一种三轴光电吊舱及其控制方法A three-axis photoelectric pod and its control method

技术领域Technical field

本发明涉及无人机光电吊舱技术领域,尤其涉及一种三轴光电吊舱及其控制方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of UAV photoelectric pods, and in particular to a three-axis photoelectric pod and a control method thereof.

背景技术Background technique

随着科学技术的发展,无人机技术无论是在体积、续航、操控还是在飞控算法、机器视觉、云台技术以及软件开发能力等都得到了飞速的发展,无人机因能实现多平台挂载实现高效的作业反馈,使其在巡检、安防和搜救等行业应用大受欢迎。为实现多方位多角度的巡检,无人机下部的吊舱常采用三轴光电吊舱,三轴光电吊舱安装于固定翼或多旋翼无人机上,搭载高清可见光相机、红外测温相机、图像处理模块等光电载荷,具有方向、横滚和俯仰三个机械轴的三轴稳像功能,可实现在飞机飞行过程中相机清晰成像、目标稳定跟踪、目标测温等功能。无人机起飞后,光电吊舱的状态信息和图像信息通过机载设备传输到地面站,地面站将接收到的信息及图像处理后,输出到显示界面上。With the development of science and technology, drone technology has developed rapidly in terms of size, endurance, control, flight control algorithm, machine vision, gimbal technology and software development capabilities. The platform mounting enables efficient operation feedback, making it popular in industries such as inspection, security, and search and rescue. In order to achieve multi-directional and multi-angle inspections, the lower pod of the drone often uses a three-axis photoelectric pod. The three-axis photoelectric pod is installed on a fixed-wing or multi-rotor drone and is equipped with a high-definition visible light camera and an infrared temperature measurement camera. , image processing module and other optoelectronic loads, it has a three-axis image stabilization function with three mechanical axes of direction, roll and pitch, which can achieve functions such as clear camera imaging, stable target tracking, and target temperature measurement during aircraft flight. After the UAV takes off, the status information and image information of the photoelectric pod are transmitted to the ground station through the airborne equipment. The ground station processes the received information and images and outputs them to the display interface.

然而目前应用于无人机巡检监测作业的三轴光电吊舱的光电载荷质量和体积较大,受到无人机飞行过程中各种影响以及光电吊舱转动过程中的各项因素,其实际拍摄及跟踪功能受到一定影响。例如公开号为CN217198684U的专利文件,其公开了“一种高集成度小型三光吊舱”,实现了小型紧凑性的三轴三光吊舱设计,使得小型无人机能够带动三光设备,并实现多种功能的融合。但是该光电吊舱外轮廓尺寸不规则且具有一定的重量,无人机飞行中吊舱所受风阻力影响较大,吊舱在三轴方向的转动不稳定,导致高速飞行中对目标的跟踪效率受到影响;另一方面,由于在飞行拍摄时无人机及三轴光电吊舱的振动、偏航、俯仰及横滚等因素,所拍摄的照片会产生模糊、扭曲等现象,严重影响拍摄效果。However, the three-axis photoelectric pod currently used in UAV inspection and monitoring operations has a large photoelectric load mass and volume, which is affected by various influences during the flight of the UAV and various factors during the rotation of the photoelectric pod. The shooting and tracking functions are affected to some extent. For example, the patent document with the publication number CN217198684U discloses "a highly integrated small three-light pod", which realizes a small and compact three-axis three-light pod design, enabling small drones to drive three-light equipment and realize multiple The integration of functions. However, the outer contour size of the photoelectric pod is irregular and has a certain weight. The pod is greatly affected by wind resistance during the flight of the UAV. The rotation of the pod in the three-axis direction is unstable, resulting in tracking of targets during high-speed flight. Efficiency is affected; on the other hand, due to factors such as vibration, yaw, pitch and roll of the drone and the three-axis photoelectric pod during flight shooting, the photos taken will be blurred and distorted, seriously affecting the shooting Effect.
