A system () for displaying an optical image () by means of unmanned autonomous vehicles. Each vehicle has a display for displaying at least a part of the image () by way of stored or transmitted image information as well as a control unit (). The control unit () is configured to control the image information and to move the vehicle using a drive unit () by means of stored or transmitted positon information. At least two vehicles are configured as land crafts (), wherein the displays () of the land crafts () are oriented in parallel to a substantially horizontal image plane () and configured as displays () accessible by a human person.

System for displaying an optical image

A system composed of at least two unmanned aerial vehicles, each aerial vehicle comprising a drive unit, a flight control unit for controlling the trajectory of the aerial vehicle by means of the drive unit and a rechargeable power cell. Each aerial vehicle comprises an electrical first interface, and the system comprises at least one transport device with at least one chamber defined by boundary elements, in particular corner elements, for receiving the aerial vehicles stacked essentially vertically in the operating position and an electrical control and supply system for charging the power cells and/or for communicating with the flight control units via the first interfaces.

System and transport device for unmanned aerial vehicles

An unmanned aerial vehicle having a drive unit for enabling the flight of the aerial vehicle in air space and having a flight control unit, which is configured to receive control information from a radio remote control or to control positions of the aerial vehicle in air space that employ stored position information in order to control the flight course of the aerial vehicle. A modular flight formation control unit has a first interface with the flight control unit and a second radio interface to a flight formation ground control unit or with flight formation control units of other aerial vehicles, and the flight formation control unit configured to generate or send control information corresponding to the radio remote control and is configured to output, via the first interface, flight formation control information relevant for the formation flight of at least two aerial vehicles to the flight control unit.

Unmanned aircraft with a modular swarm control unit

A system for controlling at least two unmanned aerial vehicles in a flight formation, wherein each aerial vehicle has a flight control unit for controlling the flight path of the aerial vehicle and a camera that may be rotated by an orientation means about one axis, wherein in the system there is provided a flight formation control unit for the wireless communication with the aerial vehicles. The flight formation control unit is configured to control the flight control units and the orientation means during a recording of a moving object that will be filmed so that a spatial arrangement of the aerial vehicles in relation to the object and the orientation of the optical axis of each camera in relation to the object and/or in relation to the orientation(s) of the optical axis/axes of the other camera(s) is substantially maintained and optionally adjusted substantially in real time.

System for controlling unmanned aerial vehicles in a flight formation in order to film a moving object using several cameras

According to the invention, navigational information for a vehicle is displayed intuitively and in an easily comprehensible manner in the form of a virtual pilot vehicle, superimposed on an image of the vehicle environment. The display mode and/or position and/or orientation and/or size of the virtual pilot vehicle are determined for example in accordance with the route information, speed, reference points for a recommended route, position and orientation of the vehicle or the camera that records the vehicle environment.

Method and device for displaying navigational information for a vehicle

A method and device is for displaying driving instructions. The aim is to achieve a better consistency between the image recorded of the surrounding terrain by the vehicle camera and presented in the driver's field of vision, and the keyed-in calculated driving instruction. For this purpose, the inclination of the vehicle about its longitudinal axis and lateral axis relative to the road surface as well as the incline of the road or the three-dimensionality of the terrain are taken into consideration when a keyed-in driving instruction from the angle of view of the driver is produced.
