Collision avoidance system, depth imaging system, vehicle, map generator and methods thereof

Abstract:

According to various aspects, a collision avoidance method may include: receiving depth information of one or more depth imaging sensors of an unmanned aerial vehicle; determining from the depth information a first obstacle located within a first distance range and movement information associated with the first obstacle; determining from the depth information a second obstacle located within a second distance range and movement information associated with the second obstacle, the second distance range is distinct from the first distance range, determining a virtual force vector based on the determined movement information, and controlling flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the virtual force vector to avoid a collision of the unmanned aerial vehicle with the first obstacle and the second obstacle.
