Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle route generation, in particular to a method, a device and a system for generating an unmanned aerial vehicle route.
Background
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle operated by a radio remote control device and a self-contained program control terminal. The intelligent control system relates to a sensor technology, a communication technology, an information processing technology, an intelligent control technology, a power propulsion technology and the like, and is a product with high technical content in the information era.
The air route planning of the unmanned aerial vehicle means that the unmanned aerial vehicle carries out different flight tasks such as road cruising, regional surveying and mapping, shooting monitoring, agricultural plant protection and the like along a specified route or in a specified region through the air route planning. Existing unmanned aerial vehicle route planning includes planning using PC-side software and mobile-side APP. Most unmanned aerial vehicle route planning is controlled by PC end software, and its convenience is not as good as removal end APP.
The existing mobile terminal APP terminal route planning can select or draw a mapping area on terminal equipment according to a user, then the user drags or increases or decreases boundary points on a screen of the mapping area to obtain a specific target mapping area, and then a bottom layer algorithm generates a related unmanned aerial vehicle route planning track according to related parameters set by the user, such as route distance, route angle, side direction overlapping rate and the like. However, since this method uses the actual position of the waypoint on the map as the calculation target, the larger the area of the selected mapping area, the more waypoints, and the huge number of waypoints result in a very large calculation amount when the user drags or changes the mapping area on the screen, and there is a serious stuck problem.
In another method, the view overlay is used to map and display all waypoints generated by the underlying algorithm library on an overlaid view layer, namely the "view layer". The "view layer" is a virtual layer, which can be overlaid on the display screen (e.g. mobile phone screen) of the mobile terminal of the user and establish a corresponding coordinate system. The points with the longitude and the latitude on the map are corresponding to the points on the view layer, and then the calculation is carried out according to the points on the view layer, so the method reduces the calculation amount and greatly improves the efficiency. However, this approach is typically used for rotary wing drones, and only satisfies the need to draw and display the survey area only on the "view layer". In some cases, for example, when the drone is a fixed-wing drone, according to the route planning features of the fixed-wing drone, it is necessary to set the flight points such as the flight circle point and the approach point of the fixed-wing drone on the map, and to draw and display the mapping area on the "view layer", the points on the map layer need to be connected with the points on the "view layer" and simultaneously display the same. When a user drags, changes or zooms on an operation interface of the mobile terminal to change a course or generate a new course, the situation that the drawing displayed on a screen is asynchronous or the drawing is disconnected often occurs due to overlarge calculated amount and asynchronous two-layer processing, and the user experience is greatly influenced.

In other embodiments,drone 102 may be any other suitable type of unmanned aerial vehicle, such as a tilt rotor drone, a vertical take-off and landing fixed wing, and the like. Thepower plant 500 includes: an engine (e.g., an electric motor), a power source (e.g., a battery), power transmission (e.g., electrical modulation), and the like. The number, structure and installation position of thepower devices 500 may be changed according to actual needs in the application of different types of unmanned aerial vehicles, and the invention is not limited thereto. In other possible embodiments, thedrone 102 may further include a cradle head (not shown) installed at the bottom of thefuselage 200, where the cradle head is configured to carry a high-definition digital camera or other imaging device to eliminate disturbance on the high-definition digital camera or other imaging device, so as to ensure that a video captured by the camera or other imaging device is clear and stable.
In an embodiment of the invention, thedrone 102 includes a flight controller disposed on thefuselage 200. The flight controller senses the environment around the unmanned aerial vehicle through various sensors and controls the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The flight controller may include a processing unit (processing unit), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), or a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). When a user performs wireless communication with the unmannedaerial vehicle 102 through themobile control terminal 101 and inputs control instructions such as the flight attitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the flight route of the flight, the flight controller of the unmanned aerial vehicle controls modules such as a motor, a gyroscope, a magnetometer and a GPS module to complete the received flight instructions.
Themobile control terminal 101 includes a main body, a display device provided in the main body, and a processor and a memory provided in the main body, the memory being in communication with the processor. Themobile control terminal 101 is used for interacting with a user. In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor of themobile control terminal 101 is configured to create a View layer, and the View layer is created with reference to fig. 3.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a View layer coordinate system according to an embodiment of the invention. The View layer is a virtual cover layer invisible to a user and is superposed on a display device of the mobile control terminal, such as a display screen of a smart phone. As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, the maximum area of the View layer is an area of a display screen of the mobile control terminal (for example, a display screen of a smart phone), a coordinate system is established such that the upper left corner of the screen is an origin, a horizontal axis extends along an edge of the screen to the right, and a vertical axis extends along the edge of the screen to the upper. The View layer coordinate system is relative to a map coordinate system, points under the View layer coordinate system are points positioned on a View layer, and points under the map coordinate system are points with coordinates such as longitude and latitude on the map layer. The mode shown in fig. 3 is only an example, the maximum area of the View layer may not completely cover the display screen (for example, occupies half of the area of the touch device), and the View layer coordinate system may be established in other modes according to actual requirements. In an embodiment of the invention, the View layer is used for assisting in calculating a course, and the View layer is located above the map layer.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor of themobile control terminal 101 is further configured to calculate and generate a waypoint in the View layer coordinate according to a system preset point on the map layer and a user planned point in the View layer coordinate. According to the flight path planning characteristics of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, when a complete flight path is calculated, not only are system preset points with map longitude and latitude coordinates, such as an ascending spiral point, a descending spiral point and a returning point of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, required to be arranged on a map, but also user planning points when a user plans a surveying and mapping area on a view layer are required. In embodiments of the present invention, the user-planned points include vertices of the user-planned mapping region, flight path points, and the like.
