detailed description

In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments It is a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of this application.

The pan-tilt system processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to the pan-tilt system 10 shown in FIG. 1 . With reference to Fig. 1, can comprise the first cloud platform 11 and the cloud platform system control device 12 in the cloud platform system 10, the first cloud platform 11 is used for carrying photographing device and drives photographing device to rotate, and photographing device can be video camera, video camera, camera for example , mobile phone, etc. The pan/tilt system control device 12 is configured to execute the method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

Wherein, the first platform 11 may specifically be any type of mechanism capable of carrying the photographing device and driving the photographing device to rotate. In one embodiment, the first gimbal 11 may include an axial stabilization mechanism with an axial stabilization function, so as to reversely compensate the axial shake of the shooting device and reduce the vibration caused by the user's body or arm axis during shooting. The impact of directional shaking on the captured picture can be improved to improve the shooting effect. Exemplarily, the first gimbal 11 may specifically be a three-axis gimbal, which can rotate around a yaw (yaw) axis, a roll (roll) axis, and a pitch (pitch) axis to adjust the shooting device Angle.

In practical applications, users can transform different product forms for the pan/tilt system 10 according to requirements, so as to apply to different usage scenarios.

In a product form, the gravity of the first platform 11 can act on the base. The product shape in which the gravity of the first platform 11 acts on the base can be as shown in FIG. 2A or FIG. 2B , for example. In Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B, the first platform 11 can be carried on the second platform 13, and the second platform 13 can be carried on the base 14, and the second platform 13 is used to drive the first platform 11 on the platform. move in the moving direction. It should be noted that, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are specifically schematic diagrams of different usage states of the bearing assembly for carrying the first pan/tilt 11 in the second pan/tilt 13 .

Wherein, the second platform 13 may specifically be any type of mechanism capable of carrying the first platform 11 and driving the first platform 11 to move in the translational direction. In one embodiment, the translational direction can be the vertical direction, and the second pan/tilt 13 can include a vertical stabilization mechanism with a vertical stabilization function, so as to reversely compensate the shake in the vertical direction of the shooting device and reduce the During the shooting process, due to the shaking of the user's body or arm in the vertical direction, the impact on the captured picture is improved, and the shooting effect is improved.

It should be noted that in FIG. 2A , the first gimbal 11 is used as an axial stabilization mechanism (specifically, a three-axis gimbal) and the second gimbal 13 is an example of a vertical stabilization mechanism.

It should be noted that, in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B , the gravity of the first platform 11 acts on the base 14 through the direct mechanical coupling of the first platform 11 and the second platform 13 . It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the gravity of the first pan/tilt 11 can act on the base 14 in other ways, for example, by directly mechanically coupling the first pan/tilt 11 to the base 14, Realize that the gravity of the first platform 11 acts on the base 14, and the corresponding product form does not provide the function of the first platform 11 moving in the translational direction.

In another product form, the gravity of the first platform 11 can act on a predetermined platform different from the base. Wherein, the predetermined platform may specifically be a platform capable of carrying the first pan/tilt 11 different from the base shown in FIG. , handheld gimbal. In one embodiment, the predetermined platform may include a handle. In this case, the product shape in which the gravity of the first platform 11 acts on the predetermined platform may be as shown in FIG. 2C , for example. In FIG. 2C , the first platform 11 is carried on the handle 15 so that the user can hold it. The handle 15 can also communicate with the base 14 in a wired manner, and the base 14 provides one or more functions. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, a wireless communication connection may also be adopted if the requirements are met; or, in other embodiments, the handle 15 may not be in communication with the base 14, that is, the When the gravity of the table does not act on the base, the base may not provide the function.

From Figure 2A to Figure 2C, it can be seen that the gravity of the first pan/tilt 11 acts on the product shape of the base, which is suitable for use scenarios with small-scale scheduling and spacious spaces, but not for large-scale scheduling or narrow space usage scenarios . The gravity of the first pan/tilt 11 does not act on the product form of the base, so it can be applied to a large-scale deployment or a usage scenario in a narrow space. Thus, users can choose the product form suitable for the usage scenario according to the specific usage scenario.

However, after the product form corresponding to the pan-tilt system changes, if the same processing method is adopted for the first pan-tilt 11 , there will be a problem of inappropriate control of the first pan-tilt 11 .

