Abstract
A camera drone with a function of providing real-time captured images in a certain angle (e.g., vertical to the horizon) is disclosed. The camera drone includes multiple rotor wings, a support structure, a wireless transmitter, a controller, and a camera device. The camera device includes a processor, a gravity sensor, a gyroscope, and an image module. The image module is configured to capture an original image in a real time manner. The gravity sensor and the gyroscope are used to calculate a current dip angle (i.e., inclination of a geological plane down from the horizon) of the camera drone. The current dip angle is used to calculate an angle of rotation. The camera device then generates an edited image based on the original image and the angle of rotation.
