具体实施方式
以下结合附图对本公开的具体实施方式进行详细说明。应当理解的是,此处所描述的具体实施方式仅用于说明和解释本公开,并不用于限制本公开。
需要说明的是,本公开中所有获取信号、信息或数据的动作都是在遵照所在地国家相应的数据保护法规政策的前提下,并获得由相应装置所有者给予授权的情况下进行的。
在下文中的描述中,“第一”、“第二”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
首先,对本公开的应用场景进行说明。目前,无人机在降落过程中可以依靠GNSS或者视觉系统进行定位,GNSS的定位精度比较低,而视觉定位虽然定位精度比较高,但是容易受到不良天气的影响。相关技术中,通过传感器辅助无人机进行精准定位,例如,基于三坐标雷达的引导定位系统能够准确测量无人机的三维位置,但是,三维雷达的价格比较高,导致无人机的整体成本比较高,不适用于配送等场景。并且,三维雷达在使用一段时间后需要进行复杂的误差校准和位姿估计,影响无人机的运行效率。
本公开提供一种无人机控制方法、装置、存储介质及电子设备,用于解决相关技术中存在的问题。根据无人机与降落点之间传输的电磁波信号,确定无人机飞行过程中多个位置的多普勒频率值,根据多个多普勒频率值确定目标降落位置,并控制无人机从该目标降落位置降落,实现了无人机的精准降落。
下面结合具体实施例对本公开进行说明。
图1是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的一种无人机控制方法的流程图,如图1所示,该方法可以包括:
S101、通过信号接收装置接收信号发射装置周期性发射的电磁波信号。
其中,该电磁波信号可以是单频正弦波,也可以是步进频连续波,还可以是调频连续波,本公开对该电磁波信号的具体类型不作限定。该信号接收装置可以位于无人机,对应的,该接收信号发射装置位于目标降落位置的下方位置。目标降落位置可以是指空中的任意位置,无人机能够飞行至该目标降落位置。示例地,该信号发射装置可以放置在地面端停机坪的中心,用于向空中辐射该电磁波信号,该信号接收装置可以位于该无人机的中心。或者,该信号发射装置和该信号接收装置也可以互换位置,即该信号发射装置可以位于该无人机,对应 的,该接收信号接收装置位于该目标降落位置的下方位置。示例地,该信号发射装置位于该无人机的中心,该信号接收装置放置在地面端停机坪的中心。
若该信号接收装置位于无人机的中心,则在该信号接收装置确定相关的控制信息(比如根据接收的电磁波信号确定)后,直接按照控制信息对无人机进行控制即可。示例地,该控制信息用于控制无人机从目标降落位置降落。或者,若该信号接收装置放置在地面停机坪的中心,则在该信号接收装置确定相关的控制信息后,需要将该控制信息再发送至该无人机,对该无人机进行控制。本公开以该信号发射装置放置在地面端停机坪的中心,该信号接收装置位于该无人机的中心为例进行说明。
需要说明的是,该信号发射装置可以是单辐射源或者信号转发器,在该信号发射装置为单辐射源的情况下,该信号接收装置可以是射频接收机,该单辐射源可以发射电磁波信号,该射频接收机可以接收单辐射源发射的电磁波信号。或者,在该信号发射装置为信号转发器的情况下,该信号接收装置可以是雷达模块,由于雷达模块利用的是回波,因而该雷达模块可以发射电磁波信号,该信号转发器接收到该电磁波信号后,可以转发该电磁波信号,该雷达模块可以接收该信号转发器转发的电磁波信号。
在本步骤中,该信号发射装置可以持续发射该电磁波信号,该无人机在确定需要降落时,可以以接近地面的定高模式匀速向接近该信号发射装置的方向直线飞行,并通过该信号接收装置接收该信号发射装置发射的电磁波信号。此处的定高模式、均速和直线飞行仅为举例,根据实际需求的不同,无人机也可以采用其他飞行模式、变速或者非直线飞行的方式。
S102、根据该电磁波信号确定无人机当前所处位置的多普勒频率值。
需要说明的是,该当前所处位置为该无人机接收到电磁波信号时的位置,在该无人机飞行过程中,该当前所处位置也一直在变化。示例地,若该无人机飞行至位置X时接收到该电磁波信号,则位置X为该当前所处位置;若该无人机从位置X飞行至位置Y时,又接收到该电磁波信号,则位置Y为该当前所处位置。
在本步骤中,在该无人机的信号接收装置每次接收到该电磁波信号后,可以对该电磁波信号进行调制解调处理,得到该无人机当前所处位置的多普勒相位值,再根据该多普勒相位值,通过短时傅里叶变换确定该无人机当前所处位置的多普勒频率值。
