Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, FIG. 1 shows an aircraft system 100 according to the present disclosure, wherein the aircraft system includes an aerial vehicle 10 and a terminal device 20 communicatively connected to the aerial vehicle 10.


Herein, the terminal device 20 includes, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a computer, and a remote controller. A user may interact with the terminal device 20 via one or more input devices of any suitable type, such as a mouse, a button, and a touch screen. Between the aerial vehicle 10 and the terminal device 20, a communicative connection can be established by a wireless communication module, such as a signal receiver and a signal transmitter, provided inside the aerial vehicle 10 and the terminal device 20, respectively, to upload or issue data/instructions.


The aerial vehicle 10 can be a rotor aerial vehicle, such as a quad-rotor aerial vehicle, a six-rotor aerial vehicle, or a fixed-wing aerial vehicle. The terminal device 20 is configured to send a control instruction to the aerial vehicle 10 to control the aerial vehicle 10, and the terminal device 10 can be a remote controller or a smartphone.


The aerial vehicle 10 includes a body 101, arms 102 connected to the body 101, a power apparatus 103 provided in the arm 102, a tripod head 104 connected to the body 101, and a control system (not shown) provided in the body 101.


The tripod head 104 is configured to mount the lens module 105 thereon, and the lens module 105 can be a 1080P, 4K or 8K high definition lens module or an infrared lens module.


The power apparatus 103 is configured to provide thrust and lifting forces for the aerial vehicle 10 to fly. The control system is like a central nervous system of the aerial vehicle 10 and may include a plurality of functional modules, such as a flight control system, a tracking system, a path planning system, and other systems with specific functionality, wherein the flight control system includes various types of sensors such as an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), a gyroscope, and an accelerometer, and is configured to control the flight attitude of the aerial vehicle 10. The path planning system is configured to plan the flight path of the aerial vehicle 10 depending on the position of the tracked target and instruct the flight control system to control the flight attitude of the aerial vehicle 10 so that the aerial vehicle 10 flies along a designated path. The tracking system includes a vision chip provided in the body 101 and communicatively connected to the lens module 105 mounted on the tripod head 104 via the tripod head 104. The vision chip is configured to determine that the tracked target is identified from media data such as an image or video acquired by the lens module 105, and then generate a corresponding tracking control instruction to control the aerial vehicle 10 in tracking the target.


In some embodiments, the lens module 105 may be placed on the tripod head 104 at any position that facilitates photography.


In some embodiments, the lens module 105 may be mounted directly to the bottom of the body 101.


In some embodiments, the vision chip may also be disposed on the arm 102.


In some embodiments, the vision chip may further control a corresponding lens module 105 to perform photographing according to a photographing instruction sent by the user through the terminal device 20, and transmit photographed images or videos to the terminal device 20 to be displayed on a screen of the terminal device 20.


As shown in FIG. 2, the lens module 105 mounted on the tripod head 104 is communicatively connected to the aerial vehicle 10 through a communication interface 1011 provided in the body 101. When the photographing instruction sent by the user through the terminal device 20 is received, the aerial vehicle 10 generates a control instruction for the corresponding lens module 105 according to the photographing instruction, thereby controlling the corresponding lens module 105 to photograph or film so as to acquire media data such as images or videos. The media data is transmitted to an image processing module 1012 provided in the body 101 through the communication interface 1011; two corresponding paths of media data are generated from the media data processed by the image processing module 1012 by an encoding module 1013 provided in the body 1011, and one path of the media data processed by the encoding module 1013 is output to the image storing module 1014 store the media data locally, and the other path of the media data is output to the terminal device 20 through an image transmitting module 1015 for display on the terminal device 20.


It is to be understood that the tripod head 104 may mount one or more lens module 105 thereon, and each lens module 105 communicates with the aerial vehicle 10 through a corresponding communication interface 1011 on the body 101, or the lens modules 105 share one communication interface 1011 to communicate with the aerial vehicle 10.


If the aerial vehicle 10 can be adapted to a plurality of lens modules 105, it is possible that not all the communication interfaces 1011 provide the exact communication protocol needed for their corresponding lens modules 105 because the lens modules are produced by different manufacturers actually. In other words, different lens modules 105 have to communicate through different communication protocols, the aerial vehicle 10 cannot enable drive control over the lens module 105 if the communication protocol is incorrect. Therefore, the aerial vehicle 10 is further provided with an apparatus for controlling 1018 for acquiring the model data of the lens module 105 so that the corresponding lens module 105 is identified according to the model data of the lens module 105, and thus a corresponding communication protocol is adopted to control the corresponding lens module 105.


As shown in FIG. 3, the lens module 105 includes an 8K lens module 105a, a bifocal lens module 105b, and a one-inch lens module 105c. The communication interface 1011 of the body 101 includes a first communication interface 1011a adapted to the 8K lens module 105a, a second communication interface 1011b adapted to the bifocal lens module 105b, and a third communication interface 1011c adapted to the one-inch lens module 105c.


The apparatus for controlling 1018 is communicatively connected to the communication interface 1011, and information about the lens module 105 adapted to the corresponding communication interface 1011 can be acquired through the corresponding communication interface 1011 so that the lens module 105 is identified and controlled.


With reference to FIG. 4, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a lens module, which is applied to the aerial vehicle 10, and the method includes the following steps.


In step S1, model data of the lens module is acquired if the lens module is adapted to the aerial vehicle.


