As shown in fig. 1, in actual work, forestry survey staff perform flight control on the unmanned aerial vehicle through a handset in a wider area and ensure that the flight height of the unmanned aerial vehicle exceeds the top end of the highest tree in a working area by more than ten meters; the unmanned aerial vehicle posture is adjusted by shooting pictures through an infrared camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured to be positioned right above a worker; after the infrared camera locks the target, the unmanned aerial vehicle can carry out self-adaptive flight control according to the tracking of the infrared camera on the target and can pass through the communication unitSending GNSS positioning information (x, y, z) to the handset in real time, and subtracting a distance value h between the handset and the unmanned aerial vehicle from high-level position information after the handset receives the positioning information0The accurate positioning coordinate (x, y, z-h) of the mobile phone is obtained0) Displaying and storing the positioning information through the handset; when the infrared camera can not capture the target, an alarm is sent to the handheld machine, and the staff adjusts the posture of the unmanned aerial vehicle through the handheld machine to capture the target again. Because unmanned aerial vehicle flying height has avoided the influence of forestry environment to GNSS positioning accuracy on the forestry region, therefore unmanned aerial vehicle sends the precision of the locating information of handing machine to be far higher than the positioning accuracy of staff in the forest zone.
Example two
Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of a method of accurate positioning for use in forestry surveying work according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
step 101: and acquiring the coordinates of the work starting point.
Forestry survey staff places unmanned aerial vehicle in the subaerial in relative spacious area at work starting point, acquires positional information through GNSS positioning unit, records current elevation information, proofreads and matches with the altitude that digital barometer on the unmanned aerial vehicle surveyed.
Step 102: and adjusting the attitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle by using the hand-held machine so that the unmanned aerial vehicle is in a proper working attitude.
Forestry survey staff flies unmanned aerial vehicle in spacious area before beginning work, and the altitude requirement exceeds this forestry regional trees maximum value more than ten meters, carries out altitude correction through the locating information of flight position and the position elevation information difference before the flight.
Forestry survey staff passes through handheld quick-witted manual control unmanned aerial vehicle, when guaranteeing the flight height requirement, hovers unmanned aerial vehicle directly over the staff, adjusts through the picture that the infrared camera that handheld quick-witted screen received returned for the staff is located the positive center of infrared camera visual field picture.
Step 103: and judging whether the infrared camera can correctly capture the staff.
Because the difference between the body temperature characteristics of the workers and the surrounding working environment is large, the infrared camera can easily identify the workers. When the worker is present within the infrared camera view field, the infrared camera can capture the target (worker) smoothly, as shown in fig. 6 a; when the worker is not within the field of view of the infrared camera, the infrared camera will not capture the target successfully, as shown in fig. 6 b.
Step 103 is a judging step, and when the infrared camera can capture the target person, the next operation is performed; if the infrared camera can not capture the target, the unmanned aerial vehicle sends an alarm signal to the hand-held machine, the step 102 is returned, and the staff manually adjusts the posture of the unmanned aerial vehicle through the hand-held machine to capture the target again.
Step 104: and when the acquisition is successful, carrying out self-adaptive tracking on the movement of the target according to the acquisition information of the infrared camera.
When the forestry survey staff moves, the position deviates from the central point of the infrared camera, and the infrared camera calculates the distance and the direction rough difference between the capture target point and the central point, as shown in fig. 6 c. The infrared camera transmits rough difference information captured by a camera shooting picture to the unmanned aerial vehicle processing unit, and the unmanned aerial vehicle processing unit performs closed-loop control on the flying motor of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the difference information to complete the flight control operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and ensures that a worker is always located at the central point of the vision field range of the infrared camera, namely under the unmanned aerial vehicle.
In the aspect of unmanned aerial vehicle flying height, the height difference of forestry survey staff's current position relative to the work initial point is obtained according to the change of atmospheric pressure through the digital barometer in the handheld machine, gives unmanned aerial vehicle processing unit with height difference information transmission. After receiving the altitude difference information that handheld machine sent, unmanned aerial vehicle processing unit in time adjusts flying motor according to the information of altitude difference and carries out closed-loop control for unmanned aerial vehicle's the relative altitude with forestry survey staff keeps unanimous. Realize unmanned aerial vehicle closely following forestry survey personnel flight of self-adaptation when guaranteeing apart from height.
Step 105: the unmanned aerial vehicle sends the position information received by the GNSS positioning module in real time to the handheld machine of the staff through the unmanned aerial vehicle communication module.
Step 106: and (4) resolving real-time coordinates of the handset.
Because of the unmanned aerial vehicle flight position is located directly over the staff, say that the plane coordinate of unmanned aerial vehicle and handheld machine is the same, the difference of elevation coordinate is distance between the two. Therefore, after the hand-held set receives the position information obtained by the unmanned aerial vehicle, the height difference between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the hand-held set is subtracted, and the obtained coordinates are the accurate coordinates of the hand-held set at the current moment.