In the embodiment of the present application, it is determined whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt 11 in the pan/tilt system 10 acts on the base 14 through the pan/tilt system control device 12, and the processing method corresponding to the determination result is adopted to perform the action on the first pan/tilt 11. The target processing realizes the processing method corresponding to the determination result of whether the gravity of the first platform 11 acts on the base to carry out the target processing for the first platform 11, because the gravity of the first platform 11 acts on the base and In the two cases of not acting on the base, the factors that can be considered for processing the first pan/tilt 11 can be different, so it is realized that the processing method corresponding to the factors that can be considered in the current product form is used for processing the first pan/tilt 11 , making the processing for the first pan/tilt 11 more appropriate, which is conducive to improving user experience.

It should be noted that, in FIG. 1 , the pan-tilt system control device 12 is located outside the first pan-tilt 11 as an example. In other embodiments, the pan-tilt system control device 12 can also be integrated in the first pan-tilt 11; or, when the pan-tilt system 10 also includes a base, the pan-tilt system control device 12 can be integrated in the base 14 And/or in the first cloud platform 11.

Some implementations of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for controlling a pan/tilt system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of this embodiment may be a pan/tilt system control device, specifically, a processor of the pan/tilt system control device. As shown in Figure 3, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step 31, determining whether the gravity of the first platform in the platform system acts on the base, wherein the base is used to carry the first platform, the first platform is used to carry the shooting device and Drive the shooting device to rotate.

In this step, the specific manner of determining whether the gravity of the first pan-tilt in the pan-tilt system acts on the base can be implemented flexibly. Exemplarily, it may be determined what is the specific support device currently carrying the first pan/tilt, and further determining whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base according to the determined support device. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, when it is determined that the support device currently carrying the first pan/tilt is the second pan/tilt carried on the base, it can be further determined that the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base; When it is determined that the supporting device currently carrying the first platform is a handle, it may be further determined that the gravity of the first platform does not act on the base.

Or, as an example, the product form manually selected by the user may be determined, and according to the product form selected by the user, it is determined whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base. For example, as shown in Figure 2B and Figure 2C, when the product form selected by the user is the airborne form shown in Figure 2B, it can be determined that the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base; In the split form shown in FIG. 2C , it can be determined that the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base.

Or, as an example, it may be determined whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base according to the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C , the position where the first cloud platform 11 is used to connect to the second platform 13 can be provided with a pressure sensor, and when the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is greater than the preset pressure value, it can be determined The gravity of the first platform 11 acts on the base 14 ; when the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is lower than the preset pressure value, it can be determined that the gravity of the first platform 11 does not act on the base 14 .

Or, for example, it may be determined whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base according to the light intensity value sensed by the light sensor. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, the position where the first cloud platform 11 is used to connect to the second platform 13 can be provided with a light sensor, and when the light intensity value sensed by the light sensor is less than the preset light intensity value, Since the first platform 11 has an obstruction to the connection position, it can be determined that the gravity of the first platform acts on the base 14; when the light intensity value sensed by the light sensor is greater than the preset light intensity value, due to the If the connection position is not blocked, it can be determined that the gravity of the first platform 11 does not act on the base 14 .

Step 32: Perform target processing on the first pan/tilt by using a processing manner corresponding to the determination result.

In this step, the target processing may be any type of processing whose specific processing method is affected by whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base or not. Exemplarily, target processing may include attitude determination processing and/or follow control processing.

It can be understood that when the gravity of the first platform acts on the base, the specific processing method for the object processing of the first platform is the same as when the gravity of the first platform does not act on the base. The specific processing methods of the target processing of different platforms are different.

The pan-tilt system processing method provided in this embodiment, by determining whether the gravity of the first pan-tilt in the pan-tilt system acts on the base, adopts a processing method corresponding to the determination result to perform target processing for the first pan-tilt, and realizes Use the processing method corresponding to the determination result of whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base to perform target processing for the first pan/tilt, since the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base and does not act on the base In this case, the factors that can be considered in the processing of the first gimbal can be different, so the processing method corresponding to the factors that can be considered in the current product form is adopted to process the first gimbal, making the processing for the first gimbal more efficient. Appropriate and conducive to improving user experience.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a pan-tilt system control method provided by another embodiment of the present application. On the basis of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, this embodiment mainly describes the processing method corresponding to the determination result, and performs the first An optional implementation of gimbal object processing. As shown in Figure 4, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step 41, determining whether the gravity of the first platform in the platform system acts on the base, wherein the base is used to carry the first platform, the first platform is used to carry the shooting device and Drive the shooting device to rotate.

