tracking. As a result, the method and system improve the accuracy, usability, and robustness of the system.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems of tracking a target with an imaging device onboard an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method may comprise identifying one or more targets in a first image captured by the imaging device, receiving a user selection of a target to be tracked from the one or more targets in the one or more images, generating target information for the target to be tracked based on the user selection of the target, detecting a deviation of a detected position and/or a detected size of the target in a second image captured by the imaging device from the selected position and/or the selected size of the target in the first image and adjusting at least one of the UAV and the carrier, to reduce the determined deviation to maintain the target substantially within the field of view of the image device, based on the deviation.

    Abstract: The present invention provides systems, methods, and devices related to target tracking by UAVs. The UAV may be configured to receive target information from a control terminal related to a target to be tracked by an imaging device coupled to the UAV. The target information may be used by the UAV to automatically track the target so as to maintain predetermined position and/or size of the target within one or more images captured by the imaging device. The control terminal may be configured to display images from the imaging device as well as allowing user input related to the target information.
