An unmanned aerial vehicle including an image sensor and one or more processors. The image sensor is carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle and is configured to generate output signals conveying visual information. The one or more processors include a distance component and a flight control component. The distance component configured to determine a distance between an object of interest and the unmanned aerial vehicle. The flight control component is configured to adjust a flight path of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the distance between the object of interest and the unmanned aerial vehicle. The one or more processors are configured to: receive the visual information including the object of interest; and control the image sensor with a sensor control subsystem to adjust one or more parameters of the image sensor and to detect the object of interest.

Systems and methods for adjusting flight control of an unmanned aerial vehicle

The present teachings provide a system including image sensors, remote controllers, and one or more physical processors. The image sensors are configured to generate output signals conveying visual information regarding the one or more images of one or more individuals. The remote controllers are configured to be worn by individuals, and the remote controllers are in communication with the image sensors to provide location information to the image sensors regarding a location of the individuals wearing the remote controllers. The one or more physical processors are configured by computer-readable instructions to recognize the remote controllers worn by the individuals. The one or more physical processors are configured to track the individuals based on the location of the remote controllers. The one or more physical processors are configured to control the image sensors to capture images of the individuals based upon the location of the remote controllers.

Systems and methods for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle

A system including an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes image sensors and one or more physical computer processors. The image sensors are configured to capture images and/or video segments. The one or more physical computer processors create a user ID and/or other identifying information for a user and/or a consumer when a user and/or consumer registers with an authentication component. The processors associate the user ID and/or the other identifying information with one or more client computing platforms. The processors store the user ID and/or the other identifying information associated with the user and/or the consumer on the authentication component. The processors associate the user and/or the consumer with one or more accounts. The processors authenticate the user and/or the consumer with the authentication component so that the user and/or the consumer is permitted to access a repository of the images and/or the video segments.

Systems and methods for determining preferences for flight control settings of an unmanned aerial vehicle

This disclosure relates to providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on opposing fields of view with overlap. The UAV may include a housing, a motor, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first optical element having a first field of view greater than 180 degrees, a second optical element having a second field of view greater than 180 degrees, and one or more processors. The first optical element and the second optical element may be carried by the housing such that a centerline of the second field of view is substantially opposite from a centerline of the first field of view, and a peripheral portion of the first field of view and a peripheral portion of the second field of view overlap. Flight control for the UAV may be provided based on parallax disparity of an object within the overlapping fields of view.

Systems and methods for providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on opposing fields of view with overlap

Systems and methods for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle are disclosed. The system comprises an image sensor configured to generate output signals conveying visual information, the visual information including one or more images of a user, and one or more physical processors. The one or more physical processors are configured by computer-readable instructions to recognize one or more gestures from the user based on the visual information, interpret the one or more gestures from the user as flight control information, and provide flight control for the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the flight control information.

Consumption information associated with a user consuming video segments may be obtained. The consumption information may define user engagement during a video segment and/or user response to the video segment. Sets of flight control settings associated with capture of the video segments may be obtained. The flight control settings may define aspects of a flight control subsystem for the unmanned aerial vehicle and/or a sensor control subsystem for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The preferences for the flight control settings of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be determined based upon the first set and the second set of flight control settings. Instructions may be transmitted to the unmanned aerial vehicle. The instructions may include the determined preferences for the flight control settings and being configured to cause the unmanned aerial vehicle to adjust the flight control settings to the determined preferences.

Systems and methods for determining preferences for control settings of unmanned aerial vehicles

A first pattern associated with a performer may be recognized based upon visual information. A sensor carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle may be configured to generate output signals conveying the visual information. A first distance may be determined between the first pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. A second pattern associated with a performee may be recognized based upon the visual information. A second distance may be determined between the second pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. Flight control may be adjusted based upon the first distance and the second distance. A flight control subsystem may be configured to provide the flight control for the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Systems and methods for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle recognize and interpret gestures by a user. The gestures are interpreted to adjust the operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a sensor carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle, or both.