In this step, optionally, it may be determined whether the supporting device currently carrying the first pan/tilt is a predetermined platform, and the predetermined platform is different from the base. Wherein, the supporting device currently carrying the first platform is a predetermined platform, indicating that the gravity of the first platform does not act on the base; the supporting device currently carrying the first platform is not a predetermined platform, indicating that the gravity of the first platform acts on the base seat.

Further optionally, determining whether the supporting device currently carrying the first pan/tilt is a predetermined platform may specifically include: determining whether the predetermined platform is connected to the pan/tilt system; The supporting device of the first pan/tilt is a predetermined platform; if the predetermined platform is not connected to the pan/tilt system, it means that the supporting device currently carrying the first pan/tilt is not a predetermined platform. For example, the base 14 or the second pan/tilt 13 in FIG. 2C may be provided with a hardware circuit for detecting whether the handle is connected, and determine whether the handle is connected to the pan/tilt system according to the output of the hardware circuit.

Exemplarily, when the first gimbal can be directly mechanically coupled to the base, the current supporting device carrying the first gimbal is not a predetermined platform may include: the supporting device currently carrying the first gimbal is a base. Or, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the first platform 11 can be directly mechanically coupled with the second platform 13, the support device currently carrying the first platform 11 is not a predetermined platform may include: currently carrying the first platform 11 The supporting device is the second cloud platform 13 carried on the base 14 .

Step 42 , using a processing method corresponding to the determination result to perform attitude determination processing for the first pan/tilt.

In this step, the specific processing method for determining the attitude of the first pan/tilt is affected by whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base or not. That is, when the gravity of the first pan-tilt acts on the base, the specific processing method for determining the attitude of the first pan-tilt is performed, and when the gravity of the first pan-tilt does not act on the base, the attitude determination process for the first pan-tilt is performed. The specific processing methods of the attitude determination processing are different.

Because when the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base, the change of the attitude of the base will cause the attitude of the first gimbal to change, therefore, when the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base, the attitude of the base is different from that of the first gimbal. The determination of the attitude of a pan-tilt is referential, so when the gravity of the first pan-tilt acts on the base, the attitude of the base of the base can be used as a factor that can be considered in the attitude determination process for the first pan-tilt. In this case, an inertial measurement unit (IMU, Inertial Measurement Unit), a visual sensor or a compass may be provided on the base to obtain the attitude of the base.

When the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, the change of the attitude of the base will not change the attitude of the first gimbal. Therefore, when the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, the attitude of the base The determination of the attitude of the gimbal has no reference. Therefore, when the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, the base attitude of the base is not a factor that can be considered in determining the attitude of the first gimbal.

Therefore, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the attitude of the base can be used for attitude determination processing, and when the gravity of the first pan/tilt does not act on the base, the attitude of the base cannot be used for attitude determination. In one embodiment, in step 52, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the attitude of the first pan/tilt is determined according to the posture of the base; when the gravity of the first pan/tilt does not act on the base, the Base attitude determines the attitude of the first gimbal.

Exemplarily, the first pan/tilt is provided with an attitude sensor, and step 52 may specifically include: when determining that the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, according to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the base attitude of the base, determine The attitude of the first pan-tilt; and/or, when it is determined that the gravity of the first pan-tilt does not act on the base, determine the attitude of the first pan-tilt according to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor.

Optionally, determining the attitude of the first pan/tilt according to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor may specifically include: taking the attitude corresponding to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor as the attitude of the first pan/tilt. According to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the base attitude of the base, determining the attitude of the first pan-tilt may specifically include: fusing the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the base attitude of the base to obtain the attitude of the first pan-tilt attitude. Exemplarily, the posture corresponding to the posture information may be corrected using the posture of the base to obtain the posture of the first gimbal. By determining the attitude of the first gimbal according to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the attitude of the base, the drift in the yaw direction can be reduced, and the accuracy of determining the attitude of the first gimbal can be improved. It should be noted that, for the specific manner of obtaining the gimbal attitude by fusing the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the attitude of the base, please refer to the content in the related art, and will not repeat them here.

Or, optionally, when determining the attitude of the first gimbal, the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal may also be fused, so as to further improve the accuracy of determining the attitude of the first gimbal.

Based on this, according to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the base attitude of the base, the attitude of the first cloud platform is determined, which may specifically include: fusing the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor, the base attitude of the base, and the first cloud platform. The yaw axis joint angle of the platform is used to obtain the attitude of the first gimbal. Exemplarily, the posture corresponding to the posture information may be corrected by using the posture of the base and the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal to obtain the posture of the first gimbal. It should be noted that, the specific manner of obtaining the attitude of the gimbal by fusing the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor, the attitude of the base, and the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal can refer to the content in related technologies, and will not be repeated here.

