Abstract
A method for generating a view for an unmanned aerial vehicle is provided. The method includes obtaining an origin and a destination of the unmanned aerial vehicle, determining a group of imaging devices based on a route between the origin and the destination of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and obtaining a view of the unmanned aerial vehicle following the route based on images of the unmanned aerial vehicle captured by the group of imaging devices. The group of imaging devices form one or more collaborative camera sensor networks. The collaborative camera sensor networks identify an unmanned aerial vehicle and create human operator's view of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The route of the unmanned aerial vehicle is determined based on the availability of imaging devices of the camera sensor network. The route of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be changed based on the availability of imaging devices.
