Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for simultaneously capturing live audio and video feeds and reducing motor/rotor noise associated with the video feed for a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Noise reduction occurs in real time or near real time as one or more frequencies associated with a motor, rotor, or attitude of the UAV are recognized, subtracted and/or dithered from the audio feed, resulting in one or more correction signals. The one or more correction signals may be dynamically summed in order to generate a corrected audio feed for transmission.
