Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling a movable platform, the method comprising:
receiving a set of 3D information associated with a virtual reality environment;
receiving a plurality of virtual locations in the virtual reality environment;
for each one of the plurality of virtual locations, receiving a corresponding action item associated with image capturing of an image component included in the movable platform, wherein the action item at the each one of the plurality of virtual locations includes aiming an image component of a movable platform toward a target object;
generating a 3D path in the virtual reality environment at least based on the plurality of virtual locations;
generating a set of virtual reality images that each virtually represents an image captured at the each one of the virtual locations along the 3D path in the virtual reality environment based on the set of 3D information, the plurality of virtual locations, and the plurality of action items;
visually presenting the set of images to an operator;
generating a control signal to control the moveable platform to move along the 3D path in a real-world environment corresponding to the virtual reality environment;
obtaining real-world images captured by aiming the image component included in the movable platform toward the target object at each one of physical locations corresponding to the each one of the virtual locations during moving along the 3D path in a real-world environment corresponding to the virtual reality environment;
comparing the set of virtual reality images with the real-world images to identify a discrepancy between the set of virtual reality images and the real-world images; and
adjusting the movable platform and/or the image component so as to minimize the discrepancy between the set of virtual reality images and the real-world images.
