Abstract
A UAV includes an application processing circuit configured to process primary image data obtained by a primary imaging sensor carried by a gimbal; a real-time sensing circuit configured to process, in a real time manner, secondary image data obtained by a secondary imaging sensor not carried by a gimbal; and a flight control circuit. The flight control circuit is configured to communicate, through a first communication channel, with the application processing circuit to receive the processed primary image data and use the processed primary image data to control the UAV to perform a first function; and communicate, through a second communication channel, with the real-time sensing circuit to receive the processed secondary image data and use the processed secondary image data to control the UAV to perform a second function different from the first function. The second communication channel is independent from the first communication channel.
