METHODS FOR GENERATING A FLIGHT PLAN FOR AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE BASED ON A PREDICTED CAMERA PATH

摘要

Methods are provided for generating a flight plan for an aerial vehicle equipped with a surveillance module by using a control unit having a display device. A method comprises graphically identifying, on a map displayed on the display device, a desired target for the surveillance module. A flight plan generated based on the desired target such that a predicted camera path for the surveillance module overlaps the desired target.
