The present disclosure relates to the field of flight technology, and more specifically, to a method, device, system and storage medium for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
In the field of flight technology, when a user controls the UAV in flight at a control terminal on the ground, the user generally controls the flight direction, flight speed, or flight attitude of UAV manually. Alternatively, a flight trajectory of the UAV can be planned in advance at the control terminal, then the flight task information indicating the flight trajectory can be transmitted to the UAV, such that the UAV can automatically fly based on the received flight task information.
However, in order to ensure that the UAV can automatically fly based on the set flight trajectory, detailed and complicated flight task information may need to be set when the user sets the flight task information on the control terminal. For example, global positioning system (GPS) information of each coordinate on the flight trajectory may need to be set in order to implement an aerial photography task. In particular, when the flight trajectory of the automatic flight is complicated or farther, complex GPS sequence information may need to be set. Moreover, if it is necessary to consider external factors such as obstacles and wind speed of the flight environment, the GPS sequence information that needs to be set may be even more complex. As such, setting an automatic flight is a complicated task, and may require professional help and take more time.
One aspect of the present disclosure provides an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method. The method includes acquiring a predetermined trajectory using a controller; and converting the predetermined trajectory into a first flight parameter using the controller and transmitting the first flight parameter to a first UAV. The first UAV is configured to fly based on the first flight parameter to generate a first flight trajectory.
Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a UAV control method. The method includes receiving a first flight parameter transmitted from a controller at a UAV, the first flight parameter corresponding to a predetermined trajectory; and controlling the UAV to fly based on the first flight parameter to generate a first flight trajectory.
Another aspect of the present disclosure provides an imaging device control method. The method includes receiving an imaging parameter from a controller for configuring the imaging device; and capturing, according to the imaging parameter, a first flight trajectory of a first UAV flying based on a first flight parameter, the first flight parameter being correspond to a predetermined trajectory.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the controller acquires the predetermined trajectory, the predetermined trajectory is converted into the first flight parameter, which is transmitted to the first UAV, such that the first UAV can fly based on the first flight parameter to generate the first flight trajectory. It can be seen that since the first flight parameter is acquired based on the predetermined trajectory of the first UAV, it is not necessary to set the flight trajectory of the first UAV by setting the coordinates of each trajectory point to realize the flight parameter acquisition method of the present disclosure, thereby reducing the complexity of setting the flight trajectory.

101, a controller acquires a predetermined trajectory.
The predetermined trajectory may include a plurality of trajectory points. The predetermined trajectory can be input by a user on the controller, for example, by the user may draw the predetermined trajectory in real time, or the predetermined trajectory can be imported into the controller in advance in the form of an email, a message push, etc. The specific method of acquiring the predetermined trajectory is not limited in the present disclosure.

