Abstract
A control device operates a drone with an onboard camera. The control device obtains a current performance metric to be computed for an activity performed by an individual, determines, based on a positioning rule associated with the current performance metric, a selected relative position, SRP, between the individual and the onboard camera, identifies a reference plane of the individual, operates the drone to move the onboard camera from an initial relative position to attain the SRP in relation to the reference plane; operates the onboard camera, when in the SRP, to capture image(s) of the individual, and provides the image(s) for computation of the current performance metric for the activity performed by the individual. The SRP may be defined, by the positioning rule, to ensure that the orientation of the individual in the image(s) is relevant or optimal for the current performance metric.
