Claim 0:
1. An aerial vehicle, comprising:
a body:
a first ranging device disposed on the body and configured to detect a first distance between the first ranging device and a surface of a reflector;
a second ranging device disposed on the body and configured to detect a second distance between the second ranging device and the surface of the reflector; and
a controller configured to obtain an included angle between a direction of the body and the reflector according to the first distance and the second distance;
wherein the reflector is a physical reflector;
wherein the first ranging device has a first signal emission surface, and the second ranging device has a second signal emission surface: a first angle is formed between a first normal direction of the first signal emission surface and a second normal direction of the second signal emission surface, and a second angle is formed between the first normal direction of the first signal emission surface and the direction: the controller is further configured to:
obtain the included angle between the direction and the reflector according to the first distance, the second distance, the first angle and the second angle, wherein the second distance, the direction of the body and the surface of the reflector form a triangle.
