在如以上方式构成的UAV10中,摄像装置100及云台50分别执行抖动校正,所以有时无法恰当地进行摄像装置100的抖动校正,从而摄像装置100无法对期望的图像进行摄像。例如,若UAV10上搭载的摄像装置100中的快门发生动作,则UAV10有时会因快门的动作而抖动,从而令摄像装置100无法对期望的图像进行摄像。

以所述方式构成的镜头部200所具有的快门230、滤波器238、光圈234、镜头210、或使镜头210移动的机构部件进行驱动时,摄像装置100有时会振动。本实施方式中,在快门230、滤波器238、光圈234、镜头210、镜头210的机构部件实施动作前,云台50预先获取所述振动的振动信息。云台50还预先获取快门230、滤波器238、光圈234、镜头210、或镜头210的机构部件进行动作的时间。并且,云台50根据振动信息而在此时间进行动作,防止摄像装置100抖动。这里,快门230、滤波器238、光圈234、镜头210及镜头210的机构部件是产生振动的振动产生部的一例。以下,以快门230作为振动产生部的一例进行说明。
云台50具备内存51、云台控制部52、陀螺传感器59及旋转机构58。云台控制部52可由CPU或MPU等微处理器、MCU等微控制器等构成。陀螺传感器59检测云台50的振动。旋转机构58以利用致动器可使摄像装置100分别以横滚轴及偏航轴为中心旋转的方式对其进行支持。旋转机构58可以以可使摄像装置100以偏航轴、俯仰轴及横滚轴中的至少一个为中心旋转的方式对其进行支持。
云台控制部52具有获取部53、旋转控制部54及生成部56。获取部53获取表示快门230产生振动的时间的时间信息。获取部53可从摄像装置100获取时间信息。获取部53获取云台50的控制信息,该云台50的控制信息对应于快门230产生的振动。获取部53为第1获取部、第2获取部及第3获取部的一例。旋转控制部54在时间信息所表示的时间,根据控制信息而控制云台50。旋转控制部54为控制部的一例。
镜头部200的内存222可预先存储快门230产生的振动的振动信息。并且,获取部53可从镜头部200获取振动信息。生成部56可根据由获取部53所获取的振动信息而生成控制信息。获取部53可获取由生成部56所生成的控制信息。例如,在摄像装置100出厂前,在实际上将摄像装置100搭载于云台50的状态下使快门230发生动作,并利用陀螺传感器116检测此时摄像装置100的振动。并且,可根据由陀螺传感器116检测出的检测信号而生成振动信息,且将该振动信息预先登记到内存222中。
内存222也可并不存储振动信息,而存储与振动信息对应的云台50的控制信息。此情况下,获取部53可从内存222获取控制信息。控制信息可包含针对云台50所具备的马达的驱动指令。
振动信息或驱动信息也可存储在内存51中。此情况下,获取部53可从内存51获取振动信息或驱动信息。获取部53也可从连接于网络上的服务器获取与镜头部200的振动对应的振动信息或驱动信息。
内存51中,可与多个镜头部、即多个可换镜头各自的识别信息相应地存储与多个镜头部各自具有的快门230产生的振动对应的云台50的控制信息。此情况下,获取部53可从镜头部200获取摄像装置100中装设的镜头部200的识别信息。并且,获取部53可从内存51获取与所获取的识别信息对应的控制信息。
内存51中,可与多个镜头部各自的识别信息相应地存储多个镜头部各自具有的快门230产生的振动的振动信息。此情况下,获取部53可从内存51获取与从镜头部200获取的镜头部200的识别信息对应的振动信息。生成部56可获取与所获取的振动信息对应的云台50的控制信息。
根据镜头部200与云台50的组合,摄像装置100的振动状态发生变化。即,摄像装置100的振动状态会根据可换镜头的类型与云台50的类型的组合而发生变化。
因此,例如UAV10所具有的内存32中,可与多个镜头部200各自的识别信息及多个云台50各自的识别信息相应地存储多个镜头部200各自具有的快门230产生的振动的振动信息。获取部53从摄像装置100中装设的镜头部200获取镜头部200的识别信息,且从内存51获取支持着摄像装置100的云台50的识别信息。获取部53可从内存32获取与镜头部200的识别信息及云台50的识别信息对应的振动信息。生成部56可根据由获取部53所获取的振动信息而生成控制信息。
内存32中,可与多个镜头部200各自的识别信息及多个云台50各自的识别信息相应地存储与多个镜头部200各自具有的快门230产生的振动对应的多个云台50各自的控制信息。获取部53可从内存32获取与镜头部200的识别信息及云台50的识别信息对应的振动信息。
摄像部102所具有的内存130也可存储快门230产生的振动的振动信息、或与振动信息对应的控制信息。
