Abstract

The present invention is to provide a wireless aircraft and a method for outputting location information to reduce a cost, simplify the process, and output the necessary information. The wireless aircraft 10 flying in the air takes an live image, detects the location information on which the wireless aircraft is located, stores a specific image of an extracted object, compares the taken live image with the specific image to recognize an object to be extracted from the live image, and outputs the detected location information when the object is recognized.

Claims

1. A wireless aircraft flying in the air, comprising:

a camera unit that takes a live image;

a location information detecting unit that detects the location information on which the wireless aircraft is located;

a specific image storage unit that stores a specific image of an extracted object;

an object recognition unit that compares the live image taken by the camera unit with the specific image to recognize an object to be extracted from the live image; and

a location information output unit that outputs the location information detected by the location information detecting unit when the object is recognized.

2. The wireless aircraft according to claim 1, further comprising a device activating unit that activates a predetermined device according to the type of the specific image when the wireless aircraft moves to the position in which the location information was output.

3. A method for outputting the location information performed by the wireless aircraft flying in the air comprising the steps of:

taking a live image;

detecting the location information on which the wireless aircraft is located;

storing a specific image of an extracted object;

comparing the live image taken by the camera unit with the specific image to recognize an object to be extracted from the live image; and

outputting the detected location information when the object is recognized.
