需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,飞行器安全起飞或降落方法可以基于飞行器单独实现,在一些实施例中,飞行器安全起飞或降落方法可以基于飞行控制系统来实现。
下面介绍本发明涉及的一种飞行器安全起飞方法,请参阅图2所示的飞行器安全起飞方法的流程示意图,该方法可以基于图1所示的飞行器控制系统来实现也可以基于飞行器单独来实现,该方法包括以下部分或全部步骤:
步骤S201:飞行器通过姿态传感器获取第一起飞点的坡度信息。
其中,姿态传感器用于获取飞行器的俯仰角、横滚角以及航向角等。姿态传感器可以包括但不限于陀螺仪、加速度计、磁力传感器等的至少一种。第一起飞点为飞行器所在的位置点。
当飞行器位于第一起飞点以第一起飞方向进行起飞前,飞行器的俯仰角即 为第一起飞点的坡度信息。
可以理解,飞行器与地面接触的至少三个接触点可以确定一个平面,该确定的平面也称为坡面,本发明各实施例中坡度信息或坡度值用于表示地表单元陡缓的程度,可以是坡面的垂直高度和水平距离的比值,也可以是坡面与水平面的夹角,本发明不作限定。
步骤S202:判断所述坡度信息是否大于第一起飞坡度阈值。
其中,第一起飞坡度阈值用于指示飞行器允许的最大起飞坡度值。
具体地,在坡度信息大于第一起飞坡度阈值,飞行器执行步骤S203,即执行安全起飞操作,在坡度信息小于第一起飞坡度阈值时,飞行器可以进行正常起飞操作;在坡度信息等于第一起飞坡度阈值时,飞行器可以执行安全起飞操作,也可以正常起飞,本发明不作限定。
步骤S203:执行安全起飞操作。
该安全起飞操作可以包括但不限于以下操作中的一种或多种的组合:
禁止飞行器在第一起飞点进行起飞;
输出告警信息;
切换飞行器的控制模式为自动控制模式;
向控制设备发送提示信息,该提示信息用于指示控制设备的用户调整所述飞行器至能起飞的第二起飞点起飞,所述第一方向对应的起飞坡度阈值大于所述坡度信息;
向控制设备发送坡度信息和/或告警信息。
其中,飞行器的控制模式可以包括自动控制模式、人工控制模式。还可以包括半自动控制模式。在飞行器判断第一起飞点的坡度信息大于第一起飞坡度阈值,则存在安全隐患,飞行器可以将飞行器的控制模式切换为自动控制模式,在自动控制模式下,飞行器可以执行其他的安全起飞操作,以防止用户强行起飞导致飞行器的斜翻和损坏。
其中,告警信息为用于指示第一起飞点的坡度信息大于第一起飞坡度阈值,以提示用户或机上驾驶人员等。输出告警信息的方法包括但不限于,语音提示、指示灯提示、发送告警信息至控制设备等中的至少一种。
可选地,告警信息还可以根据第一起飞点的坡度信息与第一起飞坡度阈值 的差值分警告级别,并进行与警告级别对应的安全起飞操作。例如,当第一起飞点的坡度信息等于第一起飞坡度阈值时,飞行器可以向控制设备发送第一告警信息,提示用户更换起飞点。当第一起飞点的坡度信息大于第一起飞坡度阈值时,飞行器可以向控制设备发送第二告警信息,并禁止飞行器在第一起飞点进行起飞。控制设备在接收到告警信息后,可以输出该告警信息。
其中,第二起飞点可以是任一起飞点,也可以是坡度信息小于第一起飞坡度阈值的起飞点,本发明不作限定。
一方面,不同的起飞方向,飞行器的起飞坡度阈值可以相同,同为第一起飞坡度阈值。
在本发明实施例的第一种实现方式中,第一起飞坡度阈值可以是飞行器预设一个固定值,该第一起飞坡度阈值与飞行器所在第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压、飞行器的重量、重心位置、起飞方向等因素无关。在坡度信息大于第一起飞坡度阈值的情况下,飞行器执行安全起飞操作。