S103、根据该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值,控制该无人机按照目标飞行路径飞行至目标位置。
其中,该目标飞行路径包括该无人机的当前飞行方向对应的飞行路径和与该当前飞行方向构成正交关系的目标飞行方向对应的飞行路径。也就是说,该目标飞行路径包括无人机的当前飞行方向和目标飞行方向各自对应的飞行路径,目标飞行方向与当前飞行方向构成正交关系。
在本步骤中,可以按照该无人机的当前飞行方向匀速直线飞行,在确定该多普勒频率值与预设频率阈值的差值小于或等于预设差值阈值的情况下,控制该无人机再继续飞行第一预设飞行距离。其中,无人机继续飞行第一预设飞行距离所形成的路径,即为上述无人机的当前飞行方向对应的飞行路径。根据该当前飞行方向确定该目标飞行方向,并按照该目标飞行方向继续飞行,在确定该多普勒频率值与预设频率阈值的差值小于或等于预设差值阈值的情况下,再继续飞行第二预设飞行距离,到达该目标位置。无人机继续飞行第二预设飞行距离所形成的路径,即为上述无人机的目标飞行方向对应的飞行路径。
其中,该预设频率阈值可以是0,也可以是接近0的值,该预设差值阈值可以是0,该第一预设飞行距离和该第二预设飞行距离可以根据该无人机的飞行高度预先设置,该第一预设飞行距离与该第二预设飞行距离可以相同,也可以不同,本公开对此不作限定。另外,预设仅为频率阈值的一种示例的获得方式,频率阈值也可以通过其他的获得方式获得,因而预设频率阈值也可以称为频率阈值。相应地,预设差值阈值也可以称为差值阈值,第一预设飞行距离也可以称为第一飞行距离,第二预设飞行距离也可以称为第二飞行距离。
S104、根据该无人机在该目标飞行路径中确定的多个多普勒频率值,确定该无人机对应的目标降落位置。
其中,该目标降落位置的下方为该信号发射装置或者该信号接收装置所处的位置。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在该无人机到达该目标位置后,可以获取该无人机存储的每个多普勒频率值,基于多个多普勒频率值和多个多普勒频率值对应的位置,通过二维曲线拟合,确定该目标降落位置。示例地,可以通过二维曲线拟合方法,对多个多普勒频率值进行拟合。示例地,确定多普勒频率值为0的目标降落位置,或者,多普勒频率值小于参考阈值的目标降落位置,本公开不对该参考阈值进行限定。
并且,通过二维曲线拟合还可以确定该无人机当前所处的目标位置与该目标降落位置的相对位置关系,以及该无人机距离该信号发射装置的目标高度。
示例地,图2是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的一种无人机降落系统示意图,如图2所示,该无人机降落系统包括信号发射装置和无人机,x轴正方向水平向东,y轴正方向水平向北,z轴正方向垂直向上,在无人机按照高度H(即上述的目标高度)飞行时,无人机与信号发射装置(在图2中示为地面转发器)之间的斜距为R。无人机与信号发射装置的相对位置可以通过以下的公式(1)计算得到:
其中,R(t)表示t时刻无人机与信号发射装置的相对位置,(xU(t),yU(t),H)为无人机在t时刻的位置,表示t时刻无人机在z=H等高平面上的极轴长度(可以体现上述说明的目标位置与目标降落位置的相对位置关系)。若信号发射装置发射单频正弦电磁波,信号频率为fc,光速为c,则电磁波的波长λc=c/fc,根据雷达探测原理,可以得到无人机在不同时刻观测到的多普勒相位值为以下的公式(2):
其中,φdopp(t)为无人机在t时刻的多普勒相位值。
多普勒频率值可以由多普勒相位值求导得到,从公式(2)可以看出,当无人机接近(0,0,H)时,多普勒频率值为正,当无人机远离(0,0,H)时,多普勒频率值为负,当无人机位于信号发射装置的正上方(0,0,H)时,无人机向任何方向飞行时多普勒频率值均为0。
基于上述说明,以该高度H为120米为例,图3是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的一种斜距热力图,图4是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的一种多普勒相位热力图,如图3和图4所示,信号发射装置正上方所在的位置(0,0,H)的多普勒频率值为0。
