As shown in FIG. 1, for the surrounding route determined by taking pictures of buildings in surrounding flight in the prior art, FIG. 1 shows a tower-shaped building, the radius of the building at height H1 is r1, the radius of the building at height H2 is r2, and the radius of the building at height H3 is r3, wherein the sizes of r1, r2 and r3 are different. If the current round-the-fly solution is used, i.e. the radii of the upper and lower round-the-way paths are identical, assuming R, the aircraft is at a distance a-R1 from the building surface at H1, at a distance b-R2 from the building surface at H2, and at a distance c-R3 from the building surface at H3. Because r1, r2 and r3 are different in size, a, b and c are different in size, namely, the distance from the aircraft to the building surface is different under the height H1, the height H2 and the height H3, the aircraft is very close to the building surface at some heights, and is relatively far away from the building surface at some heights, and the resolution of pictures shot by the aircraft is different under different heights because the shooting distance is a factor for determining the resolution of the pictures.
In order to solve the above problem, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention shows a method for determining a surrounding route, which is applied to a terminal, and the specific flow is as shown in fig. 2:
step S201: acquiring a preset shooting distance and a plurality of different preset shooting heights;
step S202: determining route radiuses of different preset shooting heights according to the preset shooting distance, wherein the distances from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surface of the building are the preset shooting distance when the preset shooting heights are different;
step S203: and generating a surrounding route according to the route radiuses of the preset shooting heights.
Before step S201, a reference line position of the building is obtained, where the reference line position is selected from the building, and may be a central axis position of the building, or another reference position selected by a user, and the reference position is not limited in this application. After the datum position is selected, the horizontal distance from the datum position to the surface of the building represents the building radius of the building, and the building radius is different in different heights for buildings with different upper and lower widths. In step S201, after the preset shooting distance is determined, the route radius at the preset shooting height can be calculated by adding the horizontal distance from the reference line position to the building surface at the preset shooting height to the preset shooting distance.
In step S202, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to a plurality of different preset photographing altitudes set in step S201, and the horizontal distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surface of the building is maintained at a fixed value regardless of the horizontal distance from the position of the reference line to the surface of the building at the different preset photographing altitudes, so that it is ensured that the pictures photographed at each preset photographing altitude have the same resolution.
In step S203, assuming that the horizontal distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the building surface is d and the horizontal distance from the reference line position to the building surface is d1 at the preset shooting altitude, the route radius (i.e., the horizontal distance from the shooting position to the reference line position) at the preset shooting altitude may be calculated as d + d1 according to the two distance parameters. If the horizontal distance from the reference line position to the building surface at another preset shooting height is d2, the course radius at this preset shooting height can be calculated as d + d2 according to the above calculation method. When the values of d1 and d2 are different, the flight path radii at the two preset shooting heights are different, but the horizontal distances from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surface of the building at the two preset shooting heights are the same, so that the distances from the positions where the photos are shot to the surface of the building at the different preset shooting heights are also the same.
By the above-mentioned method for determining the circular route, when the upper and lower widths of the building are not consistent or the building radiuses at different heights are different, the circular route radiuses of the unmanned aerial vehicles at different heights are different, as shown in fig. 3, but the distances from the unmanned aerial vehicles to the surface of the building at any height and at any shooting position are consistent, so that the resolution of pictures shot at the circular route is consistent.
In one example, the resolution of pictures taken by the unmanned aerial vehicle along the surrounding route is the same at different preset shooting heights. For example, when a building is photographed by the method for determining the surrounding route, the resolution of the photographs taken by the unmanned aerial vehicle is the same because the horizontal distance from each position along the route to the surface of the building is the preset photographing distance when the unmanned aerial vehicle flies along the surrounding route.