If it's necessary to change the lens module 105 of the aerial vehicle 10, once the user mounts a new lens module 105 onto the tripod head 104 at a corresponding position, the aerial vehicle 10 receives a signal indicating that the lens module 105 is adapted to the aerial vehicle 10 and acquires the model data of the lens module 105.


With reference to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the acquiring model data of the lens module includes:


step S11: detecting whether a communication interface communicating with the lens module is turned on;


step S12: sending a model data request to the lens module corresponding to the communication interface when the communication interface is turned on; and


step S13: receiving the model data sent by the lens module in response to the model data request.


The lens module 105 is detachable, and the lens module 105 includes multiple types; different lens modules 105 need different communication interfaces 1011 to be adapted to the aerial vehicle 10; if the communication interface 1011 is adapted to the corresponding lens module 105, the corresponding communication interface 1011 is turned on, and a communicative connection with external devices is enabled.


For example, the lens modules 105 include an 8K lens module 105a, a bifocal lens module 105b, and a one-inch lens module 105c.


The communication interfaces 1011 includes a first communication interface 1011a adapted to the 8K lens module 105a, a second communication interface 1011b adapted to the bifocal lens module 105b, and a third communication interface 1011c adapted to the one-inch lens module 105c.


If the 8K lens module 105a adopts a MIPI protocol to transmit images, then the first communication interface 1011a is a MIPI interface; if the bifocal lens module 105b transmits infrared thermal images through USB and visible light images through MIPI, then the second communication interface 1011b is compatible with MIPI and the USB interfaces; if the one-inch lens module 105c transmits images through an SLVS-EC protocol, then the third communication interface 1011c is an SLVS-EC interface. Therefore, the aerial vehicle 10 is compatible with the MIPI protocol, the USB protocol, and the SLVS-EC protocol.


By detecting whether the communication interface 1011 communicating with the lens module 105 is turned on, the aerial vehicle 10 can learn whether the corresponding communication interface 1011 is loaded with a corresponding external device. When the communication interface is turned on, a model data request is sent to the lens module 105 corresponding to the communication interface 1011, and the model data sent by the lens module 105 in response to the model data request is received so that the corresponding lens module 105 is identified according to the corresponding model data.


Taking the bifocal lens module 105b as an example of the lens module 105, the description is as follows.


The model data of the lens module can also be acquired by detecting, by the aerial vehicle 10, whether the bifocal lens module 105b exists at first. Specifically, whether the second communication interface 1011b can be turned on is detected, and if the result is negative, then the bifocal lens module 105b does not exist.


Even a result that the second communication interface 1011b can be turned on indicates only that there is an external device outside the second communication interface 1011b. A complete confirmation of the existence of the bifocal lens module 105b mounted on the tripod head 104 is subjected to the acquisition of the model data of the bifocal lens module 105b, such as a serial number. If the acquisition of the model data fails or the acquired model data reports an error, for example, the serial number is null, then the bifocal lens module 105b is considered not to exist. If the acquired model data matches the pre-stored model data, then the second communication interface 1011b is loaded with the bifocal lens module 105b.


Similarly, if the lens module 105 is the 8K lens module 105a, the model data of the lens module 105 can also be acquired by detecting, by the aerial vehicle 10, whether the 8K lens module 105a exists at first. Specifically, whether the second communication interface 1011a can be turned on is detected, and if the result is negative, then the 8K lens module 105a does not exist.


Even a result that the second communication interface 1011a can be turned on indicates only that there is an external device outside the second communication interface 1011a. A complete confirmation of the existence of the 8K lens module 105a mounted on the tripod head 104 is subjected to the acquisition of the model data of the 8K lens module 105a, such as a serial number. If the acquisition of the model data fails or the acquired model data reports an error, for example, the serial number is null, then the 8K lens module 105a is considered not to exist. If the acquired model data matches the pre-stored model data, then the second communication interface 1011a is loaded with the 8K lens module 105a.


With reference to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the method further includes:


step S14: sending a prompt instruction to a terminal device communicatively connected to the aerial vehicle when the communication interface is not turned on so that the terminal device generates a corresponding prompt message.


Herein, the prompt message includes at least one of a voice prompt message, a text prompt message, and a picture prompt message.


For example, if the communication interface 1011 is not turned on, then the corresponding lens module 105 is not mounted on the tripod head 104, or the lens module 105 does not work properly, and at this time, the user shall receive a prompt indicating that the lens module 105 does not work properly.


The prompt may be provided by generating a corresponding prompt instruction and sending the same to the terminal device 20 by the aerial vehicle 10 so that the terminal device 20 generates a corresponding prompt message, wherein the prompt message at least includes one of a voice prompt message, a text prompt message, and a picture prompt message. Therefore, the user can respond timely, for example, to replace the lens module.


In some embodiments, the acquiring model data of the lens module includes:


receiving model information sent by the lens module; and


root-parsing the model information to obtain the model data of the lens module.


For example, when adapted to the aerial vehicle 10, the lens module 105 can actively send the model information of the lens module 105 to the aerial vehicle 10, and the aerial vehicle 10 root-parses the model information and searches for model data of the lens module corresponding to the root-parsed model information from a preset model data library.


In step S2, a lens model of the lens module is determined according to the model data.


The aerial vehicle 10 can acquire the lens model corresponding to the lens module according to the model data and a correlation between the model data and the lens model of the lens module, and further, the aerial vehicle 10 can learn a communication protocol or a drive control program corresponding to the lens module 105 according to the lens model and enable drive control over the lens module 105.


In step S3, the lens module corresponding to the lens model is identified to control the lens module.
