[ detailed description ] embodiments
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for an aircraft, which may be performed by a flight control device, which may include, but is not limited to, a remote controller, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and the like. The method comprises the following steps:
and step S13, obtaining the placing angle of the flight control equipment.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the flight control device may be configured with at least one of a magnetometer, an inertial measurement unit, an accelerometer, a GPS (Global Positioning System), a barometer, a gyroscope, a laser range finder, and the like. The placement angle of the flight control device may be acquired by at least one of a gyroscope, a magnetometer, and an inertial measurement unit. In practical application, the placing angle of the flight control equipment can be determined by operating the placing posture of the flight control equipment relative to the ground.
And step S15, acquiring the distance between the aircraft and a set virtual coordinate origin, wherein the virtual coordinate origin is a reference datum point when the aircraft flies, and the position of the virtual coordinate origin is fixed.
In the embodiment of the invention, the position of the virtual coordinate origin is fixed, namely the position of the virtual coordinate origin is not changed along with the change of the position of the flight control equipment, and once the position is determined, the coordinate of the virtual coordinate origin is always kept unchanged. The virtual origin of coordinates may be a fixed point on the ground or a point on a fixed reference. Before executing step S15, the flight control device may set a virtual origin of coordinates, wherein the virtual origin of coordinates may be set in a manner including, but not limited to, the following manners:
in the first mode, a user carries the flight control equipment, a touch screen or a key or a rocker of the flight control equipment is triggered for the first time in the process of one flight, the GPS coordinate value of the position where the flight control equipment is located when the flight control equipment is triggered is recorded, and the recorded GPS coordinate value is set as a virtual coordinate origin. Thus, the position of the virtual origin of coordinates is fixed and the user can leave the location with the flight control device.
In the second mode, a user controls a laser range finder on the flight control device to generate a laser beam, the direction pointed by the current laser beam is obtained through calculation of a magnetometer on the flight control device, the distance between the irradiation point of the laser beam and the flight control device is obtained through calculation of the laser range finder, and then the GPS coordinate value of the irradiation point of the laser beam is obtained through calculation according to the GPS coordinate value of the position where the flight control device is located, so that the GPS coordinate value of the irradiation point of the laser beam is set as a virtual coordinate origin. In this way, the position of the virtual origin of coordinates is fixed, and the virtual origin of coordinates will remain unchanged when the flight control apparatus moves.
In the third mode, when a user controls the aircraft to fly by using the flight control equipment, the GPS coordinate value of the position of the aircraft during takeoff is recorded, and the recorded GPS coordinate value is set as the virtual coordinate origin. Once the position of the virtual origin of coordinates is fixed, it will not change with changes in the position of the flight control device, nor with changes in the position of the aircraft.
And step S17, determining the flight position of the aircraft according to the placement angle of the flight control equipment, the virtual coordinate origin and the distance between the aircraft and the virtual coordinate origin.
As shown in fig. 2, the virtual origin of coordinates is used as the origin of coordinates O in the spherical coordinate system, and it is assumed that at a certain moment, the flight position of the aircraft is located at P (r, θ, Φ), and the position of P (r, θ, Φ) is determined by three parameters of r, θ, and Φ. Wherein r is the distance between the point P and the origin of coordinates O, namely the distance between the aircraft and the virtual origin of coordinates; theta is the azimuth angle of point P and phi is the elevation angle of point P. Theta and phi may be determined based on the angle of placement of the flight control device, for example, phi may be calculated from a magnetometer on the flight control device and theta may be calculated from an inertial measurement unit on the flight control device. In the determination manner of r, the distance between the aircraft and the virtual coordinate origin may be determined according to the touch sliding distance on the touch screen of the flight control device, for example, the distance between the aircraft and the virtual coordinate origin is in a relationship of a preset magnification with respect to the touch sliding distance on the touch screen; when the flight control device is provided with the rocker, the distance between the aircraft and the virtual coordinate origin can be determined according to the swing amplitude of the rocker on the flight control device, for example, the rocker can be a solid rocker or a virtual rocker on a touch screen of the flight control device.
In one implementation of controlling the flight speed of the aircraft, the method includes, but is not limited to, one or a combination of the following ways:
in the first mode, the flight speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the touch sliding speed on the touch screen of the flight control device. For example, a mapping relationship between the touch sliding speed and the flying speed is established, so that the faster the touch sliding speed on the touch screen is, the faster the flying speed of the control aircraft is.
In the second mode, the flying speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the touch sliding direction on the touch screen. For example, sliding up on the touch screen controls the aircraft to accelerate, and sliding down on the touch screen controls the aircraft to decelerate.
And in the third mode, the flying speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the touch sliding distance on the touch screen. For example, the touch sliding distance is in a preset proportional relation with respect to the flying speed, and the flying speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the touch sliding distance, and for another example, the larger the touch sliding distance is, the faster the flying speed of the aircraft is.
And in the fourth mode, the flight speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the swing speed of a rocker on the flight control equipment. For example, the slower the rocker is swung, the lower the flight speed, and the faster the rocker is swung, the higher the flight speed.
And in a fifth mode, the flying speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the swinging direction of the rocker. For example, the control rocker swings upwards to control the aircraft to accelerate, and the control rocker swings downwards to control the aircraft to decelerate.
And in a sixth mode, the flying speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the swing amplitude of the rocker. For example, the greater the amplitude of the rocker swing, the greater the flight speed of the aircraft.
And in the seventh mode, the change speed of the placement angle of the flight control equipment is obtained, and the flight speed of the aircraft is controlled according to the change speed of the placement angle of the flight control equipment. For example, the faster the maneuvering flight control device changes from one pose to another pose with respect to the ground, the faster the flight speed of the aircraft.
In the implementation of controlling the orientation of the cradle head on the aircraft, the following methods are included but not limited to:
in the first mode, the orientation of the cradle head on the aircraft is determined according to the touch sliding direction on the touch screen of the flight control device. For example, the touch sliding directions of the upper part, the lower part, the left part and the right part on the touch screen correspond to the control holder in sequence to drive the camera to rotate upwards, downwards, leftwards and rightwards, so that the shooting angle of the camera is adjusted.
In the second mode, the orientation of the cradle head on the aircraft is determined according to the swinging direction of the rocker on the flight control equipment. For example, the control rocker swings up and down, left and right, and the control holder correspondingly drives the camera to rotate up and down, left and right in sequence, so that the shooting angle of the camera is adjusted.
According to the control method of the aircraft provided by the embodiment of the invention, the distance between the aircraft and the set virtual coordinate origin is obtained by obtaining the placement angle of the flight control equipment, and the flight position of the aircraft is determined according to the placement angle of the flight control equipment, the virtual coordinate origin and the distance between the aircraft and the virtual coordinate origin, wherein the virtual coordinate origin is a reference datum point when the aircraft flies, and the position of the virtual coordinate origin is fixed. The method is applied to the flight control equipment, and the flight control equipment is conveniently controlled to flexibly control the aircraft.
