The method comprising the steps of: determining () a reference position () related to a position () for a moving object () which the UAV should follow; calculating () a smoothed position () based on the reference position (), wherein the smoothed position () is calculated so that the smoothed position () moves more smoothly than the reference position (); and steering () the UAV so that UAV follows the smoothed position ().