Step 107: and displaying the position coordinates in real time.
The handset updates and displays the calculated real-time coordinate information in real time by combining with the map information through a display screen of the handset; in addition, the real-time position is stored by the handset, and a working track route of forestry surveyors can be generated by traversing the position coordinates of each moment after surveying work is finished.
The above description is only for the specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
EXAMPLE III
In the step of tracking the target (staff) by the infrared camera, the target tracking is realized by combining the Camshift (continuous Adaptive Mean-Shift) and the Kalman filtering algorithm. The Camshift algorithm is to calculate the center of gravity of a pixel by utilizing a color histogram according to a previous frame of a target motion state or an initialized search box combining the position and the size of a target, to coincide the center of the search box with the center of gravity of the pixel, and to calculate the distance between the center of gravity of the pixel and the center of the search box, wherein the distance is smaller than a set threshold value and the target tracking is successful. The Camshift algorithm has the advantage of adaptively adjusting the size of the search box window according to target changes.
The Camshift algorithm process is as follows: when an infrared camera captures a target (a worker), separating target information from an original background picture shot by the camera, setting the size of a search frame window according to a pixel area, calculating the gravity center of a target pixel in the search window, adjusting the search window to enable the center point of the search window to be overlapped with the gravity center of the target pixel, and adjusting the size of the search window after the tracking is successful.
When the position of the target person changes, the distance between the target person and the camera changes, so that the pixel information in an imaging picture must change, the Camshift algorithm can use the center point of gravity of the target pixel as a target point, timely adjust the position of the search window to enable the center point of the search window to be superposed with the target pixel, centralize the convergence area, and adjust the size of the search window, thereby achieving the effect of self-adaptive tracking.
Due to the lack of prediction information of a motion model in the Camshift algorithm, a target loss phenomenon can occur when a target person is shielded, a Kalman filtering algorithm is introduced for the problem, and motion prediction and target feature update information of the target person are increased.
Kalman filtering can be divided into two processes of prediction and updating, the prediction process adopts observation information and prior estimation to obtain corrected posterior estimation, and the posterior estimation is also the prior estimation of the next moment; the updating part is used for carrying out weighted fusion on the measurement information and the prediction information at the previous moment. The state equation of Kalman filtering is:
Xk=FXk-1+BUk+Wk
wherein, XkAnd Xk-1Is the state vector of target t time and t-1 time, F is the transfer matrix, B is the input matrix, UkAs an external control vector, WkIs white gaussian noise with a mean value of zero.
The Kalman filtering observation equation is:
Zk=HkXk+Vk
wherein Z iskIs the observation vector at time k, HkFor the observation matrix, VkTo observe the noise.
Initializing a Kalman filter according to a target detection result, tracking a target by a Camshift algorithm, predicting the current time by adopting the state of the Kalman filter at the previous time when the position deviation of the moment before and after the target is large, taking the predicted value as the state value of the current time of the target, and updating the Kalman filter according to the result. The continuity and the accuracy of the infrared camera tracking can be effectively improved by adopting the Camshift (continuous Adaptive Mean-Shift) and the Kalman filtering algorithm to track and design the target.
Example four
Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a target adaptive parallel tracking control according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The invention adopts a target self-adaptive parallel tracking control strategy to realize accurate tracking control of the target motion trail. The adaptive parallel tracking control needs to acquire global position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle and global position information and global speed information of the tracked target, as shown in fig. 4.
The global position estimation of the target is to predict the next moment (t) of the target by combining a target state equation established in the process of tracking the target by an infrared camera on the basis of the position information of the target at the current moment (t)k-1) Global position information of the target. The global position estimation of the target is also the expected tracking position of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the difference value between the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment (t) and the expected tracking position is used as the input value of a global position PID controller; and calculating the global speed estimation of the unmanned aerial vehicle tracking target according to the position difference value and the sampling period, wherein the speed estimation is used as the expected global speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle and is input into a controller to form a closed-loop feedback control system.
In order to ensure that a worker (a target) is always captured by an infrared camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a yaw angle PID controller is added into an adaptive parallel tracking control system according to the motion state of the target so as to prevent the target from departing from the visual field range of the infrared camera as shown in FIG. 6b, the difference between the speed and the attitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the actual state and the expected speed and the attitude is calculated according to the deviation between the position of a center point of gravity of a target pixel captured by the infrared camera and the position of the center point of a visual field picture of the infrared camera as shown in FIG. 6c and is used as an input value of the yaw angle PID controller, then the output value of the yaw angle PID controller is combined with global position speed estimation information to be used as input information of a flight controller, a control instruction is sent to an execution mechanism, and finally the control information is converted into voltage values to be applied to four execution, the tracking target is always positioned at the central point of the vision field picture of the infrared camera, namely the unmanned aerial vehicle always flies right above the working personnel.
The above description is only for the specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
