1. An obstacle avoidance method for a first movable object, the method comprising:
receiving a first dataset indicating a first surrounding with a first perspective, the first dataset including a first image taken by the first movable object;
receiving, by the first movable object, a second dataset indicating a second surrounding with a second perspective from an external source of the first movable object:
generating a composite dataset from the first and the second datasets;
extracting parameters describing a structure from the composite dataset, the parameters including at least one of a distance of the structure from the first movable object, a location and a size of the structure, and motion of the structure;
determining that the first movable object has potential collision with the structure n a moving path of the first movable object based on the extracted parameters;
identifying the structure as an obstacle; and
causing the first movable object to avoid the obstacle by altering the moving path of the first movable object.
