Abstract

See full text

This disclosure relates to providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on tilted optical elements. The UAV may include a housing, a motor, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first optical element having a first field of view, a second optical element having a second field of view, and one or more processors. The first optical element and the second optical element may be carried by the housing such that the vertical fields of view above the midline plane of the housing are greater than the vertical fields of view below the midline plane of the housing when the UAV is tilted during flight, and such that portions of the fields of view overlap. Flight control for the UAV may be provided based on parallax disparity of an object within the overlapping fields of view.
