2.1.5 Flight Control System
EVO II Pro V3 aircraft provides stable and convenient flight control through its
built-in intelligent flight control system. The system supports multiple advanced
functions, such as return to home, failsafe, and Starpoint positioning. Each module
is described in the following table.

Intelligent Flight Control System

Module Description

Use a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer to measure

IMU
the acceleration and angular velocity.

Measure the geomagnetic field and provides reference

Compass
information on the aircraft heading.

Receive signals from global navigation satellite systems and

GNSS receiver determines the 3-D position (latitude, longitude, and altitude)
of the aircraft.

Measure the atmospheric pressure and determines the

Barometer
altitude of the aircraft.

Ultrasonic sensor Measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground.

Binocular vision Support omnidirectional binocular vision (front, rear, left,

sensing system right, up, and down).

1. Flight Mode
The aircraft can automatically switch between three flight modes based on the
availability of GPS signals and flight conditions.

Flight Mode

Flight Mode Description

The aircraft will activate the GPS mode once it detects a

sufficient GNSS signal. In GPS mode, with the assistance of the
GPS mode front and rear vision systems, the aircraft can locate and avoid
obstacles. GPS provides stable and smooth flight control and
supports features such as return to home and failsafe.

The aircraft automatically changes to ATTI mode when the

GPS signal is weak, and the vision systems are unavailable due
ATTI mode to the poor light conditions. The obstacle avoidance feature is
disabled, and the aircraft controls the altitude through a
barometer.

21
 In this mode, the aircraft uses vision positioning, which is
highly dependent on the environment and altitude. The
surrounding environment must have sufficient light, and the
Starpoint mode
ground texture must be clear. In addition, the aircraft must fly
at an altitude that can be sensed by the vision systems.
Otherwise, the aircraft enters the ATTI mode.

22
2.1.6 Intelligent Flight Features
1. Auto-return
This feature is enabled only when the GPS signal is good. To manually activate the
auto-return feature, long press the auto-return button ( ) on the remote
controller for 3s. After receiving the command, the aircraft will automatically return
and land at the preset home point.
EVO II Pro V3 aircraft can use its forward vision system to detect and avoid
obstacles along the flight route. When the aircraft is returning to the home point,
the remote controller is not available, and you must press the Pause button ( ) to
activate the front vision system.

Warning
 If the forward vision system is not enabled when the aircraft is returning to the
home point, the aircraft cannot automatically avoid obstacles. Press the Pause
button on the remote controller ( ) to exit the auto-return mode and regain
control over the aircraft.

Important
 The default altitude for returning to the home point is 30 meters. If the
auto-return feature is activated when you fly your aircraft at a lower altitude,
the aircraft will ascend to the default altitude of 30 meters and then return to
the home point.
 If you activate the auto-return feature when the aircraft is within a 10 meters
radius of the home point, the aircraft will automatically land at the current
place.

2. Failsafe
Failsafe is to help the aircraft return to the home point automatically or land at the
current place when necessary. Failsafe is activated in the following two scenarios:

 Communication interrupted
If the communication between the aircraft and the remote controller is interrupted
for 3s, failsafe will be activated.
If a GPS signal is available when the failsafe is activated, the aircraft will
automatically return to the home point. Otherwise, the aircraft will land in the
current place. After the communication is restored, you can press the Pause button
( ) to regain control over the aircraft.

23
 Low aircraft battery
The failsafe is triggered whenever one of the following errors occurs:
1) The aircraft continuously calculates the battery power required for returning to
the home point. If the battery power is sufficient for the aircraft to return to the
home point, the App will show a notification. The failsafe will be activated and
the aircraft will start the auto-return process. In the meantime, you can press
the Pause button ( ) to regain control over the aircraft.
2) When the battery level of the aircraft reaches the set threshold (25% by default),
you will receive a low battery warning, the failsafe is activated, and the aircraft
will automatically return to the home point. If you regain control over your
aircraft, when the battery level reaches 15%, you will receive a critically low
battery warning, and the aircraft will automatically land in the current place. For
any emergency, press the Pause button ( ) to stop landing and manually fly
the aircraft to the nearest safe landing point.

