    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include, receiving an image from an image sensor; storing a sequence of images captured after the image in a buffer; determining an orientation error between the orientation of the image sensor and an orientation setpoint during capture of the image; determining a rotation corresponding to the orientation error based on orientation estimates from the sequence of orientation estimates corresponding to the sequence of images; and invoking an electronic image stabilization module to correct the image to obtain a stabilized image, in which the electronic image stabilization module corrects the image for the rotation corresponding to the orientation error.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle. Boundaries of a user-defined space may be obtained. The boundaries of the user-defined space may be fixed with respect to some reference frame. A user-defined operation associated with the user-selected space may be obtained. Position of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be tracked during an unmanned aerial flight. Responsive to the unmanned aerial vehicle entering the user-defined space, the unmanned aerial vehicle may be automatically controlled to perform the user-defined operation.

    Abstract: Stabilizing an image capture device includes stabilizing the image capture device as the image capture device captures images; responsive to detecting an exceptional activity, stopping the stabilizing of the image capture device; and after the exceptional activity is completed, stabilizing the image capture device again. An image stabilization device for stabilizing an imaging device includes a processor that is configured to set at least one of a pitch angle or a roll angle of the image stabilization device to respective constant values and allow a yaw angle of the image stabilization device to vary; while the yaw angle is less than a threshold angle, maintain the yaw angle at a constant relative to a reference platform; when the yaw angle reaches the threshold angle, stop keeping the yaw angle relative to a reference platform constant; and set the yaw angle to follow a direction of motion of the reference platform.

    Abstract: Controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle may include obtaining a first image from a fixed orientation image capture device of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtaining a second image from an adjustable orientation image capture device of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtaining feature correlation data based on the first image and the second image, obtaining relative image capture device orientation calibration data based on the feature correlation data, the relative image capture device orientation calibration data indicating an orientation of the adjustable orientation image capture device relative to the fixed orientation image capture device, obtaining relative object orientation data based on the relative image capture device orientation calibration data, the relative object orientation data representing a three-dimensional orientation of an external object relative to the adjustable orientation image capture device, and controlling a trajectory of the unmanned aerial vehicle in response to the relative object orientation data.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for stabilizing an imaging device with an image stabilization device. The image stabilization device includes sensors, one or more arms, one or more motors, and a control unit. The sensors provide sensor data including orientation data, angular velocity data, and acceleration data. Each of the motors is associated with a respective arm. The control unit is configured to set a setpoint of the imaging device to a default setpoint, receive sensor data from the sensors, determine whether a flip condition exists, in response to determining that the flip condition exists, fix the setpoint of the imaging device, and in response to determining that the flip condition does not exists, maintain the default setpoint of the imaging device by moving at least one of respective arms with one of the respective motors.