Therefore, the processor is also used for calculating the navigation point under the View layer coordinate according to the system preset point on the map layer and the user planning point under the View layer coordinate. The processor needs to convert the system preset points on the map layer into system preset points under the View layer coordinates, transmit the system preset points and the user planning points under the View layer into a bottom algorithm library, and generate the waypoints under the View layer coordinates according to a preset waypoint generation algorithm. The invention carries out the dead-reckoning of the waypoint under the View layer coordinate, reduces the calculated amount and solves the problem of processing slow jamming.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor of themobile control terminal 101 is further configured to convert the waypoint in the View layer coordinates into a waypoint in the map coordinates, so as to generate a course on the map layer. Because the View layer is a hidden layer invisible to the user, the navigation line is converted into longitude and latitude coordinates from the View layer coordinates, and is drawn on the map layer and displayed to the user. In an embodiment of the invention, the processor converts the waypoints in the View layer coordinates into waypoints in the map coordinates through the API interface, and then generates the route on the map layer. The invention uniformly places the route generation display on the map layer, and solves the problems of instable, incoherent and asynchronous drawing of the route generation in the prior art.
Fig. 4 is a schematic specific flowchart of a method for generating an unmanned aerial vehicle route according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is executed by a mobile control terminal, and comprises the following steps:
step S401: and creating a View layer, wherein the View layer is used for auxiliary calculation and is positioned above the map layer and is invisible to a user.
The establishment of the View layer is shown in FIG. 3. Because under the map coordinate system, a huge number of points on the map are involved when the course is changed, the calculation amount is huge, a View layer coordinate system is established, the area is limited, the points under the map coordinate system are replaced by the points under the View layer coordinate system, the number of the points is reduced, and the calculation amount is reduced.
The View layer is a virtual cover layer invisible to a user and is superposed on a display device of the mobile control terminal, such as a display screen of a smart phone. As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, the maximum area of the View layer is an area of a display screen of the mobile control terminal (for example, a display screen of a smart phone), a coordinate system is established such that the upper left corner of the screen is an origin, a horizontal axis extends along an edge of the screen to the right, and a vertical axis extends along the edge of the screen to the upper. The View layer coordinate system is relative to a map coordinate system, points under the View layer coordinate system are points positioned on a View layer, and points under the map coordinate system are points with coordinates such as longitude and latitude on the map layer. The mode shown in fig. 3 is only an example, the maximum area of the View layer may not completely cover the display screen (for example, occupies half of the area of the touch device), and the View layer coordinate system may be established in other modes according to actual requirements. In an embodiment of the invention, the View layer is used for assisting in calculating a course, and the View layer is located above the map layer.
Step S402: and acquiring the operation of the user when planning the line on the mobile control terminal.
In an embodiment of the invention, a user draws a route desired to be planned on a touch screen of a control terminal by using gestures, and the method intercepts the gestures of the user when the user plans the route on the touch screen to obtain planned route information. These user gestures include changing the position of points, selecting points, adding or deleting vertices so that the points form a triangular, quadrilateral, or polygonal mapping area. The user can change the mapping area by dragging the position of the point or adding or subtracting vertices. Or any point in the flight path to change the original flight path.
Step S403: and converting the operation during the route planning into a user planning point under the View layer coordinate.
Wherein, the gestures comprising the route information are converted into points under the View layer coordinates, namely, the points planned by the user are expressed by the View coordinates. Wherein the user planning points under the View layer coordinates comprise at least one of vertices of the unmanned aerial vehicle mapping region, boundary points of the mapping region, and flight path points.
In addition, according to the route planning characteristics of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, when a complete route is calculated, system-preset points with map longitude and latitude coordinates, such as an ascending spiral point, a descending spiral point, a return point and the like of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, need to be set on a map. Thus, the method further comprises:
and S404, converting the system preset points on the map layer into system preset points under the View layer coordinates.
When the course calculation is involved, the mobile control terminal also needs to convert the system preset points on the map layer involved in the course calculation into the system preset points under the View layer coordinates, so as to facilitate the subsequent course calculation on the View layer.
Step S405: and calculating and generating a navigation point under the View layer coordinate according to a system preset point under the View layer coordinate and a user planning point under the View layer coordinate.
In an embodiment of the invention, a system preset point under the View layer coordinate and a user planning point under the View layer coordinate are transmitted into a bottom algorithm library, and a navigation point under the View layer coordinate is generated according to a preset navigation point generation algorithm.
Step S406: and converting the waypoints in the View layer coordinates into waypoints in the map coordinates so as to generate a route on the map layer.