102, the controller converts the predetermined trajectory into a first flight parameter.
103, the controller transmits the first flight parameter to a first UAV.
The first flight parameter may be used by the first UAV to plan a flight trajectory based on the first flight parameter, and fly based on the first flight parameter and the planned flight trajectory to generate a first flight trajectory.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the controller acquires the predetermined trajectory, the predetermined trajectory is converted into the first flight parameter, which is transmitted to the first UAV, such that the first UAV can fly based on the first flight parameter to generate the first flight trajectory. It can be seen that since the first flight parameter is acquired based on the predetermined trajectory of the first UAV, it is not necessary to set the flight trajectory of the first UAV by setting the coordinates of each trajectory point to realize the flight parameter acquisition method of the present disclosure, thereby reducing the complexity of setting the flight trajectory.
In some embodiments, the controller may be configured to further set a multi-dimensional coordinate system for the predetermined trajectory based on the predetermined trajectory, such as a three-dimensional coordinate system composed of an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis as shown in
In some embodiments, converting the predetermined trajectory into the first flight parameter using the controller may include setting a target space based on the predetermined trajectory using the controller, the predetermined trajectory is within a spatial range of the target space. Further, the controller may generate the first flight parameter based on the predetermined trajectory and the target space.
In some embodiments, the target space may be a three-dimensional body of a regular shape or a three-dimensional body of an irregular shape.
As shown in
In some embodiments, generating the light painting through the first UAV can be realized based on the planning of the predetermined trajectory of the first UAV. More specifically, when the first UAV is equipped with a light source, the first flight trajectory generated by the first UAV based on the first flight parameter and the flight trajectory may be used to generate a light painting. That is, the flight trajectory (that is, the predetermined trajectory) to be flown by the first UAV can be drawn based on a light drawing graphic.
In some embodiments, when the first UAV is equipped with the light source and flying based on the first parameter, if the light source starts to illuminate, the light source can be used to generate a light painting when the first UAV is in flight. As such, the controller acquiring the predetermined trajectory may further include using the controller to acquire a first predetermined light painting of the light source, set a painting parameter of the first predetermined light painting, and generate the predetermined trajectory based on the painting parameter. The painting parameter may include at least one of a spatial height, an orientation, or a size of the first predetermined light painting. In some embodiments, the light source may be an indicator light of the first UAV.
In some embodiments, the light painting generated by the first UAV may need to be capture by a corresponding imaging device. To acquire a more complete and undistorted image of the actually generated light painting, the controller may further set an imaging parameter of the imaging device based on the first predetermined light painting. The imaging parameter may be used by the imaging device to capture a light painting generated by the light source based on the imaging parameter set by the controller.
In some embodiments, when the first UAV is equipped with the light source, the first flight parameter may be used by the first UAV to set a control parameter of the light source, such as an illumination time, based on the first flight parameter.
In some embodiments, the imaging device can be fixed on a ground or a building, or the imaging device can be mounted on other UAVs. Regardless of whether the imaging device is fixed on the ground or mounted on other UAVs, the number of imaging devices is not limited in the present disclosure in order to acquire a complete and undistorted light painting. There may be a plurality of imaging devices. Each of the imaging devices may be responsible for a piece of the light painting of the entire light painting, and the pieces of light painting can be combined to obtain the light painting described above.
In some embodiments, when the imaging device is mounted on a second UAV, the second UAV may be set to follow the first UA while in flight. More specifically, the controller may set a second flight parameter of the second UAV based on the first predetermined light painting and transmit the second flight parameter to the second UAV, and the second flight parameter may be used by the second UAV to fly based on the second flight parameter.
In some embodiments, when the imaging device is mounted on the second UAV, the second UAV may be set to a hovering state, such that the acquired light painting can be prevented from being shaken and distorted. The specific orientation of the second UAV in the hovering state may be selected based on the flight area in which the first UAV performs the light painting, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
When the imaging device is mounted on the second UAV, the controller may perform the flight task setting and the flight task planning for the second UAV and the imaging device in the following manner.
In one embodiment, the controller may transmit the imaging parameter and the second flight parameter to the second UAV, respectively, such that the second UAV may set the imaging angle of the imaging device and a control parameter of the imaging device based on the imaging parameter, and set a flight trajectory of the second UAV based on the second flight parameter.
In another embodiment, the controller may transmit the imaging parameter to the second UAV such that the second UAV may set the second flight parameter of the second UAV based on the imaging parameter, and set the imaging angle of the imaging device and the control parameter of the imaging device.
When the imaging device is disposed on the ground, a building, or the second UAV, after the controller sets the imaging parameter of the imaging device based on the first predetermined light painting, the controller may transmit the imaging parameter to the imaging device, and the imaging parameter may be use by the imaging device to set the imaging angle of the imaging device and the control parameter of the imaging device.
In some embodiments, it may be possible to plan a flight of a plurality of UAVs such that the plurality of UAVs can cooperate to complete the flight task. In the present disclosure, the number of the first UAV may be two or more, and the first UAVs may cooperate to complete the entire flight task.
When each of the first UAVs is equipped with a light source and the predetermined trajectory of each of the first UAVs is a part of the predetermined trajectory, the controller may set a corresponding flight parameter for each of the first UAVs based on a predetermined trajectory corresponding to each of the first UAVs, and transmit the set corresponding flight parameter to each of the first UAVs, such that each of the first UAVs may set its flight trajectory based on the receive flight parameter. As such, through the cooperative flight of the plurality of first UAVs, a scene with more complicated flight trajectories and higher flight task requirements, or a scene with complicate light painting can be realized. For example, when the predetermined light painting is the phrase “”, if a first UAV is used to complete the entire flight task, in order to completely draw the “” character, the first UAV needs to perform a more complicated flight with multiple turning points. On one hand, when drawing the “” character, some strokes may be drawn repeatedly, that is, the first UAV may need to re-fly a flight trajectory that was already flown to complete the complete light painting, and it may be difficult to avoid repeated flight of some flight trajectories.
On the other hand, the first UAV may needs to control the illumination time of the light source, that is, when the stroke is terminated or needs to be crossed. For example, when the “” character in the “” is drawn, the “” and “” characters needs to be drawn across the “” character. It should be apparent that for one first UAV, to complete the correct drawing of the “” character, the illumination time of the light source needs to be controlled. For example, when the end point of the “” is drawn, the light source may be turned off, and when the first UAV flies to the beginning point of the “” character, the light source may be turned on. The same method may be used on the “” character and details will not be repeated herein again.
It should be apparent that this control method is more complicated, and the first UAV will spend more time in flight. The control method of the present disclosure can effectively complete the drawing of the light painting or the formation of a designated flight trajectory through the cooperative method of the plurality of first UAVs. Further, the plurality of UAVs may fly and draw in parallel, thereby further improving the efficiency. As shown in
When a plurality of first UAVs are in a cooperative flight, the controller may respectively transmit an operation instruction to each of the first UAVs, such that each of the first UAVs may sequentially fly based on the flight trajectory set by itself based on the received operation instruction.
Correspondingly, after each of the first UAVs completes the flight, the controller may acquire the flight trajectories of each of the first UAVs, and combine the flight trajectories of the respective first UAVs to obtain eh first flight trajectory.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first UAV may fly based on the first flight parameter converted based on the predetermined trajectory and generate the first flight trajectory. It can be seen that since the first flight parameter is acquired based on the predetermined trajectory of the first UAV, it is not necessary to set the flight trajectory of the first UAV by setting the coordinates of each trajectory point to realize the flight parameter acquisition method of the present disclosure, thereby reducing the complexity of setting the flight trajectory.
In some embodiments, the first flight parameter may be set by setting a target space based on the predetermined trajectory using the controller, and generated based on the predetermined trajectory and the target space. In particular, the predetermined trajectory may be within a spatial range of the target space.