Note
 When the battery level of the aircraft reaches 25% (low battery warning),
if the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the home point is less than
50 meters (150 ft), the aircraft will not execute the auto-return procedure.
 If no GPS signal is available when a low battery warning is displayed, the
aircraft will not execute the auto-return process. The aircraft will enter the ATTI
mode and continue to be controlled by you. When the battery level reaches
15% (critically low battery warning), the aircraft will land automatically.

3. Feature

 Landing Protection
When the aircraft arrives above the home point, this feature will detect the ground
environment below. If the ground is flat, the aircraft will land automatically.
Otherwise, it will hover and wait for the next instruction.

 Accurate Landing
When this feature is activated, the aircraft will land as close to the takeoff point.

Important
 The aircraft will record the takeoff point as the default home point. The
accurate landing only takes effect when the home point is not updated during
the flight.
 Select an open area with sufficient light as the takeoff point.

24
 To use this feature, make sure that the environment where the aircraft takes off
is not changed.
 Landing protection and accurate landing features can be enabled using the
App.

2.1.7 Omnidirectional Binocular Vision Sensing System

The binocular vision sensing systems on the front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom
of the EVO II Pro V3 aircraft use image data to calculate the distance between the
aircraft and potential obstacles. Once an obstacle is detected, the system will stop
the aircraft from flying forwards. The binocular vision systems on the front, rear,
and bottom are also equipped with a Starpoint positioning system. This system
uses the ultrasonic sensor to calculate the aircraft’s altitude and is combined with
the binocular vision camera to obtain the location information through image
analysis.

 Note
 The omnidirectional vision sensing system can sense obstacles in directions
such as front, rear, top, bottom, left, and right. However, blind areas exist in four
diagonal directions. When you fly the aircraft manually, pay attention to the
surrounding environment and prompt messages of the App to ensure safety.
 Do not operate the aircraft in a complex environment with insufficient light, or
an area with small objects (such as twigs, lines, and nets), moving objects, or
objects having transparent surfaces (such as windows) or reflected surfaces
(such as mirrors).
 When flying along with a vehicle, select an outside field or a closed road for
driving. Never use the aircraft on the highway.

1. Prerequisites
 Ensure that the aircraft is in GPS or vision positioning mode.
 The aircraft should take off when the flight LED indicator flashes green slowly
or red twice.
 When the GPS signal is weak or the vision positioning is not available (for
example, small visible texture on the object’s surface or the aircraft is flying at
an altitude above 12 meters), you should be extremely careful.
 The binocular vision sensing systems and Starpoint locating systems are
affected by the brightness and texture of the objects below the aircraft. Avoid
flying the aircraft above the following surfaces:

26
 ˗ A surface of a pure color
˗ A highly reflective surface such as a water surface
˗ A very bright or dark object surface
˗ A surface with frequently changing light
˗ Surfaces composed of highly repetitive patterns such as tile
˗ Sound absorbing surfaces such as thick carpet
˗ Moving surfaces such as road surface with heavy traffic
 Ensure that the binocular camera lens and sensor are kept clean.
 To avoid interference with Starpoint locating systems, do not use a 40 kHz
ultrasonic device, such as an ultrasonic range finder, fault detector, cleaner, or
welding machine.

2. Functionality

 Dynamic Tracking
Using deep learning algorithms, dynamic tracking can detect six objects in real time:
walking persons, persons who ride bicycles, moving cars, trucks, ships, and animals.
Real-time tracking algorithms can automatically track selected objects and let the
aircraft avoid obstacles in its flight path. This feature uses three modes to track
objects.

 Viewpoint
With the Viewpoint feature, you can tap on the mobile device screen to let the
aircraft fly in the designated direction.

 Gesture Commands
Using deep learning algorithms, the primary camera identifies and responds to
three gesture commands: straighten your arms upwards to set yourself as the
target, hold your arms flat to take a photo, and raise one arm to start or stop
recording.

 Accurate Landing
The accurate landing feature uses the binocular vision system on the bottom of the
aircraft to record the takeoff location. When the aircraft is returning to the home
point or landing, vision algorithms are used to calculate the distance between the
aircraft and the takeoff point in real time so as to make sure that the aircraft
successfully lands at the takeoff point.

 Safe Landing
The safe landing feature creates a density depth map using the vision system on
the bottom of the aircraft. It calculates the flatness and angle of the depth map to
check whether the surface is flat enough to ensure a safe landing.

