Abstract
A computer-implemented method for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes identifying a set of target markers based on a plurality of images captured by an imaging device carried by the UAV. The set of target markers includes at least two or more types of target markers that are in close proximity to be detected within a same field of view of the imaging device. The method further includes determining a spatial relationship between the UAV and the set of target markers based at least in part on the plurality of images, and controlling the UAV to approach the set of target markers based at least in part on the spatial relationship while controlling the imaging device to track the set of target markers such that the set of target markers remains within the same field of view of the imaging device.
