1. A control device, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
control a flight of a flight vehicle device in accordance with flight information including at least flight path information of the flight vehicle device, the flight vehicle device including an imaging device to acquire an image of a target, wherein the flight information is generated based on a flight time of the flight vehicle device;
control the flight vehicle device to maintain the imaging device at a predetermined distance from the target at a plurality of imaging points;
determine whether an attitude of the flight vehicle device is stable based on a movement speed of the flight vehicle device and a movement acceleration of the flight vehicle device;
determine that the attitude of the flight vehicle device is stable when the movement speed of the flight vehicle device is zero and the acceleration of the flight vehicle device is zero;
control the imaging device to acquire the image of the target at the plurality of imaging points while at the predetermined distance from the target and stable;
control the flight vehicle to output the image of the target and the position of the flight vehicle for a remote control device in real-time during flight; and
control the remote control device to display the position of the flight vehicle and the image of the target in real-time during flight.