根据公式(1)和公式(2)可以看出,多普勒相位值φdopp(t)与斜距R为正比关系,该正比关系可以通过双曲线表示,本公开可以基于多个多普勒频率值,对该双曲线模型进行拟合处理,确定该目标降落位置和该目标高度。
S105、控制该无人机从该目标降落位置降落。
在本步骤中,在确定该目标降落位置后,可以根据该无人机当前所处的目标位置与该目标降落位置的相对位置关系,控制该无人机从该目标位置飞行至该目标降落位置,并根据该目标高度控制该无人机从该目标降落位置降落。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在确定该无人机通过定高模式匀速飞行至预设降落区域后,通过该信号接收装置接收该信号发射装置周期性发射的电磁波信号,其中,该预设降落区域包括目标飞行路径。示例地,该预设降落区域可以是以该地面停机坪为中心的预设区域,该预设区域可以是矩形,也可以是圆形,本公开对此不作限定。当然,预设仅为降落区域的一种示例的获得方式,降落区域也可以通过其他的获得方式获得,因而预设降落区域也可以称为降落区域。
采用上述方法,根据无人机与降落点之间传输的电磁波信号,确定无人机飞行过程中多个位置的多普勒频率值,根据多个多普勒频率值确定目标降落位置,并控制无人机从该目标降落位置降落,实现了无人机的精准降落。并且,该无人机在整个降落过程中无需通信链路的参与,节约了无人机的成本。进一步地,在该信号发射装置为信号转发器的情况下,该信号转发器在转发电磁波信号时能够对电磁波信号进行放大,增加了无人机的控制范围。
图5是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的另一种无人机控制方法的流程图,如图5所示,步骤S103的实现方式可以包括:
S1031、根据该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值确定第一位置和第二位置。
S1032、控制该无人机按照该当前飞行方向,从该第一位置飞行至该第二位置。
S1033、根据该当前飞行方向确定该目标飞行方向。
S1034、控制该无人机按照该目标飞行方向,从该第二位置飞行至该目标位置。
示例地,在该无人机飞行过程中,该信号接收装置每次根据该电磁波信号确定该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值后,可以将该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值与该预设频率阈值进行对比,若该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值与该预设频率阈值的差值小于或等于预设差值阈值的位置,则将该当前所处位置作为该第一位置。或者说,本申请实施例中可以确定第一位置,在当前所处位置为第一位置时,当前所处位置的多普勒频率值与频率阈值的差值小于或等于差值阈值。在确定第一位置之后,根据该第一位置、该当前飞行方向以及第一预设飞行距离,确定该第二位置。
例如,若该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值为0,则将该当前所处位置作为该第一位置。该第一预设飞行距离可以根据该无人机当前飞行的高度,通过预先设置的距离关联关系确定,该距离关联关系可以包括不同的高度与飞行距离之间的对应关系。
在确定该第一位置后,可以控制该无人机继续按照该当前飞行方向飞行该第一预设飞行距离,到达该第二位置。之后,可以根据该当前飞行方向,确定第一飞行方向,该第一飞行方向为与该当前飞行方向构成正交关系的任一方向;控制该无人机按照该第一飞行方向,从该第二位置飞行预设时长;根据多个第一多普勒频率值和该第一飞行方向,确定该目标飞行方向,其中,多个第一多普勒频率值在预设时长的飞行过程中确定。
其中,本申请实施例也可以控制该无人机按照该第一飞行方向,从该第二位置飞行参考时长。通过预设得到的参考时长即为上述的预设时长,该参考时长也可以通过预设之外的其他方式得到。相应地,多个第一多普勒频率值在参考时长的飞行过程中确定。
示例地,在该无人机在该预设时长内飞行过程中,可以存储每次确定的多普勒频率值, 在飞行该预设时长后,可以获取存储的该无人机在该预设时长内飞行时的多个第一多普勒频率值,并据多个第一多普勒频率值和该第一飞行方向,确定该目标飞行方向。该预设时长可以根据经验预先设置,示例地,该预设时长可以是100ms。