In one example, before generating a surrounding route according to the route radii of the plurality of preset shooting heights, the method further comprises the following steps: determining whether a sublayer is inserted between two adjacent preset shooting heights according to the set overlapping rate in the vertical direction; if so, calculating the height of the sub-layer according to the overlapping rate in the vertical direction, inserting the sub-layer with the height being the height of the sub-layer between two adjacent preset shooting heights by using an interpolation method, and calculating the route radius of each sub-layer. For example, in some cases, the surrounding route generated according to the above method may be a relatively rough surrounding route, and the picture taken under the surrounding route may not cover the entire surface of the building, and for this reason, in one example, the rough surrounding route may be further refined, and for example, before the surrounding route is generated by the above method, the step of refining the interpolation sub-layer may be performed, and a vertical overlapping rate is first set, where the vertical overlapping rate is: the ratio of the length of the overlapping part of the adjacent photos along the same route to the side length of the photos can also be understood as the overlapping part between the photos under the same route, and the geometrical schematic diagram of the overlapping part is shown in FIG. 4. In an example, the vertical direction overlapping ratio is 70% to 80%, or the value may be adjusted according to actual needs, assuming that the vertical direction overlapping ratio is set to Pv, then in order to meet the overlapping ratio at this Pv value, the height difference between two adjacent layers of shooting heights should be h, then the number Pix _ Num _ v of vertical direction pixels and the Size Pix _ Size of each pixel are obtained between the heights of two adjacent marked feature points, d is the distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surface of the building, and assuming that the focal length of a camera lens used for shooting a picture on the unmanned aerial vehicle is f, the sub-layer height h at the vertical direction overlapping ratio Pv may be calculated by using formula (1):
h=(1-Pv)*Pix_Size*Pix_Num_v*d/f (1)
as shown in fig. 4, assuming that the calculated height of a sublayer is H under the set vertical direction overlap ratio Pv, first, it is determined whether a sublayer needs to be inserted between two adjacent heights H1 and H2, and if the height difference l between H1 and H2 is greater than H, a sublayer with a height H can be inserted under the height of H1-H; if l-H > H still remains after insertion of a sublayer, then further insertion of a sublayer at a height of H1-2H can be continued until each layer height is not greater than the calculated sublayer height H.
By the method for interpolating the sub-layers, when the user manually marks the feature points at each height in the early stage, the user does not need to mark many feature points, only needs to roughly mark some feature points with the number of layers, and then judges whether the sub-layers need to be interpolated according to the sub-layer heights calculated under the condition of setting the overlapping rate in the vertical direction, so that the number of the layers is further refined.
In an example, the step of acquiring the preset shooting distance may be: the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to a certain preset shooting height, and the distance between the marked feature point and the surface of the building is obtained and used as a preset shooting distance. As an example, the marked feature points may be obtained by: the marked feature point is the location on the user's click on the photo. For example, a user clicks on a display screen of the terminal to select a feature point position, and presses a click key, so that the horizontal distance from the feature point position to the surface of the building is the preset shooting distance. For another example: in this example, the coordinates in the input position data of the building may be input by inputting position data of the building, the position data including coordinates corresponding to points on the building, and the position of the feature point may be selected based on coordinate information in the position data of the building. In another example, the preset photographing distance may be set in other manners, such as: before the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the preset shooting height, a user can set a shooting distance, for example, the shooting distance is set to be 10 meters away from the surface of a building, then after the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the position, with the preset shooting height, of 10 meters away from the surface of the building, the user shoots a picture and sends the shot picture to the user, the user judges whether the set shooting distance is appropriate according to the resolution of the shot picture, if the resolution of the picture is low and the definition of the picture does not meet the ideal requirement, the set shooting distance is over large, the shooting distance is reset, and for example, the shooting distance is updated to be 6 meters. In this way, a suitable recording distance can be found which enables the resolution of the recorded pictures to be satisfactory.
Since the preset shooting distance can be selected by the user, the initially selected shooting distance may not be a proper shooting distance, and if the unmanned aerial vehicle is far from the surface of the building during flight, the shot pictures are not clear enough. In one example, after the obtaining the preset shooting distance and the plurality of different preset shooting heights, the method further includes: and determining whether to reacquire a new shooting distance according to the resolution of the picture shot by the unmanned aerial vehicle at the preset shooting height. In the embodiment, after a user initially sets a shooting distance, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the position first, a picture shot at the position is sent to the user, the user determines whether the set shooting distance is appropriate according to the resolution of the picture at the position, and if the shooting distance is too large, the user can adjust the shooting distance by himself and reset the shooting distance. By using the adjusting mode for multiple times, a user can be ensured to set a proper shooting distance, the finally determined shooting distance is used as a preset shooting distance, and the preset shooting distance cannot be changed in the process of marking the feature points and generating the surrounding route.
In one example, the resolution of the picture is obtained by the shooting distance calculation, and since the lens parameters (e.g., focal length) of the used shooting device are all available, the resolution of the picture taken at the shooting position can be calculated according to the distance from the shooting position to the surface of the building (i.e., the preset shooting distance). In other examples, the photo resolution includes: the resolution of the photographs carried in the photographs sent by the unmanned aerial vehicle. In this example, a photo may be sent to the user after a photo is taken at a certain position by the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the user may directly obtain the resolution of the photo from the received photo because the sent photo contains the information of the resolution of the photo.