Determining the attitude of the first gimbal according to the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor may specifically include: fusing the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal to obtain the attitude of the first gimbal. Exemplarily, the attitude corresponding to the attitude information may be corrected by using the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal to obtain the attitude of the first gimbal. It should be noted that the specific manner of obtaining the attitude of the gimbal by fusing the attitude information collected by the attitude sensor and the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal can refer to the content in related technologies, and will not be repeated here.

Wherein, the attitude sensor may include an angular velocity sensor, or an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor.

In the case where the attitude sensor includes an angular velocity sensor, when it is determined that the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base, for example, the angular velocity information collected by the angular velocity sensor, the base attitude of the base, and the yaw axis of the first gimbal can be fused joint angle to obtain the attitude of the first gimbal; when it is determined that the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, for example, the angular velocity information collected by the angular velocity sensor and the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal can be fused, Obtain the attitude of the first gimbal.

In the case where the attitude sensor includes an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, when it is determined that the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, for example, the acceleration information collected by the acceleration sensor, the angular velocity information collected by the angular velocity sensor, and the basis of the base can be fused. seat attitude and the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal to obtain the attitude of the first gimbal; when it is determined that the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, for example, the acceleration information collected by the acceleration sensor can be fused, The attitude of the first gimbal is obtained from the angular velocity information collected by the angular velocity sensor and the yaw axis joint angle of the first gimbal. In this case, the attitude sensor may specifically be an IMU.

The pan-tilt system processing method provided in this embodiment, by determining whether the gravity of the first pan-tilt in the pan-tilt system acts on the base, adopts a processing method corresponding to the determination result, and performs attitude determination processing for the first pan-tilt to realize A processing method corresponding to the determination result of whether the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base is used to determine the attitude of the first gimbal. Since the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base and does not act on the base, In this case, the factors that can be considered for the attitude determination process of the first gimbal can be different, so it is realized that the attitude determination process for the first gimbal is performed using a processing method corresponding to the factors that can be considered in the current product form, so that for the first gimbal The processing of a cloud platform is more appropriate, which is conducive to improving user experience.

Fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a pan/tilt system control method provided by another embodiment of the present application. On the basis of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, this embodiment mainly describes the adoption and determination of the first pan/tilt in the following mode. The processing method corresponding to the result is another optional implementation method for target processing of the first PTZ. As shown in Figure 5, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step 51, determining whether the gravity of the first platform in the platform system acts on the base, wherein the base is used to carry the first platform, the first platform is used to carry the shooting device and Drive the shooting device to rotate.

It should be noted that step 51 is similar to step 31 and step 41 and will not be repeated here.

Step 52: Perform follow-up control processing for the first pan/tilt in a processing manner corresponding to the determination result.

In this step, the specific processing method for the following control processing of the first pan/tilt is affected by whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base or not. That is, when the gravity of the first pan-tilt acts on the base, the specific processing method of performing the following determination processing for the first pan-tilt is the same as performing the following determination process for the first pan-tilt when the gravity of the first pan-tilt does not act on the base. The specific processing methods of follow-up processing are different.

Wherein, when the first pan/tilt is in the following mode, following control processing may be performed on the first pan/tilt. Taking the first gimbal as a three-axis gimbal as an example, the following mode can specifically be that the yaw axis follows the support device, and the pitch axis and roll axis increase stability, or it can also be that the yaw axis and pitch axis follow the support device, and the roll axis increases stability. A stable mode, or a mode in which the pitch axis, yaw axis and roll axis all follow the support device.

Because when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the reaction force of the rotation motor of the first pan/tilt will act on the base, and the reaction force of the rotation of the rotation motor is too large relative to the inertia of the base, which will cause the first cloud to Therefore, when the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base, the inertia of the base can be used as a factor that can be considered in the follow-up control process for the first gimbal.

When the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, the reaction force of the rotation motor of the first gimbal will not act on the inertia of the base. Does the reaction force of the rotation motor cause the vibration of the first gimbal and the base? Therefore, when the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, the inertia of the base is not a factor that can be considered in the following control processing for the first gimbal, but the gravity of the first gimbal can be The inertia of other acting objects (that is, the predetermined platform) is used as a factor that can be considered in the follow-up control process for the first pan/tilt.