在本发明实施例的第二种实现方式中,第一起飞坡度阈值与海拔高度或气压值有关,飞行器可以预先存储海拔高度或气压与起飞坡度阈值的对应关系,此时,飞行器在步骤S202之前,还可以获取到第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压,以及根据海拔高度或气压与起飞坡度阈值的对应关系确定第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压对应的第一起飞坡度阈值。可以理解,第一起飞点气压与该第一起飞点的海拔高度有关,两者可以相互转化。例如,海拔高度与起飞坡度阈值的对应关系可以如表1所示:
海拔高度/气压 起飞坡度阈值(角度)
0-500m 45°
500-1000m 40°
1000-2000m 36°
表1
另一方面,不同的起飞方向,飞行器的起坡度飞阈值不同。飞行器还包括起飞坡度包线。该起飞坡度包线包括与多个起飞方向各自对应的起飞坡度阈值,用于指示飞行器起飞时在各个起飞方向上允许的最大起飞坡度值。第一坡度阈 值为起飞坡度包线中第一起飞方向对应的起飞坡度阈值。步骤S202的一种实施方式可以是:飞行器根据起飞坡度包线判断坡度信息是否小于第一起飞方向对应的第一起飞坡度阈值。
在本发明实施例的第三种实现方式中,起飞坡度包线可以是飞行器预设与各个起飞方向对应的固定坡度值,该起飞坡度包线与飞行器所在第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压、飞行器的重量、重心位置等因素无关。在坡度信息大于第一起飞方向对应的第一起飞坡度阈值的情况下,飞行器执行安全起飞操作。
在本发明实施例的第四种实现方式中,起飞坡度包线可以与海拔高度或气压值有关,飞行器可以预先存储海拔高度或气压与起飞坡度包线的对应关系,此时,在步骤S202之前,飞行器还可以获取到第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压,以及根据海拔高度或气压与起飞坡度阈值的对应关系确定第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压对应的第一起飞坡度包线。可以理解,第一起飞点的气压与该第一起飞点的海拔高度有关,两者可以相互转化。飞行器可以根据第一起飞坡度包线判断坡度信息是否大于第一起飞坡度包线中第一起飞方向对应的第一起飞坡度阈值。在坡度信息大于第一起飞方向对应的第一起飞坡度阈值的情况下,飞行器执行安全起飞操作。
在本发明实施例的第五种实现方式中,起飞坡度包线可以与海拔高度或气压值、重量和重心位置等中的至少一种有关,通常,飞行器越重,其对应的起飞坡度包线中各个起飞方向对应的起飞坡度阈值越小;气压越小或海拔高度越大,其对应的起飞坡度包线中各个起飞方向对应的起飞坡度阈值越小。在步骤S202之前,飞行器可以获取到第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压、重量和重心位置等中的至少一种。并根据获取到的第一起飞点的海拔高度或气压、重量和重心位置等中的至少一种计算飞行器的第一起飞坡度包线。进而,飞行器可以根据第一起飞坡度包线判断坡度信息是否小于第一起飞方向对应的第一起飞坡度阈值。在坡度信息大于第一起飞方向对应的第一起飞坡度阈值的情况下,飞行器执行安全起飞操作。
其中,飞行器获取第一起飞点的海拔高度的一种实施方式可以是:飞行器通过气压传感器获取第一起飞点的气压,根据该气压计算海报高度。飞行器获取第一起飞点的海拔高度的另一种实施方式可以是:飞行器通过定位系统获取 海拔高度,该定位系统包括但不限于通信卫星定位系统和/或基站定位系统。卫星定位系统包括但不限于全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)、北斗卫星导航系统(BeiDou Navigation Satellite System,BDS)等,本发明不作限定。
