Abstract

Methods and apparatus for drone collision avoidance. Processing circuitry of a drone extracts information from an encoded image captured by a detection device with a field view overlapping the encoded image. Based on the extracted information a determination is made whether a collision will occur on the flight trajectory of the drone with an external source. The flight trajectory of the drone is then altered to avoid a collision.