Therefore, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, a processing method corresponding to the weight of the base can be used to perform follow-up control processing; Follow-up control processing is carried out in the processing method corresponding to the weight. In one embodiment, in step 52, the control parameter used for the following control process when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base is the same as the control parameter used for the following control process when the gravity of the first pan/tilt does not act on the base. The control parameters used can vary.

Exemplarily, step 52 may specifically include the following steps A and B.

Step A: Determine the target control parameters required for follow-up control according to the determination result, wherein, when the determination result is that the gravity of the first cloud platform acts on the base, the target control parameters include the first control parameter, and when the determination result is the first cloud platform When the gravity of the table does not act on the base, the target control parameters include a second control parameter, and the first control parameter is different from the second control parameter.

Wherein, when the weight of the base is greater than the predetermined platform, the control intensity of the first control parameter can be greater than the second control parameter, that is, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the strong parameter mode can be used to control the weight of the first pan/tilt. Weak parameter mode can be used when the gravity of is not acting on the base. In this way, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the heavy base, the first pan/tilt can be moved at a relatively high speed on the basis of avoiding the shaking of the first pan/tilt caused by the excessive control intensity of the control parameters. The fast following speed follows the support equipment, and it also realizes that when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the predetermined platform with light weight, the following speed of the first pan/tilt is lost to avoid the first pan/tilt caused by the excessive control intensity of the control parameters. A gimbal shake problem.

When the weight of the base is less than the predetermined platform, the control strength of the first control parameter can be smaller than the second control parameter, that is, when the gravity of the first platform acts on the base, the weak parameter mode can be used, and the Strong parameter mode can be used when gravity is not acting on the base. Thus, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the lighter base, the following speed of the first pan/tilt is lost to avoid the shaking of the first pan/tilt due to the excessive control intensity of the control parameters. It is realized that when the gravity of the first pan-tilt acts on the heavier predetermined platform, the first pan-tilt can be moved at a faster speed on the basis of avoiding the shaking of the first pan-tilt caused by the excessive control intensity of the control parameters. The follow speed follows the support device.

Step B, based on the target control parameter, determine the motor control amount, the motor control amount is used to control the rotation of the corresponding rotating motor in the first pan/tilt.

Wherein, the target control parameter may be a parameter in a proportional-integral-derivative (referred to as PID) control system, and the PID control system is a closed-loop control system.

Optionally, the first control parameter and the second control parameter may be control parameters used in the PID control system to perform follow-up control processing in a speed closed-loop manner. Based on this, step B may specifically include: determining the motor control amount according to the rotational speed difference between the first pan-tilt and its supporting device and the target control parameter.

Specifically, when it is determined that the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the motor control amount can be determined according to the rotational speed difference between the first pan/tilt and its supporting device and the first control parameter, for example, the first The product of the rotation speed difference between the pan-tilt and its supporting equipment and the first control parameter is used as the motor control amount; when the result of determination is that the gravity of the first pan-tilt does not act on the base, the The rotation speed difference between them and the second control parameter determine the motor control amount, for example, the product of the rotation speed difference between the first pan-tilt and its supporting device and the second control parameter can be used as the motor control amount.

It can be understood that, when the following mode is a mode in which the yaw axis follows the support device, and the pitch axis and the roll axis are stabilized, the rotation speed difference may specifically be the rotation speed difference between the first gimbal and its support device around the yaw axis. Correspondingly, the motor control amount can specifically be used to control the rotation of the rotation motor of the yaw axis in the first pan/tilt.

When the following mode is a mode in which the yaw axis and the pitch axis follow the support device and the roll axis stabilizes, the rotation speed difference can specifically be the rotation speed difference between the first gimbal and its support device around the yaw axis, the first gimbal and its support device. The difference in rotation speed around the pitch axis between the support devices, and the motor control amount can specifically be used to control the rotation of the pitch axis rotation motor in the first gimbal.

When the following mode is a mode in which the pitch axis, yaw axis and roll axis all follow, the difference in rotation speed may specifically include the difference in the rotation speed of the pitch axis between the first gimbal and its supporting device around the pitch axis, and the difference between the first gimbal and its support device. The difference in the rotation speed of the yaw axis between the devices rotating around the yaw axis, and the difference in the rotation speed of the roll axis between the first pan-tilt and its supporting equipment around the roll axis. Correspondingly, the motor control amount may specifically include a pitch axis motor control amount for controlling the rotation of a pitch axis motor in the first gimbal, a yaw axis motor control amount for controlling the rotation of a yaw axis rotation motor in the first gimbal, and , is used to control the roll axis motor control amount of the roll axis rotation motor in the first gimbal.