其中,飞行器获取第一起飞点的气压的一种实施方式可以是:飞行器通过气压传感器获取第一起飞点的气压。飞行器获取第一起飞点的气压的另一种实施方式可以是:飞行器通过定位系统获取海拔高度,根据该海报高度计算气压。
可选地,当通过气压传感器获取到的气压出现异常时,例如,当通过气压传感器获取到的气压大于第一气压阈值(比如,101kPa、105kPa或其他数值)或小于第二气压阈值(比如,50kPa、40kPa、35kPa或其他数值)时,飞行器可以通过定位系统获取第一起飞点的海拔高度。
其中,通过定位系统获取到的海报高度H 测量可能与第一位置点的实际海拔高度存在一定的误差。在确定或计算第一起飞坡度阈值的过程中,所采用的海拔高度H 使用=H 测量+H 最大误差+H 容限。其中,H 最大误差为计算海拔高度的方法本身所携带的最大误差,H 容限为设定的高度范围。
同样道理,通过气压传感器获取到的气压P 测量可能与第一位置点的实际气压存在一定的误差。在确定或计算第一起飞坡度阈值的过程中,所采用的气压P 使用=P 测量-P 最大误差-P 容限。其中,P 最大误差为计算气压的方法本身所携带的最大误差,P 容限为设定的气压范围。
本发明实施例中,飞行器可以通过姿态传感器获取第一起飞点的坡度信息,判断坡度信息是否大于第一起飞坡度阈值,在坡度信息大于第一起飞坡度阈值的情况下,执行安全起飞操作,进而避免飞行器起飞时的侧翻,保障飞行器及飞行器上人员和财产的安全。
而且,可以基于起飞坡度包线来精确区分各个起飞方向上的起飞坡度阈值,使得飞行器更加精确地控制飞行器。
下面介绍本发明涉及的一种飞行器安全降落方法,请参阅图3所示的飞行器安全降落方法的流程示意图,该方法可以基于图1所示的飞行器控制系统来实现也可以基于飞行器单独来实现,该方法包括以下部分或全部步骤:
步骤S301:飞行器通过地形获取装置获取周围环境的地形信息,所述地形信息包括第一降落点的坡度信息。
其中,第一降落点为飞行器的目标降落的位置。当飞行器以第一降落方向向第一降落点进行降落之前,飞行器可以通过地形获取装置获取周围环境的地形信息,所述地形信息包括第一降落点的坡度信息。

飞行器可以获取飞行器的姿态信息,当双目摄像装置设置于云台上时,飞行器还获取云台的姿态信息,进而根据获取到的姿态信息确定双目摄像装置在实际空间中的姿态,也即相对于地面的姿态。进而,飞行器或控制设备可以根据双目摄像装置的姿态以及各个位置点的深度信息确定各个位置点的空间位置坐标,进而根据该环境中各个位置点的空间位置坐标模拟出周围环境的地形信息。具体可参见,图1中相关描述,本发明不在赘述。
可选地,地形获取装置可以包括姿态传感器和和雷达,姿态传感器用于获取飞行器的俯仰角、横滚角以及航向角等姿态信息。姿态传感器可以包括但不限于陀螺仪、加速度计、磁力传感器等中的一种。雷达用于扫描周围的环境,获取到飞行器与周围环境中各个扫描点的距离信息。飞行器或控制设备可以根据雷达的姿态(例如相对于地面的姿态)以及飞行器与各个扫描点的距离信息确定各个扫描点的空间位置坐标,进而根据周围环境中各个采集点的空间位置坐标模拟出周围环境的地形信息。
进而,飞行器或控制设备可以根据地形信息确定周围环境中包括第一降落点在内的各个位置点的坡度信息。
可以理解,以第一降落点为中心的预设面积的区域可近似为一个平面,该确定的平面也称为坡面,该破面的坡度信息或坡度值即为第一降落点本发明各实施例中坡度信息或坡度值用于表示地表单元陡缓的程度,可以是坡面的垂直高度和水平距离的比值,也可以是坡面与水平面的夹角,本发明不作限定。
步骤S302:判断坡度信息是否大于第一降落坡度阈值。
其中,第一降落坡度阈值用于指示飞行器允许的最大降落坡度值。
具体地,在坡度信息大于第一降落坡度阈值,飞行器执行步骤S303,即执行安全降落操作,在坡度信息小于第一降落坡度阈值时,飞行器可以进行正常降落操作;在坡度信息等于第一降落坡度阈值时,飞行器可以执行安全降落操作,也可以正常降落,本发明不作限定。
