Aiming at problems of complicated operation and high professional in UAV remote control

a Kinectbased somatosensory control method is proposed and verified. The node data of the operator’s body postures are collected by Kinect sensor; body postures are designed and recognized

then are converted into control commands for UAV. The commands are sent to UAV platform by wireless data transmission module for remote control.Experimental result shows that the identification algorithm can recognize body posture accurately and control the UAV in real-time

and somatosensory control mode is intuitive

simple and effective.
