SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE FLIGHT RESTRICTION FOR STATIONARY AND MOVING OBJECTS

A method for controlling flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes obtaining information about a location of an object of interest, and calculating, during operation of the UAV, a flight-restricted distance for the UAV to maintain relative to the object of interest. The flight-restricted distance is calculated based on a safety factor and the safety factor is determined based on an object classification. The method further includes controlling flight of the UAV to maintain the flight-restricted distance relative to the object of interest.