步骤S303:执行安全降落操作,以避免飞行器侧翻。
该安全降落操作可以包括但不限于以下操作中的一种或多种的组合:
禁止所述飞行器在所述第一降落点降落;
输出告警信息;
切换控制模式为自动控制模式;
调整所述飞行器的机头方向至第一降落方向,在第一降落点进行降落,所述第一降落方向对应的降落坡度阈值大于所述坡度信息;

向控制设备发送所述坡度信息和/或告警信息;
向控制设备发送所述地形信息,接受控制设备发送的针对第三降落点输入的降落指令,并根据所述降落指令,在所述第三降落点进行降落。
其中,飞行器的控制模式可以包括自动控制模式、人工控制模式。还可以包括半自动控制模式。在飞行器判断第一降落点的坡度信息大于第一降落坡度阈值,则存在安全隐患,飞行器可以将飞行器的控制模式切换为自动控制模式,在自动控制模式下,飞行器可以执行其他的安全降落操作,以防止用户强行降落导致飞行器的斜翻和损坏。
其中,告警信息为用于指示第一降落点的坡度信息大于第一降落坡度阈值,以提示用户或机上驾驶人员等。输出告警信息的方法包括但不限于,语音提示、指示灯提示、发送告警信息至控制设备等中的至少一种。
可选地,告警信息还可以根据第一降落点的坡度信息与第一降落坡度阈值的差值划分警告级别,并进行与警告级别对应的安全降落操作。例如,当第一降落点的坡度信息等于第一降落坡度阈值时,飞行器可以向控制设备发送第一 告警信息,提示用户更换降落点。当第一降落点的坡度信息大于第一降落坡度阈值时,飞行器可以向控制设备发送第二告警信息,并禁止飞行器在第一降落点进行降落。控制设备在接收到告警信息后,可以输出该告警信息。
其中,对于不同的降落方向,降落坡度阈值可以不同。飞行器的可以包括降落坡度包线,该降落坡度包线可以包括与多个降落方向各自对应的降落坡度阈值。此时,第一降落坡度阈值为第一降落方向上的降落坡度阈值。飞行器可以调整所述飞行器的机头方向至第二降落方向,在第一降落点以第二降落方向进行降落,该坡度信息小于第二降落方向对应的降落坡度阈值。当坡度信息大于降落坡度包线中任意的一个降落方向对应的降落坡度阈值时,飞行器可以执行其他安全降落操作,比如禁止飞行器降落。
其中,飞行器可以向控制设备发送所述地形信息,控制设备在接收到地形信息后,在用户界面输出该地形信息可视化后的地形地图,请参阅图4所示的地形地图的界面示意图,如图4所示界面40,该界面可以包括地形地图401,该地形地图可以以等高线的形式显示,如图4所示,也可以以其他的形式显示,本法发明不做限制。控制设备还可以根据第一降落坡度阈值,在该地形地图401上标注安全降落点402。其中,安全降落点402可以是坡度信息小于第一降落坡度阈值的位置点。控制设备可以接收用户针对该界面40输入的点击、双击、滑动、缩放等操作,并对界面40进行与操作相对应的处理。例如,控制设备接收到用户针对地形地图401上第三降落点的降落操作,控制设备生成降落指令,并发送至飞行器,飞行器在接收到降落指令后,控制飞行器在第三降落点进行降落。第三降落点可以是安全降落点402中一个位置点。
可选地,该地形地图还可以以颜色来区分地形地图上各个位置点的坡度信息或通过颜色来区分可降落区域、存在降落风险区域和不可降落区域。例如,地形地图中标示绿色的区域指示分可降落区域,如坡度小于第一降落阈值的位置区域;地形地图中标示黄色的区域指示存在降落风险区域,如坡度等于第一降落阈值的位置区域;地形地图中标示红色的区域指示不可降落区域,如坡度大于第一降落阈值的位置区域,进而实现地形地图中颜色随坡度的梯度变化。
可选地,飞行器还可以将扫描的图像信息发送至控制设备,控制设备可以将图像信息融合到地形地图中。
可选地,控制设备还可以获取或计算出降落坡度包线,并在地形地图上显示该降落坡度包线。
一方面,不同的降落方向,飞行器的降落坡度阈值可以相同,同为第一降落坡度阈值。
