Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Example one
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a photo control method for an unmanned aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to a situation where the unmanned aerial vehicle is used to complete a mapping task, and the method can be executed by a photo control device of the unmanned aerial vehicle, where the photo control device can be implemented by software and/or hardware, and can be generally integrated in the unmanned aerial vehicle, and specifically includes the following steps:
step 110, acquiring the ground height of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and determining a target photographing distance according to the ground height, a preset standard height and a preset photo overlapping degree;
wherein the drone is an unmanned aircraft that is operated with a radio remote control device and self-contained program control, or is operated autonomously, either completely or intermittently, by an onboard computer. The ground height of the unmanned aerial vehicle is the distance between the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the ground, and in the photographing schematic diagram of the unmanned aerial vehicle for performing flight mapping on the ground environment with fluctuating height as shown in fig. 1, when the ground height of the unmanned aerial vehicle is small, namely, when a mountain or a high-rise building appears in the ground plane, part of the ground area can not be photographed by using the existing photographing distance, or the photographed picture does not meet the requirement of the overlapping degree. Therefore, when the ground height becomes small, the subject photographing interval needs to be adjusted in real time.
The standard height is preset before the unmanned aerial vehicle executes the surveying and mapping task, and the unmanned aerial vehicle flies according to the standard height in the flying process. In the prior art, various mapping parameters of the drone, such as the photographing distance, the GSD, and the like, are calculated assuming that the ground height of the drone is the standard height.
Course overlap refers to the portion of adjacent pictures in the course that have the same area image, usually expressed as a percentage. The aviation direction overlapping degree in the aerial photogrammetry is generally 60% -65%; the maximum of the individual should not be more than 75% and the minimum should not be less than 56%. The interval of shooing is unmanned aerial vehicle front and back two linear distance between the position of shooing, when highly being less than preset standard height to ground, only adjusts the interval of shooing, also promptly, reduces the interval of shooing, just enables the photo of shooing and satisfies the requirement of photo overlap degree.
Step 120, determining the shooting time of the next surveying and mapping photo of the surveying and mapping camera carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the target shooting distance;
wherein, after calculating the target interval of shooing, owing to acquire the height to ground, calculate the target interval of shooing and all need certain time, unmanned aerial vehicle flies at predetermined airspeed always in this time. Therefore, a certain distance exists between the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the position where the surveying and mapping picture is shot last time, and the next shooting time is calculated again according to the difference between the target shooting distance and the distance.
Step 130, finishing the shooting of the next mapping photo according to the shooting time;
wherein, after calculating the shooting time, the surveying camera that unmanned aerial vehicle carried carries on the shooting of surveying photo next time after this shooting time.
Step 140, judging whether the unmanned aerial vehicle finishes surveying and mapping flight, if not, returning to the step 110, and if so, executing the step 150;
and if the airplane is still in the process of mapping and shooting, after the next mapping and shooting is carried out, returning to execute the operation of acquiring the ground height of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and continuously calculating the target shooting distance and shooting time for the next mapping and shooting.
And 150, finishing the surveying and mapping shooting process by the unmanned aerial vehicle.
After the unmanned aerial vehicle takes the mapping photo every time, the operations of obtaining the ground height, calculating the target shooting distance and shooting time are repeatedly executed until the flight process is finished.
According to the embodiment of the invention, by the technical means of acquiring the ground height of the unmanned aerial vehicle in real time after the last shooting is finished to calculate the target shooting interval and calculating the next shooting time according to the target shooting interval, the technical problems that the shooting interval is unchanged and the overlapping degree of the photos is not enough or does not have the overlapping degree easily caused by the fact that the parameters of the flight mapping process of the traditional unmanned aerial vehicle are unchanged, and the ground height during the last shooting is used for adjusting the next shooting time in real time so as to ensure that the requirement of the overlapping degree of the photos can be met in the mapping process of the unmanned aerial vehicle are solved.