In some embodiments, the UAV cooperates with other UAVs to perform the same flight task, that is, each of the cooperating UAV may set a predetermined trajectory. Correspondingly, the predetermined trajectory may correspond to a part of the first predetermined light painting. For example, as shown in

Further, the UAV may fly based on the second flight parameter and control the imaging device to acquire the image of the light painting generated by other UAVs equipped with the light source based on the imaging parameter.
In some embodiments, when an imaging device is disposed on the UAV, the UAV may receive the imaging parameter transmitted by the controller, set the second predetermined trajectory of the UAV based on the imaging parameter, and set the imaging angle of the imaging device and the control parameter of the imaging device. Further, the UAV may fly based on the second flight parameter and control the imaging device to acquire the image of the light painting generated by other UAVs equipped with the light source based on the imaging parameter.

302, the imaging device captures the first flight trajectory of the first UAV flying based on the first flight parameter based on the imaging parameter, where the first flight parameter is acquired by converting the predetermined trajectory.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the first flight trajectory acquired by the imaging device is generated by the first UAV based on the first flight parameter by converting the predetermined trajectory, when the imaging device captures the first flight trajectory based on the imaging parameter, the controller does not need to set the flight trajectory of the first UAV by setting the coordinates of each trajectory point to realize the flight parameter acquisition method of the present disclosure, thereby reducing the complexity of setting the flight trajectory.
In some embodiments, when the first UAV is equipped with the light source, the imaging device may further generate a light painting based on the acquired first flight trajectory.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the controller acquires the predetermined trajectory, the predetermined trajectory is converted into the first flight parameter, which is transmitted to the first UAV, such that the first UAV can fly based on the first flight parameter to generate the first flight trajectory. The imaging device disposed on the second UAV acquires the first flight trajectory generated by the first UAV and generates the light painting. It can be seen that since the first flight parameter is acquired based on the predetermined trajectory of the first UAV, it is not necessary to set the flight trajectory of the first UAV by setting the coordinates of each trajectory point to realize the flight parameter acquisition method of the present disclosure, thereby reducing the complexity of setting the flight trajectory.
