In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. This application is capable of implementation in many different ways than those herein set forth and of similar import by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and thus this application is not limited to the specific implementations disclosed below.
The visual navigation is a navigation technology which utilizes a camera to sense environmental information as the basis of airplane flight. With the wide application of unmanned aerial vehicles in the aspects of crop growth data acquisition, pesticide spraying, pest detection and the like, the unmanned aerial vehicle navigation technology based on vision is more and more concerned. Visual navigation based on plant canopy landmarks is one of main navigation modes in agriculture, in the process, vegetation crop rows are approximately regarded as a straight line, however, broken lines of vegetation crop behaviors in real environment are discrete, and in slow-speed high-precision navigation processes such as weeding and fixed-point fertilization, more specific and precise navigation routes are often needed.

The following provides embodiments for detailed description of the above battery charging method, apparatus, electronic device and computer readable storage medium.
An embodiment of the application provides an unmanned aerial vehicle navigation method based on plant canopy landmarks, an application main body of the method can be a computing device application for unmanned aerial vehicle navigation, and the computing device application can run in an unmanned aerial vehicle navigation system and serve as a management module of an unmanned aerial vehicle navigation strategy. Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for navigating an unmanned aerial vehicle based on a plant canopy landmark according to a first embodiment of the present application, and the method for navigating an unmanned aerial vehicle based on a plant canopy landmark according to the present embodiment is described in detail below with reference to fig. 1. The following description refers to embodiments for the purpose of illustrating the principles of the methods, and is not intended to be limiting in actual use.
As shown in fig. 1, the unmanned aerial vehicle navigation method based on plant canopy landmarks provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
s101, acquiring a target image corresponding to a target vegetation area shot by the unmanned aerial vehicle.
This step is used for obtaining the target image that the target vegetation area that unmanned aerial vehicle intaked corresponds, for example, unmanned aerial vehicle need realize the navigation tracking of unmanned aerial vehicle to the target plant in the target vegetation area through visual navigation technique in application processes such as crop growth data acquisition, pesticide spray, plant diseases and insect pests detection, and this process at first need intake the target vegetation area, obtains the target image that the target vegetation area corresponds. For example, in a slow-speed high-precision navigation process of weeding, fixed-point fertilization and the like on corns in a corn field by an unmanned aerial vehicle, an environment image corresponding to the corn field needs to be automatically acquired.
And S102, acquiring plant canopy landmarks corresponding to target plants in the target vegetation area based on the target image.
After the target image corresponding to the target vegetation area shot by the unmanned aerial vehicle is obtained in the above step, the step is used for performing image processing on the shot target image to obtain the plant canopy landmarks corresponding to the target plants in the target vegetation area, and specifically, performing image segmentation on the target image to obtain the plant canopy landmarks corresponding to the target plants. The image segmentation is to divide a target image into a plurality of specific and mutually disjoint regions with unique properties according to characteristics such as gray scale, color, spatial texture, geometric shape and the like, so that the characteristics show consistency or similarity in the same region, which is a key step from image processing to image analysis and is the crucial preprocessing of image recognition and computer vision. The existing image segmentation methods mainly include the following categories: a threshold-based segmentation method, a region-based segmentation method, an edge-based segmentation method, a particular theory-based segmentation method, and the like. The process of image segmentation is also a labeling process, i.e. pixels belonging to the same region are assigned the same number. When the image is divided, the image dividing process is easy to generate dividing errors due to uneven illumination, noise influence, unclear parts, shadows and the like in the image.
In this embodiment, the above-mentioned manner of performing image segmentation on the target image to obtain the plant canopy landmark corresponding to the target plant may specifically be: identifying a plant canopy landmark corresponding to a target plant from a target vegetation area based on canopy gray gradient distribution of the target plant, specifically, classifying objects contained in a target image based on a gray gradient distribution rule corresponding to a canopy of the target plant in a radial direction to obtain a classification result; and in response to the classification result indicating that the object is the target plant, marking the object as a plant canopy landmark corresponding to the target plant. For example, based on a gray gradient distribution rule corresponding to the canopy of the target plant in the radial direction, classifying the object contained in the target image through a pre-trained inclusion-V3 classifier to obtain a classification result output by the inclusion-V3 classifier and used for characterizing whether the classified object is the target plant, and the inclusion-V3 classifier may output a classification score of the object contained in the target image based on the input target image to characterize the intensity of each possible classification (e.g., which plant) of the object contained in the input target image; and if the classification result shows that the classified object contained in the target image is the target plant, marking the object as a plant canopy landmark corresponding to the target plant.
And S103, extracting the target navigation route of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the plant canopy landmarks.
After the target image is subjected to image segmentation in the above steps, and the plant canopy landmarks corresponding to the target plants are obtained, the step is used for extracting the target navigation line of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the plant canopy landmarks, specifically, according to the canopy gray gradient distribution rule of the plant canopy landmarks, the piecewise linearized local navigation line is extracted from the plant canopy landmarks, and the local path tracking of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the target vegetation area is realized.
According to the unmanned aerial vehicle navigation method based on the plant canopy landmarks, after a target image corresponding to a target vegetation area shot by an unmanned aerial vehicle is obtained, plant canopy landmarks corresponding to target plants in the target vegetation area are obtained based on the target image; and then extracting the target navigation route of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the plant canopy landmarks. Because the canopy of different grade type plants has its specific grey scale gradient distribution rule, consequently, can carry out image segmentation based on the grey scale gradient distribution rule that this plant canopy corresponds, discern the plant canopy landmark that target plant corresponds, and extract unmanned aerial vehicle's target navigation circuit based on this plant canopy landmark, because above-mentioned plant canopy landmark can clearly and accurately represent the specific position of every target plant, consequently, the target navigation circuit of unmanned aerial vehicle is extracted based on this plant canopy landmark, can satisfy navigation demand to accurate navigation route among the slow-speed high accuracy navigation processes such as weeding, fixed point fertilization.