27
2.2 Remote Controller
Autel Smart Controller SE is integrated with a 6.4-inch 2340x1080 touch screen to
transmit high-definition images in real time. You can operate and configure the
aircraft and camera if you are 15 kilometers away. The remote controller uses the
Android system and can be connected to the Internet through Wi-Fi. You can
download and install a third-party app. In addition, the remote controller supports

 Front overlap: the amount of overlap from one image to the next along the
flight direction. Side overlap: the amount of overlap between each leg of a
flight. When the aircraft is capturing at a low altitude or in regions with even
surfaces (such as water, desert, field, vegetation, etc.), increasing the overlap is
conducive to image stitching and processing in the later stage.
 GSD: It refers to the actual physical size that a pixel represents. The smaller the
value, the more clear the image.

Important
If one of the following errors occurs, the mission automatically ends, and the
aircraft will perform the corresponding operations:
 Low battery: A message is displayed on the app interface, informing you that
the aircraft will automatically return to the home point.
 Critical low battery: The aircraft will end the mission and automatically land in
its current place.
 GPS signal too weak: The aircraft will enter the ATTI mode and switch to
manual control.

3. Mission History
You can name and save a flight mission. Missions are displayed in the order of the
creation time. The most recently saved missions are at the top of the list, while the
ones that were saved earlier ago are at the bottom. In addition, you can search ( )

To pair them again, refer to Section 2.2.2.

46
5.2 Troubleshooting
Question 1: An error is found when the aircraft performs the self-check
(the LED indicator at the tail of the aircraft glows solid red).
 This is a hardware issue. Please contact Autel Robotics' customer support:
www.autelrobotics.cn/page/service

Question 2: If the motor cannot start, check the following:

 Check whether the remote controller is paired with the aircraft.
 Check whether the remote controller is correctly calibrated.
 Check whether the aircraft is fully charged.
 Check whether the compass is correctly calibrated.
 Check whether the GPS is available (when you enable the beginner mode).

Question 3: If the aircraft cannot take off after you start the motor, check the
following:
 Check whether the aircraft is in a No Fly Zone.
 Check whether the aircraft is placed on a flat surface.

Question 4: Why is the flight time shortened?

 The common causes are low temperature and wind speed.

Question 5: There is no response from the remote controller when pairing it

with the aircraft.
 Check whether there is a metal object, mobile device or another remote
controller near.

Question 6: The video link fault occurs or is interrupted often.

 Check whether there is any magnetic or signal interference source near the
aircraft and remote controller.

Question 7: The camera automatically turns off during recording.

 Do not pull out the micro SD card from the camera. Restart the camera and
wait for the video file to be stored as much as possible.

Question 8: The video link is interrupted when the aircraft is not out of your sight.
 Enable auto-return and let the aircraft return to the home point.

Question 9: What precautions should I follow when using the omnidirectional

binocular vision sensing system?
 Ensure that 12 cameras are clean without being blocked before the flight.
"Omnidirectional" means that the system can sense objects in six directions,
including front, rear, left, right, up, and down.
 A blind zone of 30° degrees exists in the four diagonal directions of the aircraft.
Pay attention to the surrounding environment and safety prompt messages of
the app.

47
 Obstacles can be detected by checking the texture of their surfaces. The
detection function cannot work properly for objects with no texture, repeated
texture, or a surface of pure color, moving objects, or tiny objects.

Question 10: The accurate landing cannot work properly.

 This feature can be implemented by the binocular camera on the rear of the
aircraft. The camera detects the ground texture when the aircraft takes off.
 However, if the ground does not have any texture or the camera on the rear of
the aircraft is damaged, this feature cannot work properly.

Question 11: The omnidirectional binocular vision sensing system cannot work
properly.
 Restart the aircraft and check whether the system can work properly this time.

Question 12: The video is tilted during the flight.

 Place the aircraft horizontally and keep it still.
 Use the app to calibrate the gimbal.
 If the problem persists, adjust the gimbal according to the instructions in the
relevant section.

Question 13: The lens of the binocular camera is dirty.

 Use a cleaning cloth to wipe the lens. Use the glasses cleaning cloth in the
packing box.

Question 14: A visual error occurs during the flight.

 Use the calibration tool on your PC to calibrate binocular parameters. You can
download the calibration tool for your PC from the official website.
