CARRIER-ASSISTED TRACKING

A method includes one or more processors of a payload releasably coupled to a carrier detecting a deviation of a target from an expected target position within an image captured by an image sensor of the payload, and generating one or more control signals for the carrier based at least in part on the detected deviation of the target. The one or more control signals cause the carrier to change a pose of the payload so as to reduce the detected deviation in a subsequent image captured by the image sensor.
