Abstract

A control apparatus and method for noise cancellation in a physical area. The control apparatus receives a trigger input which includes information about a first physical area and further controls an image capturing device to capture at least one first image of the first physical area based on the received trigger input. The control apparatus further determines a number of occupants of a first set of occupants present in the first physical area and scene information corresponding to the first physical area based on the captured at least one first image. The control apparatus further controls a movement of a first plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a physical three-dimensional (3D) space to create a virtual noise cancellation boundary around the first physical area based on the determined number of occupants of the first set of occupants and the scene information.
