Method and apparatus for recovering and flying unmanned aerial vehicle in hand-held manner

A method and apparatus for recovering and flying an unmanned aerial vehicle in a hand-held manner. The method comprises: detecting in real time a state parameter of an unmanned aerial vehicle (S101); judging whether the unmanned aerial vehicle is flown or recovered in a hand-held manner through the state parameter (S102); if it is judged that the unmanned aerial vehicle is flown in the hand-held manner, controlling rotation of a rotor to begin takeoff (S103); and if it is judged that the unmanned aerial vehicle is recovered in the hand-held manner, controlling the rotor to stop rotation (S104). When an unmanned aerial vehicle is recovered in a hand-held manner, the unmanned aerial vehicle will be subjected to a resistance from hands, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle is subjected to a resistance from hands during a flying process, an obvious change will occur to a state parameter within a short time. When the unmanned aerial vehicle is flown in the hand-held manner from stop, the unmanned aerial vehicle is lifted up, and the state parameter also changes during the process. Therefore, whether an unmanned aerial vehicle is flown in a hand-held manner can be judged through a change in the state parameter. This method omits an operation of a user on a remote control device for flying and recovering an unmanned aerial vehicle. For a user, the technique for operating a remote control is omitted. For the unmanned aerial vehicle, there is more freedom because it is not controlled by other devices.