Example two
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a photographing control method for an unmanned aerial vehicle in a second embodiment of the present invention, where the second embodiment of the present invention specifies that a photographing target interval is calculated according to a ground altitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and a next photographing time is calculated according to the target photographing interval, and the steps of the second embodiment of the present invention include:
step 210, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly at the standard height;
the standard height is determined through a preset standard ground resolution, and the standard photographing interval is determined through the standard ground resolution and the preset photo overlapping degree.
Wherein the relationship between the height and the ground resolution is: h ═ f GSD)/a. Wherein, H is height, GSD is ground resolution, which is also called spatial resolution, and the ground resolution refers to the ability of displaying the minimum size of the detected ground object on the remote sensing image, and is expressed as the actual ground size corresponding to the pixel. f is the focal length of the lens of the mapping camera, and the focal length of the lens refers to the distance from the optical back principal point of the lens to the focal point. a is the pixel size of the camera image sensor, and the pixel is also called as a pixel or a pixel point, namely an image unit (picture element), which is the minimum unit for forming a digital image and is the minimum unit for scanning and sampling a ground scene by the sensor during remote sensing data acquisition, such as scanning imaging.
The principle of this formula is: because the lens of the mapping camera adopts the principle of pinhole imaging, the proportion of the focal length f of the lens to the ground height H is the same as the proportion of the pixel size a to the ground resolution GSD. When GSD is preset standard ground resolution, and survey and drawing camera and camera lens are in case confirmed, f and a are all definite values, what calculate this moment is standard height Hs, that is, preset unmanned aerial vehicle flying height. Correspondingly, when unmanned aerial vehicle according to this flying height real-time flight in-process, if passed through mountain or higher building wait position, the H value in this formula can correspondingly reduce, and GSD also can correspondingly grow.
Wherein, the relation between the photographing distance and the ground resolution and the overlapping degree of the photos is as follows: s (PixelSize) GSD (1-Overlap/100). When the surveying and mapping camera adopts horizontal shooting, the picture resolution is M x N, wherein M is greater than N, M is the number of pixels corresponding to the long side of the picture, N is the number of pixels corresponding to the wide side of the picture, and the value of PixelSize is N; when the surveying and mapping camera adopts vertical shooting, the resolution of the photo is A × B, wherein A < B, A is the number of pixels corresponding to the wide side of the photo, B is the number of pixels corresponding to the long side of the photo, and the value of PixelSize is B. For example, when taking a horizontal shot, the picture resolution is 4000 × 3000, and the PixelSize value is 3000; when taken upright, the photo resolution is 3000 x 4000, and the PixelSize value is 4000. GSD is the ground resolution, Overlap is the photo Overlap, and the Overlap takes the value in 0-100. The principle of this formula is: GSD is the ground actual size corresponding to a pixel (namely a pixel), the product of GSD and PixelSize is the ground actual size corresponding to the shot picture, and the part of the overlapped part of two adjacent shot pictures except the requirement of the picture overlapping degree is the shooting distance of two adjacent shots. Once the mapping camera, lens and shooting direction are determined, PixelSize is fixed, and Overlap is also preset before the unmanned aerial vehicle performs mapping tasks, so that when GSD is standard ground resolution, the standard shooting distance is calculated.
As described above, when the ground height is reduced, the GSD is also correspondingly increased, and if the previous photographing interval is maintained for photographing, the overlap of the actually photographed photos is reduced from the preset overlap, and data loss occurs. Therefore, the photographing distance satisfying the requirement of the overlapping degree needs to be calculated at any time according to the ground height H.
Step 220, controlling a ground measurement device carried on the unmanned aerial vehicle to transmit a detection signal;
the unmanned aerial vehicle is provided with a ground measuring device, the ground measuring device transmits a detection signal to the ground, and the ground measuring device may be a ground radar detector, a laser distance sensor, or the like.
