Abstract

A method and device for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle with a gesture are provided. A camera is arranged in the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the method includes: detecting a gesture in an image by using a gesture detection framework; judging whether the gesture is a predetermined gesture for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle; acquiring a motion trajectory of the gesture in a case that it is determined that the gesture is the predetermined gesture for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle; and controlling, based on the motion trajectory of the gesture, the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform a control operation corresponding to the motion trajectory of the gesture, where a correspondence between a motion trajectory of a gesture and a control operation is predetermined.