图3表示使控制信息及镜头各自的识别信息相对应的表格的一例。内存51可存储此表格。获取部53从表格读取与从镜头部200获取的镜头部200的识别信息对应的控制信息的识别信息。获取部53可还从内存51获取与从表格读取的控制信息的识别信息对应的控制 信息。
图4是使控制信息、镜头及云台各自的识别信息相对应的表格的一例。内存32可存储此表格。获取部53从表格读取与从镜头部200获取的镜头部200的识别信息、及从内存51获取的云台50的识别信息对应的控制信息的识别信息。获取部53可还从内存51获取与从表格读取的控制信息的识别信息对应的控制信息。
获取部53可从摄像装置100获取表示快门230动作时间的时间信息。旋转控制部54在时间信息所表示的时间,根据由获取部53所获取的控制信息而控制云台50。由此,能防止摄像装置100随着快门230的动作而产生振动。
云台控制部52也可根据来自陀螺传感器59及陀螺传感器116的检测信号,通过反馈控制进一步控制云台50的旋转。即,云台控制部52可以进行基于控制信息的前馈控制、及基于来自陀螺传感器59及陀螺传感器116的检测信号的反馈控制。
云台控制部52可还具有驱动指示部57。在拍摄时快门230发生动作的时间之前的预先确定的时间,驱动指示部57指示摄像装置100驱动快门230。云台控制部52例如可在UAV10飞行前的校准时间,指示摄像装置100驱动快门230。生成部56可从摄像部102的陀螺传感器116获取与摄像装置100的振动对应的检测信号,并在UAV10飞行前的校准时间,根据该检测信号而生成云台50的控制信息,且将其存储在内存51中。
云台50也可能无法完全抑制快门230的振动。此情况下,可利用摄像装置100的抖动校正来除去该振动的残留成分。摄像控制部110可具有获取部112及抖动校正部114。获取部112可获取针对振动的残留成分的校正信息,该振动的残留成分是通过基于控制信息的云台50的控制而无法抑制的成分。获取部112可获取内存222或内存130等内存储的校正信息。抖动校正部114可在快门230发生动作 的时间,根据校正信息执行抖动校正。抖动校正部114可执行所谓光学式抖动校正。即,抖动校正部114可通过在快门230发生动作的时间根据校正信息而驱动镜头210及图像传感器120中的至少一方,从而根据校正信息执行抖动校正。可由此除去无法通过控制云台50而除去的振动的残留成分。校正信息例如可根据镜头部200的出厂前的测定而生成。即,在实际上将摄像装置100搭载于云台50的状态下使快门230发生动作,且根据控制信息而对云台50执行抖动校正。此时,由陀螺传感器116检测摄像装置100的振动的残留成分。摄像控制部110可根据陀螺传感器116检测出的检测信号而生成校正信息,且将该校正信息预先登记到内存222中。例如可以云台50对于因快门230所致的摄像装置100的振动的频带中的第1频带进行校正,摄像装置100针对其中的第2频带进行校正。云台50可通过摄像装置100的姿势控制来对因快门230所致的摄像装置100的振动的频带中的第1频带的振动成分进行校正。摄像装置100也可通过光学式抖动校正来对低于第1频带的第2频带的振动成分进行校正。第1频带可比第2频带宽。
如图5所示,摄像装置100所具有的MCU100A与云台50所具有的MCU50A可通过GPIO端口进行通信。MCU100A作为摄像控制部110发挥功能,MCU50A作为云台控制部52发挥功能。
如图6所示,云台50通过陀螺传感器116对整个摄像装置100的振动500进行检测,且为了抑制该振动500,利用反馈控制来抑制摄像装置100的振动。而且,云台50是以施加振动502的方式利用前馈控制进行动作,该振动502是用来消除在快门230发生动作的时间产生的摄像装置100的振动501的振动。
如图7及图8所示,云台50例如从远程操作装置300通过UAV控制部30而接收摄像装置100的释放指示(S100)。摄像装置100接收释放指示后,利用GPIO通信向云台50通知表示使快门230进行动作的时间的时间信息(S102)。摄像装置100例如向云台50通知使 快门230在1ms后进行动作。发出通知后,云台50及摄像装置100各自的MCU50A及MCU100A的计时器开始计数(S104)。各个计时器结束1ms的计数时,摄像装置100使快门230进行动作,云台50根据与快门230的振动对应的控制信息而使摄像装置100抖动。云台50以预先确定的振动模式进行动作,由此执行校正动作。通过云台50的控制,因快门230的动作所致的摄像装置100的振动501如符号506所示被消除。
以上,根据本实施方式所涉及的摄像系统,能防止当可旋转地由云台50支持的摄像装置100进行摄像时无法恰当地执行摄像装置100的抖动校正。
