Abstract

A method for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: identifying a target object in a photographed image to track the target object; determining, based on a location of the target object in the photographed image, a location of the UAV, and an altitude of a gimbal of the UAV, a location of the target object to continuously record the location of the target object; and in response to a disappearance of the target object in the photographed image, controlling, according to the recorded location of the target object prior to the disappearance of the target object, the altitude of the gimbal such that a photographing device carried by the UAV through the gimbal continues to photograph in a direction from the photographing device to the location of target object.
