Abstract
A method for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a control device receives a first direction of the control device and a control command of the UAV, obtains a second direction of the UAV, and calculates an angle deviation between the first direction and the second direction. The method further adjusts the second direction of the UAV according to the angle deviation, and controls a flight direction of the UAV according to the received control command.