In one example, the preset photographing interval is not less than a preset safety distance. When the unmanned aerial vehicle takes an aerial photo of a building and flies, a certain safety distance is required to be kept between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the building, and the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot be too close to the building, so that the safety distance can be considered when the preset shooting distance is determined, the preset shooting distance is not smaller than the safety distance, and if the preset shooting distance is found to be too small and smaller than the safety distance, the shooting distance is reset. For example, when the user initially sets the shooting distance, in order to make the resolution of the shot picture higher, the shooting distance is set too small, resulting in that the unmanned aerial vehicle is too close to the building surface while flying, in which case the safe flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot be ensured, and therefore the shooting distance may be increased, and the preset shooting distance may be increased to a value not less than the safe distance, based on the safe distance at which the unmanned aerial vehicle is flying.
In one example, the safe distance includes: and measuring the obtained safe distance by a distance measuring device or artificially observing the obtained safe distance. For example: the distance measuring device loaded on the unmanned aerial vehicle can measure the safe distance, and after the distance measuring device measures the obtained safe distance, the safe distance is sent to a user, or the user can directly observe whether the distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle to a building is greater than the safe distance or not on a used terminal display screen.
Here, the process of generating the surrounding route may be further described in detail, and since the above method is to perform layering dotting at different preset shooting altitudes and separately calculate a route radius for each layer, the unmanned aerial vehicle first flies to an initial preset altitude, generates a surrounding trajectory at the current altitude after completing marking the feature point and calculating the route radius at the preset altitude, then updates to another preset altitude, and continues to complete steps of marking the feature point and calculating the route radius, and generates an updated surrounding trajectory at the altitude. For example, it is assumed that the order of marking feature points of the unmanned aerial vehicle is defined from top to bottom, for example, the feature points are marked from the highest position of a building, each time the feature point marking at one height is completed, the unmanned aerial vehicle descends by a certain height, the feature points continue to be marked at the height after the unmanned aerial vehicle descends, the height of each descent can be a preset fixed height, each layer of feature points are marked according to the principle that the height is equal to the height and uniformly descends, the height can also be any height automatically descended by a user, the distance of each descent can be different, and the application is not limited. If the characteristic points are marked uniformly according to equal heights, the descending height is set to be l, after the unmanned aerial vehicle marks the characteristic points at the height H1, the route radius of the current height is calculated, a surrounding track is generated at the height H1, then whether the current height of the unmanned aerial vehicle from the ground is larger than the height l (namely, whether H1 is larger than l) is judged, if H1 is larger than l, the unmanned aerial vehicle descends by the height l, the characteristic points are marked continuously at the descending height H2 (namely, H1-l), the route radius at H2 is calculated, and the surrounding track at the height H2 is generated. If H1 < l, the unmanned aerial vehicle does not descend any more, and the process of manually marking the feature points is completed.
And when the feature point marking and the route radius calculation are completed for all the preset heights, synthesizing the surrounding tracks generated under each preset height into a complete surrounding route, wherein the surrounding routes are layered surrounding tracks.
In correspondence with the foregoing embodiment of a method for determining a surrounding route, the present application further provides an embodiment of an apparatus for determining a surrounding route, as shown in fig. 5, which is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for determining a surrounding route, including: a processor 501 and a memory 502;

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention further shows an aerial photography method applied to an unmanned aerial vehicle, where a specific flowchart is shown in fig. 6:
step S601: receiving a preset shooting distance and a plurality of different preset shooting heights sent by a terminal;
step S602: flying to the preset shooting height, wherein the distances from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surface of the building are the preset shooting distances when the unmanned aerial vehicle is at different preset shooting heights;
step S603: and taking pictures along a surrounding route at a plurality of preset shooting heights.
According to the aerial photography method, the unmanned aerial vehicle receives a preset shooting distance and a plurality of preset shooting heights sent by a terminal, flies to one of the preset shooting heights according to the plurality of different received preset shooting heights, and flies to a position which is far away from the surface of a building and is the received preset shooting distance under the shooting height.
In step S603, after the surrounding route is generated in the terminal for determining the surrounding route, the terminal sends the surrounding route to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the unmanned aerial vehicle flies along the surrounding route according to the received surrounding route and takes a picture.
In one example, the resolution of the pictures taken by the unmanned aerial vehicle is the same at different preset shooting heights. After the unmanned aerial vehicle receives the preset shooting intervals, the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the surface of the building is kept to be the preset shooting intervals when each preset shooting height is reached, and therefore the resolution of the pictures shot at each preset shooting height is the same.