Step 230, acquiring the ground height of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the received echo signal corresponding to the detection signal;
wherein, return after the probing signal that the geodetic surveying device sent to ground contacted ground, when receiving the echo signal that corresponds with this probing signal, the geodetic surveying device can obtain the height to the earth of unmanned aerial vehicle to the earth's surface to provide this height for unmanned aerial vehicle.
Step 240, judging whether the ground height is greater than or equal to the standard height; if so, go to step 250, otherwise, go to step 260.
When the ground height is larger than or equal to the standard height, mapping operation can be continuously carried out according to a preset standard photographing distance; when the ground height is smaller than the standard height, recalculation of the target photographing distance is required.
Step 250, acquiring a preset standard photographing interval as the target photographing interval;
when the ground height is larger than or equal to the standard height, shooting is carried out according to the preset standard shooting distance, and the requirement of the overlapping degree of the photos can be met. At this time, the target photographing interval does not need to be recalculated, and the standard photographing interval is directly used as the target photographing interval.
Step 260, calculating a target ground resolution matched with the ground height according to the ground height, the image sensor pixel size of the mapping camera and the camera focal length;
wherein, according to the formula: and (H) a/f, and calculating the target ground resolution GSD. H is the height to the ground; a is the pixel size of the image sensor; f is the camera focal length. a. f is constant, so when the height of the ground is known, the target ground resolution matched with the height of the ground can be calculated.
Step 270, calculating the target photographing distance matched with the ground height according to the target ground resolution, the number of pixels of the photograph taken by the mapping camera in a set direction and the photograph overlapping degree, wherein the set direction is associated with the photographing mode of the mapping camera.
Wherein, according to the formula: s (PixelSize GSD) (1-Overlap/100), the target photographing interval S is calculated. Wherein, PixelSize is the number of the pixels; GSD is the target ground resolution; and the Overlap is the overlapping degree of the photos, and belongs to (0, 100). Since PixelSize and Overlap are constant values, the target photographing distance S can be calculated after GSD is calculated in step 260.
Step 280, acquiring a latest shooting position, and calculating a relative distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle to a next shooting position according to the latest shooting position, the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the target shooting distance;
the distance between the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the latest shooting position is subtracted from the target shooting distance, and the distance is the distance between the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the next shooting position.
Step 290, calculating the flight time of the unmanned aerial vehicle reaching the next shooting position according to the relative distance and the flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
after the relative distance between the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the next shooting position is calculated according to step 280, the flight time of the unmanned aerial vehicle reaching the next shooting position can be obtained by dividing the relative distance by the flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which is a preset fixed value before takeoff.
Step 2100, determining a time of taking the next mapping photo according to the time of flight.
After the time of flight when the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches the next shooting position is calculated according to step 290, the current time plus the time of flight is the shooting time of the next surveying and mapping photo.
And step 2110, finishing the shooting of the next mapping photo according to the shooting time.
After the shooting time of the next mapping photo is calculated according to the step 2110, the mapping camera takes one mapping photo after the time is reached. After the shooting is finished, if the unmanned aerial vehicle is still in the mapping flight process, the operation of the step 220 is executed again until the unmanned aerial vehicle finishes the mapping flight process.
Step 2120, judging whether the unmanned aerial vehicle completes surveying and mapping flight, if not, returning to the step 220, and if so, executing the step 2130;
and 2130, finishing a surveying and mapping shooting process by the unmanned aerial vehicle.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the ground height of the unmanned aerial vehicle is acquired in real time after the last shooting is finished, when the ground height is smaller than the standard height, the ground resolution is calculated according to the ground height, the target shooting interval is calculated according to the ground resolution, and the next shooting time is calculated according to the target shooting interval, so that the technical problems that the parameters of the flight mapping process of the traditional unmanned aerial vehicle are unchanged, the shooting interval is unchanged, and the overlapping degree of the photos is not enough or has no overlapping degree when the ground fluctuation is large are solved, and the technical effect that the next shooting time can be adjusted in real time according to the ground height during the last shooting is realized, so that the requirement on the overlapping degree of the photos can be met in the mapping process of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
