Flight mode
Depending on the GPS availability and flight conditions, the aircraft can automatically switch between the three flight modes.
Attitude mode
When the aircraft is in an environment without a GNSS signal or a poor signal, the flight control system only maintains the stable attitude of the UAV, and the aircraft may drift due to the lack of accurate positioning.
Intelligent flight function
Intelligent tracking
Intelligent tracking uses deep learning algorithms to detect six types of objects in real time: pedestrians, cyclists, cars, trucks, boats, and animals. A real-time tracking algorithm is used to automatically track the selected objects while avoiding obstacles in flight. This feature tracks objects in three modes.
- Point to the flight
Pointing to the flight allows the user to set the direction of the vehicle by touching a point on the screen. - gesture recognition
The main camera uses deep learning algorithms to recognize and respond to three gesture commands: straighten your arms up to set yourself as a target, raise your arms flat to take a photo, and raise one arm to start or stop recording. - Precise landing
Precision landing uses the binocular vision system below the aircraft to record information at its takeoff position. During the process of return flight and landing, the visual algorithm is used to calculate the position error of the aircraft and its takeoff point in real time, so as to control the precise landing of the aircraft at the takeoff position. - Safe landing
The safe landing function uses the lower visual system of the vehicle to create a depth map. The flatness and angle of the depth map are then calculated to detect whether the surface is sufficiently flat to ensure a safe landing.