Optionally, in the PID control system, a position closed-loop manner may also be used to perform follow-up control processing. In this case, the target control parameters may further include a third control parameter, and the third control parameter is a control parameter for performing follow-up control processing in a position closed-loop manner in the PID control system. Based on this, step B may specifically include: determining the first calculation result according to the rotational speed difference between the first pan-tilt and its supporting device and the target control parameter; according to the rotational angle difference between the first pan-tilt and its supporting device and the first Three control parameters, determining the second calculation result; and determining the motor control amount according to the first calculation result and the second calculation result.

Specifically, when it is determined that the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the first calculation result may be determined according to the rotational speed difference between the first pan/tilt and its supporting device and the first control parameter, and the first calculation result may be determined according to the first cloud/tilt The rotation angle difference between the platform and the support device and the third control parameter determine the second calculation result, and determine the motor control amount according to the first calculation result and the second calculation result; base, the first calculation result can be determined according to the rotation speed difference between the first pan-tilt and its supporting equipment and the second control parameter, and the first calculation result can be determined according to the rotation angle difference between the first pan-tilt and the supporting equipment and the third control parameter The second calculation result is determined, and the motor control variable is determined according to the first calculation result and the second calculation result.

Wherein, according to the rotational speed difference between the first pan-tilt and its supporting equipment and the target control parameter, the first calculation result is determined, for example, the product of the rotational speed difference between the first pan-tilt and its supporting equipment and the target control parameter , as the first calculation result. Of course, in other embodiments, the first calculation result may also be determined in other ways, which is not limited in the present application.

According to the rotation angle difference between the first pan-tilt and its support equipment and the third control parameter, determine the second calculation result, for example, the product of the rotation angle difference between the first pan-tilt and its support equipment and the third control parameter , as the second calculation result. Of course, in other embodiments, the second calculation result may also be determined in other ways, which is not limited in the present application.

According to the first calculation result and the second calculation result, the motor control amount is determined, for example, the sum of the first calculation result and the second calculation result may be used as the motor control amount. Certainly, in other embodiments, the motor control amount may also be determined in other ways, which is not limited in this application.

The pan-tilt system processing method provided in this embodiment, by determining whether the gravity of the first pan-tilt in the pan-tilt system acts on the base, adopts a processing method corresponding to the determination result, and performs follow-up control processing for the first pan-tilt to realize The follow-up control processing for the first gimbal is performed in a processing manner corresponding to the determination result of whether the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base, because the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base and does not act on the base In this case, the factors that can be considered in the following control processing for the first gimbal can be different, so it is realized that the processing method corresponding to the factors that can be considered in the current product form is used to perform the following control processing on the first gimbal, so that for the first gimbal The processing of a cloud platform is more appropriate, which is conducive to improving user experience.

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of the control method of the pan/tilt system provided by another embodiment of the present application. On the basis of the previous embodiments of this embodiment, it mainly describes an optional implementation in the case where the pan/tilt system also includes a base Way. As shown in Figure 6, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step 61, determine whether the gravity of the first platform in the platform system acts on the base, wherein the base is used to carry the first platform, the first platform is used to carry the shooting device and Drive the shooting device to rotate.

It should be noted that step 61 is similar to step 31 and step 41 and will not be repeated here.

Step 62: Perform target processing on the first pan/tilt by using a processing manner corresponding to the determination result.

It should be noted that step 62 is similar to step 32, step 42, and step 52, and will not be repeated here.

Step 63: Perform function control processing on the base using a processing manner corresponding to the determination result.

In this step, the specific processing method for the function control processing of the base may be affected by whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base or not. That is, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the specific processing method of performing the function control processing on the base is the same as the specific processing method of performing the function control processing on the base when the gravity of the first pan/tilt does not act on the base. The specific processing methods are different.

Since the first gimbal has a strong correlation with the first gimbal when the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base, when the user uses the shooting device mounted on the first gimbal to take pictures, the It is also more convenient to provide functions, so the base can provide more functions to the user.

When the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, the correlation between the base and the first gimbal is weak. It is also inconvenient to provide functions, so the base can provide fewer functions to the user.

Therefore, when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, the base can be controlled to provide more functions to the user; when the gravity of the first pan/tilt does not act on the base, the base can be controlled to provide less functions to the user. function. In one embodiment, the function provided by the function control process when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base may be the function provided by the function control process when the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base. Subset.

