Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided for collecting positional information for and controlling a movable object. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a method for collecting positional information for a movable object includes: receiving data from a first sensing system coupled to the movable object; receiving data from a second sensing system coupled to the movable object; determining a weight value for the data from the second sensing system based on a strength of the signal received by the sensor of the second sensing system; and calculating the positional information of the movable object based on (i) the data from the first sensing system and (ii) data from the second system factoring in the weight value.