需要说明的是,该预设时长也可以是预设距离,例如,控制该无人机按照该第一飞行方向,从该第二位置飞行预设距离,本公开对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在确定该多个第一多普勒频率值均大于或等于该预设频率阈值的情况下,将该第一飞行方向作为该目标飞行方向;或者,在确定该多个第一多普勒频率值均小于该预设频率阈值的情况下,将第二飞行方向作为该目标飞行方向,该第二飞行方向与该第一飞行方向相反。
示例地,在该无人机到达该第二位置后,可以根据该无人机的当前飞行方向,从与该当前飞行方向构成正交关系的两个方向中,任选一个方向作为该第一飞行方向。获取该预设时长,并控制该无人机按照该第一飞行方向飞行该预设时长。在该无人机按照该第一飞行方向飞行过程中,该无人机的信号接收装置根据接收到的电磁波信号确定该多普勒频率值,在该无人机完成该预设时长的飞行后,可以获取该预设时长内飞行时的多个第一多普勒频率值。以该预设频率阈值为0为例,若该多个第一多普勒频率值均大于或等于0,则表示该第一飞行方向指向该信号发射装置,可以将该第一飞行方向作为该目标飞行方向,并控制该无人机继续按照该目标飞行方向飞行,直至该无人机到达该目标位置。若确定多个第一多普勒频率值均小于0,则表示该无人机向远离该信号发射装置的方向飞行,在这种情况下,可以根据该第一飞行方向确定该第二飞行方向,将该第二飞行方向作为该目标飞行方向,并控制该无人机按照该目标飞行方向,从该当前位置开始飞行,直至飞行至该目标位置。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在该无人机进入该预设降落区域后,可以先获取存储的多个多普勒频率值,在确定每个该多普勒频率值均大于或等于该预设频率阈值的情况下,根据该多普勒频率值确定该第一位置和该第二位置。示例地,在确定获取的多个多普勒频率值均大于0的情况下,表示该无人机向接近该信号发射装置的方向飞行,在这种情况下,可以控制该无人机继续按照当前飞行方向飞行。在确定获取的多个多普勒频率值均小于0的情况下,表示该无人机向远离该信号发射装置的方向飞行,在这种情况下,可以控制该无人机按照当前飞行方向的反方向飞行。在确定该无人机向接近该信号发射装置的方向飞行的情况下,根据该多普勒频率值确定该第一位置和该第二位置。
图6是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的另一种无人机控制方法的流程图,如图6所示,步骤S103的实现方式还可以包括:
S1035、在该目标飞行方向上确定第三位置。
其中,该第三位置的多普勒频率值与该预设频率阈值的差值小于或等于该预设差值阈值。
示例地,在该无人机在该目标飞行方向上飞行过程中,每次确定该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值后,可以将该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值与该预设频率阈值进行对比,若该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值与该预设频率阈值的差值小于或等于该预设差值阈值,则将该当前所处位置作为该第三位置。
S1036、根据该第三位置和该目标飞行方向,确定该目标位置。
S1037、控制该无人机按照该目标飞行方向,从该第三位置飞行至该目标位置。
示例地,在该无人机按照该目标飞行方向飞行过程中,该无人机的信号接收装置根据接 收到的电磁波信号确定该多普勒频率值,以该预设频率阈值和该预设差值阈值均为0为例,若确定该多普勒频率值为0,则可以将该多普勒频率值为0的位置所为该第三位置。在确定该第三位置后,可以获取第二预设距离(也称为第二预设飞行距离,或者第二飞行距离),并控制该无人机按照该目标飞行方向,从该第三位置继续飞行该第二预设距离,到达该目标位置。其中,该第二预设距离的确定方式可以参考该第一预设距离(也称为第一预设飞行距离,或者第一飞行距离)的确定方式,此处不再赘述,该第二预设距离可以与该第一预设距离相同,也可以与该第一预设距离不同,本公开对此不作限定。
图7是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的另一种无人机控制方法的流程图,如图7所示,该方法以该信号发射装置为放置在地面停机坪的信号转发器、该预设频率阈值为0为例,该方法应用于无人机,可以包括:
S701、通过信号接收装置接收该地面转发器转发的电磁波信号。
S702、根据该电磁波信号确定该无人机当前所处位置的多普勒频率值。
S703、根据该当前所处位置的多普勒频率确定该无人机的当前飞行方向是否正确,若该当前飞行方向正确,则执行步骤S704,若该当前飞行方向不正确,则执行步骤S705。
S704、在确定该当前所处位置的多普勒频率值为0的情况下,继续按照该当前飞行方向飞行第一预设距离。
S705、按照该当前飞行方向的反方向飞行,执行步骤S704。
S706、根据该当前飞行方向确定第一飞行方向,并按照该第一飞行方向,从该第一目标位置开始飞行预设时长。
S707、确定该预设时长内的多普勒频率值是否恒为负,若多普勒频率值恒为负,则执行步骤S708,若多普勒频率值恒为正,则执行步骤S709。
S708、根据该第一飞行方向确定第二飞行方向(第一飞行方向的相反方向),并从当前位置开始按照该第二飞行方向飞行。
S709、按照该第一飞行方向继续飞行,在确定多普勒频率值为0的情况下,继续飞行第二预设距离。
S710、获取无人机在该预设降落区域内确定的每个多普勒频率值,并根据多个多普勒频率值确定目标降落位置和无人机距离该信号转发器的目标高度。
S711、控制该无人机根据该目标高度从该目标降落位置降落。
示例地,图8是根据本公开一示例性实施例示出的一种无人机降落引导过程示意图,如图8所示,矩形框表示该预设降落区域,O为地面停机坪的中心(信号发射装置所在位置),不同的圆周表示不同的斜距R,无人机以定高模式匀速从A点驶入该预设降落区域后,继续以当前高度和速度匀速飞行,并在飞行过程中通过信号接收模块接收地面停机坪中心的信号发射装置发射的电磁波信号,根据该电磁波信号确定该无人机当前所处位置的多普勒频率值,并存储该多普勒频率值。在确定的多个多普勒频率值均大于或等于0的情况下,可以控制该无人机继续按照当前飞行方向飞行,在确定的多个多普勒频率值均小于0的情况下,可以控制该无人机按照该当前飞行方向的反方向飞行。图8中该无人机从A点进入该预设降落区域后,由于当前飞行方向是接近该信号发射装置,因此,该无人机飞行过程中的多普勒频率值也为正。
在该无人机飞行到B点后,确定该多普勒频率值为0,控制该无人机继续按照当前飞行 方向飞行第一预设距离,到达C点。根据该无人机的当前飞行方向确定第一飞行方向,图8中该第一飞行方向可以是指向D点的方向,控制该无人机按照该第一飞行方向,从B点开始飞行预设时长(包括上文中飞行第一预设距离所花费的时长),获取该预设时长内确定的多个第一多普勒频率值,在确定该多个第一多普勒频率值均小于0的情况下,表示该无人机向远离该信号发射装置的方向飞行,在这种情况下,可以确定该第二飞行方向(该第一飞行方向的反方向),如图8中指向E的方向,控制该无人机按照该第二飞行方向,从当前位置(比如确定该第二飞行方向时无人机所处的位置)开始飞行,在确定多普勒频率值为0的情况下,可以确定该无人机到达E点。
控制该无人机从E点开始继续飞行第二预设距离,到达F点。获取该无人机存储的从A点到F点的多个多普勒频率值,根据多个多普勒频率值,通过二维曲线拟合方法,得到多普勒频率值为0的位置O、该无人机当前所处的F点与O点的相对位置关系(RFO′FO′)以及该无人机距离该信号发射装置的目标高度。其中,如图8所示,RFO′为F点与O点之间的距离,θFO′为DF与OF之间的角度。根据该相对位置关系,控制该无人机从F点飞行至O点,并根据该目标高度控制该无人机从O点降落。
通过上述方法,无人机仅通过信号发射装置和信号接收装置即可实现自主降落,该信号发射装置和该信号接收装置的成本比较低,降低了该无人机的运营成本,并且,在该无人机端放置信号接收装置,地面端放置该信号发射装置的情况下,该无人机端只接收信号,不发射信号,避免多架无人机之间的串扰,基于此,能够实现多架无人机同时降落,而地面端由于只发射信号,不接收信号,不会存在杂波、虚警以及多径等影响,并且,无人机可以根据接收到的电磁波信号实现自主降落,无需增加通信链路。同时,由于信号发射装置的发射功率只有单程衰减,最大作用距离更远,从而能够更好地引导无人机降落。进一步地,由于信号发射装置正上方区域的斜距变化比较小,导致多普勒频率值的变化幅度也比较小,本公开的无人机按照正交飞行方向飞行过程中可以获取多个多普勒频率值,通过二维拟合的方式确定的目标降落位置更加准确,从而提高了无人机降落的准确率。
