A UAV includes an application processing circuit configured to process primary image data obtained by a primary imaging sensor carried by a gimbal; a real-time sensing circuit configured to process, in a real time manner, secondary image data obtained by a secondary imaging sensor not carried by a gimbal; and a flight control circuit. The flight control circuit is configured to communicate, through a first communication channel, with the application processing circuit to receive the processed primary image data and use the processed primary image data to control the UAV to perform a first function; and communicate, through a second communication channel, with the real-time sensing circuit to receive the processed secondary image data and use the processed secondary image data to control the UAV to perform a second function different from the first function. The second communication channel is independent from the first communication channel.

UAV hardware architecture

A method for controlling target tracking includes determining whether a tracking mode of a movable object is a manual tracking mode or an automatic tracking mode; when it is determined that the tracking mode is the manual tracking mode, determining a target for the movable object from one or more images based on a user input; when it is determined that the tracking mode is the automatic tracking mode, having the movable object determine the target automatically; and directing the movable object to track a target object using the target.

A system includes a flight controller. The flight controller is configured to, in response to a first user interface receiving a first user input, generate a first control signal. The first control signal is configured to control an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to effect an autonomous flight with a first flight parameter and a second flight parameter. In response to a second user interface, different from the first user interface, receiving a second user input, the flight controller is further configured to modify the first flight parameter to obtain a modified first flight parameter, generate a second control signal based on the modified first flight parameter and the second flight parameter, and control the UAV to operate based on the second control signal.

Methods and associated systems and apparatus for controlling a moveable device are disclosed herein. The moveable device includes an image-collection component and a distance-measurement component. A representative method includes generating an image corresponding to the operator and generating a first set of distance information corresponding to the operator. The method identifies a portion of the image in the generated image and then retrieves a second set of distance information from the first set of distance information based on the identified image portion corresponding to the operator. The method then identifies a gesture associated with the operator based on the second set of distance information. The method then further generates an instruction for controlling the moveable device based on the gesture.
