FLIGHT CONTROL FOR FLIGHT-RESTRICTED REGIONS

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices are provided for providing flight response to flight-restricted regions. The location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be compared with a location of a flight-restricted region. If needed a flight-response measure may be taken by the UAV to prevent the UAV from flying in a no-fly zone. Different flight-response measures may be taken based on the distance between the UAV and the flight-restricted region and the rules of a jurisdiction within which the UAV falls.

主权项

1. A method for determining a flight-restricted region along a boundary, said method comprising:
acquiring data regarding a location of the boundary; selecting, with aid of one or more processors, a plurality of points along the boundary; and generating, with aid of the one or more processors, a plurality of flight restriction zones along the boundary, wherein each flight restriction zone of the plurality of flight restriction zones (1) includes at least one of the plurality of points along the boundary, and (2) overlaps at least one other flight restriction zone of said plurality of flight restriction zones.