And after the unmanned aerial vehicle receives the flight control command and flies above the building, starting the RTK mode to execute the aerial photography task. An RTK (real Time kinematic) technology is a real-Time dynamic positioning technology based on a carrier phase observation value, and after an RTK mode is started, a three-dimensional positioning result of a measurement station in an appointed coordinate system can be obtained in real Time, and the accuracy is very high and can reach centimeter level.
By the aerial photographing method in the embodiment, for buildings with inconsistent upper and lower widths, the radii of routes flown by the unmanned aerial vehicle at different heights are different, but the distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surface of the building is the same at each position of the surrounding route, so that the resolution of photographed photos can be kept consistent when the unmanned aerial vehicle flies along the generated surrounding route to perform aerial photographing tasks.
In one example, after receiving the preset shooting distance and the plurality of different preset shooting heights sent by the terminal, the method further includes the steps of: receiving the height of the sub-layer sent by the terminal, and flying to a sub-layer shot picture with the height being the height of the sub-layer; and the sub-layer height is obtained by calculating according to a set overlapping rate in the vertical direction after the terminal generates a surrounding route according to the route radii of the plurality of preset shooting heights. For example: if the unmanned aerial vehicle flies according to the round route in the above-described aerial photographing method, the photographed photograph may not cover the entire building surface, and thus the flight trajectory at the time of aerial photographing may be refined, that is, a sub-layer is interpolated in the round route. When the unmanned aerial vehicle receives the sub-layer height sent by the terminal, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to a sub-layer shot picture with the height being the sub-layer height; and the sub-layer height is obtained by calculating according to a set overlapping rate in the vertical direction after the terminal generates a surrounding route according to the route radii of the plurality of preset shooting heights. In the embodiment, when a terminal of the surrounding route is determined to analyze the surrounding route generated by manually marking the feature points, and the picture shot under the surrounding route is considered not to meet the set vertical direction overlapping rate, the interpolated sub-layer height is calculated according to the set vertical direction overlapping, and the sub-layer is inserted into the surrounding route generated by manually marking the feature points, so that the surrounding route is further refined, the refined surrounding route can meet the set vertical direction overlapping rate, namely, the aerial photography task is executed according to the refined surrounding route, and the shot picture can ensure to cover the whole building surface. When the unmanned aerial vehicle receives the refined surrounding route, flying along the refined surrounding route and executing an aerial photography task.
In one example, after the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the preset shooting height, the method further comprises the following steps: sending the shot picture to a terminal; and if the shooting distance reset by the terminal is received, flying to the position of the reset shooting distance to shoot the picture and sending the picture to the terminal. For example: after the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to a certain preset shooting height, photos are shot at a position away from the building surface by a preset shooting distance, the photos are sent to the terminal, the terminal finds that the definition of the photos is not ideal after receiving the photos, the resolution ratio does not meet the requirements, and then the shooting distance is reset. When the unmanned aerial vehicle receives the command of updating the shooting distance, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the position which is away from the surface of the building and is the reset shooting distance, and the photo is shot again and sent to the terminal.

In one embodiment, after the terminal generates the surrounding route, the terminal further performs the steps of:

and after receiving the sub-layer height sent by the terminal, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to a sub-layer shot picture with the height being the sub-layer height.
In one embodiment, after the unmanned aerial vehicle takes the picture along the surrounding route, the unmanned aerial vehicle further comprises sending the taken picture to the terminal, and the terminal receives the taken picture and obtains the picture resolution.
In one embodiment, the photo resolution includes: the terminal calculates the obtained picture resolution according to a preset shooting distance, or the picture resolution carried in the picture sent to the terminal by the unmanned aerial vehicle.
In this example, the terminal is represented as a schematic configuration of the remote control 101 in the figure, as an example. The structure diagram of the unmanned aerial vehicle system is shown in fig. 10, the interaction between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the terminal for determining the surrounding route in the unmanned aerial vehicle system establishes information transmission in a wireless communication mode, the system comprises the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 and a remote controller 101, a wireless communication device 1001 of the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 is connected with a wireless communication device 1012 of the remote controller 101, the remote controller 101 sends a control instruction to the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 through a wireless channel established by the wireless communication device, and the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 receives the control instruction, executes the corresponding instruction, and sends a shot photo to the remote controller 101 through the wireless channel established by the wireless communication device. When the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to a position away from the surface of the building by a preset shooting distance, a user presses the shooting control component 1014 on the remote controller 101, the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 receives a shooting instruction and then shoots a picture, the picture is sent to the remote controller 101 through the image transmission device 1004, and the user controls and checks the received picture through the view finding operation component 1013 on the display screen of the remote controller. As an example, the shooting control unit 1014, the flight control unit 1014, and the framing operation unit 1013 may implement their respective functions by using an APP.