Exemplarily, step 63 may specifically include: when it is determined that the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base, controlling the base to be in the first working mode; and/or, when determining that the gravity of the first pan/tilt does not act on the base , the control base is in the second working mode, and the functions provided by the base in the second working mode are a subset of the functions provided by the base in the first working mode.

Optionally, in the case where the pan/tilt system further includes a second pan/tilt carried on the base and used to drive the first pan/tilt to move in the translational direction, the functions provided by the base in the first working mode may include For the first function related to the pan/tilt, the functions provided by the base in the second working mode may not include the first function. Exemplarily, the first function may be closed or dormant in the second working mode. Since the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base, the function provided by the second gimbal to drive the first gimbal to move in the translational direction is invalid, so the second working mode does not include the second gimbal The first function related to the platform can avoid the problem caused by the base also controlling and processing the functions related to the second platform when the functions provided by the second platform are invalid, which is conducive to improving user experience.

Wherein, the first function can be flexibly implemented according to control requirements. Exemplarily, the first function may include: a switching function for the working state of the carrying component in the second pan/tilt, the carrying component is used to carry the first pan/tilt, and the working state of the carrying component includes a stowed state and an unfolded state; and/or, For the working mode switching function of the second pan-tilt, the working mode of the second pan-tilt includes a following mode (that is, the second pan-tilt is used to follow the motion of the base in a translation direction) and a stabilization mode (that is, the second pan-tilt The gimbal is used to achieve load stabilization in a translational direction). It should be noted that, when the working state of the carrying component is the retracted state, the carrying component cannot drive the first cloud platform to move in the translational direction; when the working state of the carrying component is the expanded state, the carrying component can drive the first cloud platform The stage moves in the translational direction. For example, in the product form shown in FIG. 2B , the base can provide a working state switching function for the bearing components in the second pan/tilt, and/or a working mode switching function for the second pan/tilt.

Further optionally, the functions provided by the base in the first working mode may also include a second function unrelated to the second pan/tilt, thereby expanding the range of functions of the base and improving user experience. The second function can also be flexibly implemented according to control requirements. Exemplarily, the second function may include one or more of the following: the start-stop control function for the shooting device, the rotation control function for the first pan/tilt, or the control function for the content captured by the shooting device Codec function.

Among them, the start-up control function for the photographing device enables the user to use the base to control the start and end of photographing of the photographing device, which is convenient for users. The rotation control function for the first pan-tilt enables the user to use the base to control the rotation of the first pan-tilt, which is convenient for the user. For the codec function of the content shot by the shooting device, the first gimbal does not need to perform codec processing, so that the first gimbal can send the high-definition raw data collected by the shooting device to the base, which can improve the shooting effect . For example, in the product form shown in Figure 2B, the base can also provide the start-stop control function for the camera device, the rotation control function for the first pan/tilt, or the codec for the content captured by the camera device. One or more of the functions.

Optionally, when the predetermined platform can be used as the support device of the first pan/tilt and the predetermined platform is communicatively connected to the base, the functions provided by the base in the second working mode may include the second function; wherein, the predetermined platform and the base Seat separation setting. That is, even if the base is separated from the first pan/tilt, the base can still provide a second function unrelated to the second pan/tilt. For example, in the product form shown in Figure 2C, the base can provide the start-stop control function for the camera device, the rotation control function for the first pan/tilt, or the codec function for the content captured by the camera device one or more of the .

It should be noted that, the execution sequence of step 62 and step 63 is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The pan-tilt system processing method provided in this embodiment, by determining whether the gravity of the first pan-tilt in the pan-tilt system acts on the base, adopts a processing method corresponding to the determination result, and performs functional control processing on the base, realizing the use of The processing method corresponding to the determination result of whether the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base performs the function control processing on the base. Since the gravity of the first pan/tilt acts on the base and does not act on the base, The factors that can be considered in the functional control of the base can be different, so the processing method corresponding to the factors that can be considered in the current product form is realized for the functional control processing of the base, making the processing of the base more appropriate and conducive to improving user experience.

FIG. 7 is a schematic flow chart of a pan/tilt system control method provided by another embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of this embodiment may be a pan/tilt system control device, specifically a processor of the pan/tilt system control device. As shown in Figure 7, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step 71, determine the coupling state of the first cloud platform and the second cloud platform in the cloud platform system, wherein the first cloud platform is used to carry the shooting device and drive the shooting device to rotate, and the second cloud platform The platform is carried on the base and is used to drive the first platform to move in the direction of translation.

