Optical Flow System

The optical flow system is composed of optical flow lens modules. It is an image positioning system
that locating the aircraft by optical flow images. It ensures the accurate positioning and safe flight of
the aircraft.

Optical flow lens

Usage requirements of optical flow positioning function

It is suitable for environments where the altitude is below 3 meters, there is no GPS signal or the GPS
signal is weak.

The measurement accuracy of the optical flow system is easily affected by the light intensity
!
and the surface texture of the object. Once the optical flow failure, the optical flow positioning
mode will automatically switch to fixed altitude mode. Please be cautious in as following
situations:
1. When flying fast at low altitude (below 0.5 meters), the optical flow system may not be
able to locate.
2. Monochrome surface (such as pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).
3. Surfaces with strong reflections.
4. Water surface or transparent surface.

5. Surfaces of moving objects (such as, the upside of crowds, the swaying bushes or grasses).
!
6. Scenes with dramatic and rapid light changes.
7. Surface extremely dark (Lux<10) or extremely bright (Lux>10,000).
8. Very sparsely textured surface.
9. Surfaces with highly repeating textures (such as small grid brick in the same color).
10. Surfaces that are tilting over 30 degrees.
11. Flying speed should be controlled not too fast. When the aircraft altitude is 1 meters,
the flying speed should not be over 5m/s; When the aircraft altitude is 2 meters, the
flying speed should not be over 14m/s.

● Please ensure that the optical flow lens is clear.
