Systems and methods for landing a drone on a moving base
First Claim
1. A drone, comprising:
- a depth sensor configured to provide information for determining a distance between the drone and a moving base; and
a processor configured to control a computer vision tracking algorithm by increasing tracking when the distance is within a distance threshold and to control drone movement based on the computer vision tracking algorithm.

Abstract
A drone is described. The drone includes a depth sensor configured to provide information for determining a distance between the drone and a moving base. The drone also includes a processor configured to control a computer vision tracking algorithm based on the distance, and to control drone movement based on the computer vision tracking algorithm. A vehicle is also described. The vehicle includes a depth sensor configured to provide information for determining a distance between a drone and the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a processor configured to control a computer vision tracking algorithm based on the distance and to send information for controlling drone movement based on the computer vision tracking algorithm.