In this step, the coupling state of the first platform and the second platform may include a mechanical coupling state and/or an electrical coupling state. In one embodiment, through the mechanical coupling state of the first platform and the second platform, it can be determined whether the gravity of the first platform acts on the product shape of the base, or whether the gravity of the first platform does not act on the shape of the base Product form, namely: when there is mechanical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal, it can be considered that the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base; the mechanical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal When the coupling state is that there is no mechanical coupling, it can be considered that the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base.

In another embodiment, in practical applications, if the first platform and the second platform are electrically coupled by directly plugging the electrical connection end of the first platform with the electrical connection terminal adapted to the second platform , that is, when there is electrical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal, the gravity of the first gimbal will act on the base; when there is no electrical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal, the gravity of the first gimbal If it does not act on the base, it can also be determined through the electrical coupling state of the first gimbal and the second gimbal whether the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the product form of the base, or whether the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the product form of the base. The product form of the base, that is: when the electrical coupling state between the first gimbal and the second gimbal is electric coupling, the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base; When the electrical coupling state is no electrical coupling, the gravity of the first gimbal does not act on the base.

In practical applications, for the product form in which the base needs to control the first gimbal and its load through the second gimbal, by determining the electrical coupling state of the first gimbal and the second gimbal, it is also possible to determine the Whether the control of the first pan-tilt and the load it carries can be actually realized. It should be noted that, for a product in which the base can communicate with a predetermined platform in a split form, even if there is no electrical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal, the base can communicate with the predetermined platform The connection controls the first pan-tilt and the load it carries.

In this step, it may be determined whether there is a mechanical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal in the gimbal system in a manner similar to that of determining whether the gravity of the first gimbal acts on the base. Exemplarily, it may be determined whether the supporting device currently carrying the first pan/tilt is a predetermined platform, and the predetermined platform is different from the base. Wherein, the supporting device currently carrying the first platform is a predetermined platform, indicating that there is no mechanical coupling between the first platform and the second platform; the supporting device currently carrying the first platform is not a predetermined platform, indicating that the first platform and the second The gimbal is mechanically coupled.

Exemplarily, in the case where the first PTZ and the second PTZ are electrically coupled by means of an electrical connection, it may be determined whether the electrical connection end of the first PTZ is electrically connected to the electrical connection end adapted to the second PTZ The manner of determining the electrical coupling state of the first gimbal and the second gimbal. For example, in Fig. 2B, the second pan-tilt 13 may be provided with a hardware circuit for detecting whether the electrical connection end of the first pan-tilt 11 is inserted into the electrical connection end adapted to the second pan-tilt 13, and determine the first according to the output of the hardware circuit. The electrical coupling status of the gimbal and the second gimbal. Wherein, the electrical connection end of the first gimbal is inserted into the electrical connection end of the second gimbal adapter, indicating that there is electrical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal, and the electrical connection end of the first gimbal is not inserted into the second gimbal adapter. The provided electrical connection means that there is no electrical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal.

Or, as an example, in the case where the first and second PTZs are electrically coupled by means of electromagnetic induction, the electromagnetic intensity sensed by the electromagnetic induction end of the second PTZ can be used to determine the first and second PTZs. The electrical coupling status of the second gimbal. For example, in Fig. 2B, the second cloud platform 13 can be provided with a hardware circuit for detecting the electromagnetic intensity induced by the electromagnetic induction end of the first cloud platform 11, and determine the first cloud platform and the second cloud platform according to the output of the hardware circuit state of electrical coupling. Wherein, the induced electromagnetic intensity is greater than the preset electromagnetic intensity, indicating that there is electrical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal, and the induced electromagnetic intensity is less than the preset electromagnetic intensity, indicating that there is no electrical coupling between the first gimbal and the second gimbal. .

It should be noted that the specific manner of determining the electrical coupling state of the first PTZ and the second PTZ can be implemented flexibly.

For products where the base needs to control the first gimbal and its load through the second gimbal, when the coupling state includes the electrical coupling state, the functions provided by the base in the first working mode may include controlling the first gimbal The third function of controlling the load and its load, the functions provided by the base in the second working mode may not include the third function. In addition, when the control base is in the second working mode, if the user's control command for the first pan/tilt or its load is obtained, a prompt message for prompting that the command cannot take effect can also be output to the user, which is beneficial to improve user experience.