To explain and explain the technical solution in this application more intuitively, taking a building in the shape of "spring bamboo shoot" as shown in fig. 11A as an example, if this building is aerial-photographed by using the prior art surround-flight method, the surrounding route of the unmanned aerial vehicle is as shown in fig. 11A, in the position where the "spring bamboo shoot" building is near the top, the photographing position of the unmanned aerial vehicle is relatively far from the building surface, and in the middle-lower part of the "spring bamboo shoot" building, the photographing position of the unmanned aerial vehicle is relatively close to the building surface, which results in that in the position where the building is near the top, the resolution of the photographed is small, and the resolution of the photographed is large in the middle-lower part of the building.
And the building is aerial-photographed by using the method for determining the surrounding route and the aerial photographing method, the surrounding route of the unmanned aerial vehicle is shown in fig. 11B, and the specific process is as follows:
firstly, selecting a central axis of a 'spring bamboo shoot' building as a reference line position, assuming that the height of the building is H, setting 9 preset shooting heights of H1-H9 shown in FIG. 11B to calculate a route radius, if the sequence of marking feature points is specified from top to bottom, firstly flying the unmanned aerial vehicle to a position with a height of H1 and a distance of d from the surface of the 'spring bamboo shoot' building, shooting a picture and sending the shot picture to a remote control terminal used by a user, observing the picture definition on a display screen of the remote control terminal by the user, finding that the picture definition is not ideal enough, then properly reducing the shooting distance, enabling the unmanned aerial vehicle to receive the updated shooting distance, flying to the updated shooting position to shoot the picture and sending the shot picture to the remote control terminal again, and when the picture resolution acquired by the user from the remote control terminal meets the requirement on the picture definition, the click key is pressed here to mark the feature point. If the shooting distance is too small and is smaller than the safety distance required to be kept in the flight process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the positions of the feature points can be marked again, and the flight safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured. When the resolution of the pictures shot by the unmanned aerial vehicle meets the requirement and the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the surface of the building of the 'spring bamboo shoot' also meets the requirement of the safety distance, the distance from the unmanned aerial vehicle to the surface of the building of the 'spring bamboo shoot' at the moment is set as a shooting distance D, and under each preset shooting height, the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the surface of the building is ensured to be the shooting distance D.
After the unmanned aerial vehicle marks the feature points at the height H1 and calculates the route radius at the height H1, the remote control terminal generates a surrounding track at the height H1, then updates the preset shooting height to H2 and sends a flight instruction to the unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the height H2 after receiving the updated shooting height H2, the step of marking the feature points is repeated, and the remote control terminal generates the surrounding track at the height H2. And repeating the steps in sequence to generate the surrounding tracks of the 9 preset shooting heights H1-H9.
Before the remote control terminal generates a complete surrounding route according to the layered surrounding tracks, whether sub-layers need to be inserted between the layered surrounding tracks can be judged. First, a vertical direction overlap ratio is set to 70%, and then the sublayer height calculated according to the above-described formula (1) is H, that is, if the vertical direction overlap ratio of 70% is to be satisfied, each layer should be H in photographing height, and if H1-H2> H, then between the heights H1 and H2, thinned sublayers are inserted. In fact, in the process of actually using manual dotting by a user, generally, in order to reduce the workload of marking feature points, the number of the selected preset shooting heights is small, and the height of each layer is generally greater than the calculated sub-layer height h, so that in most cases, the surrounding track generated by manual dotting can be refined by a sub-layer interpolation method. Assuming that the layered surrounding track after the sub-layers are interpolated is shown in fig. 11C, the remote control terminal generates a complete surrounding route according to the surrounding track in fig. 11C and sends the surrounding route to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the unmanned aerial vehicle executes the aerial photography task along the surrounding route.
When the unmanned aerial vehicle takes an aerial photograph along the surrounding route generated by the method, no matter which height the photo is taken at, the distance between the photo and the surface of the building of the spring bamboo shoot is always kept at D, so that the resolution of the photo is consistent, and the problem that the resolution of the photo taken at different heights is different in the prior art is solved. In addition, due to the adoption of the method of the interpolation sublayer, a user does not need to have particularly large workload when manually marking the feature points, only needs to roughly mark the feature points at a plurality of preset shooting heights to generate the surrounding track, and then further refines the surrounding track through the interpolation sublayer so as to generate a refined complete surrounding route.