In an embodiment of the invention, the waypoints in the View layer coordinates can be converted into waypoints in the map coordinates through an API (application programming interface), so that a course is generated on the map layer.
The calculation of the route is to generate each waypoint (for example, a point in the route used for surveying by the unmanned aerial vehicle in the surveying area) according to the information of the shot angle, the flight distance, the inflection point and the like, and then connect the waypoints to form the route. These operations are implemented by the underlying algorithm library.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include:
step S407: and drawing the navigation points under the map coordinates on a display device for displaying.
In one embodiment of the invention, the resulting routes are presented to the user on the map layer and displayed on the touch device.
In the embodiment of the invention, the calculation of the waypoints is carried out on the View layer, and the airline drawing is placed on the map layer, so that the problems of instable, incoherent and asynchronous generation of airline cards in the prior art are solved.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for generating a route of an unmanned aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is executed by a mobile control terminal, and the method includes:
step 501: and creating a View layer, wherein the View layer is used for auxiliary calculation and is positioned above the map layer and is invisible to a user.
The creating of the View layer comprises the steps of establishing a coordinate system of the View layer and determining an area covered by the View layer so as to process points under the coordinates of the View layer. The maximum area of the View layer is the area of a touch device of the user mobile control terminal, the coordinate system takes the upper left corner of the screen as an origin, the horizontal axis extends towards the right along the edge of the screen, and the vertical axis extends upwards along the edge of the screen. Because under the map coordinate system, a huge number of points on the map are involved when the course is changed, the calculation amount is huge, a View layer coordinate system is established, the area is limited, the points under the map coordinate system are replaced by the points under the View layer coordinate system, the number of the points is reduced, and the calculation amount is reduced.
Step 502: and calculating and generating a navigation point under the View layer coordinate according to a system preset point on a map layer and a user planning point under the View layer coordinate.
The system preset points on the map layer refer to ascending spiral points, descending spiral points, returning points, descending points and the like which are preset on the map layer in system software and have longitude and latitude. The user planning points comprise points planned on the View layer by the user in the modes of dragging, increasing and decreasing, and the like, wherein the points comprise the top point of the surveying and mapping area, the boundary point of the surveying and mapping area, the flight path point, and the like. When planning the route of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, the characteristics of the route of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle not only need to set system preset points such as a flight hover point of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle under a map coordinate system (namely longitude and latitude information), but also need a user to plan a surveying and mapping area on a view layer, so that two points, namely the system preset points and the user planned points, can appear when planning the route.
Wherein, planning the mapping area on the view layer comprises obtaining gestures of the user when planning the line on the touch control device, wherein the gestures comprise selecting points, adding or deleting vertexes, so that the points form a triangular, quadrangular or polygonal mapping area. The user can change the mapping area by dragging the position of the point or adding or subtracting vertices. These obtained user operations, including the line information of the survey area, are converted into user planned points in View layer coordinates. In addition, when planning a route, a user can plan the route on the touch device by using gestures, and can plan the route on the mobile control terminal by other modes, and the obtained route information is also converted into user planning points under the View layer coordinates.
Thus, when participating in a calculation, the points of the calculation will be involved: no matter the system preset point under a map coordinate system or the user planning point under a View layer coordinate system, the calculation is carried out under the View layer coordinate system. Therefore, the system preset points on the map layer involved in the calculation need to be converted into the system preset points under the View layer coordinates, and then the calculation needs to be performed on the View layer. Conversely, without involving points on the calculated map layer, there is no need to convert to points in View layer coordinates.
After the user plans, a mapping area is formed, the flight route of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the mapping area needs to be calculated, for example, a waypoint is generated according to information such as a shooting angle, a flight distance, an inflection point and the like, and then the waypoint is connected with the waypoint outside the mapping area to form a closed route.
In an embodiment of the invention, the converted system preset points under the View layer coordinates and the user planning points under the View layer coordinates are transmitted into a bottom algorithm library, and the navigation points under the View layer coordinates are generated according to a preset navigation point generation algorithm. The preset waypoint generation algorithm is an algorithm for specifying how to generate waypoint information such as flight distance, inflection point and the like. If the calculation of the waypoints is carried out by using the points on the map, the calculation amount is huge, so the calculation on the View layer by the step greatly simplifies the calculation amount.
Step 503: and converting the waypoints under the View layer coordinates into waypoints under the map coordinates so as to generate a route on the map layer.
In one embodiment of the invention, the conversion of the waypoints in the View layer coordinates to waypoints in the map coordinates is achieved through an API interface. And converting the waypoints of the View layer into actual waypoints on the map with the longitude and latitude to generate a route and draw the route. Because the generated and drawn routes are all in the map layer, and the View layer is a virtual covering layer invisible to the user, the problems of inconsistent routes, disconnection and unsynchronized drawing when the routes are regenerated are solved.
As shown in fig. 6, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an unmanned aerial vehicle route generation apparatus, where the apparatus includes: the Viewlayer creating module 601, the View layerwaypoint generating module 602 and the map coordinate convertingmodule 603.
The Viewlayer creating module 601 is configured to create a View layer, where the View layer is used for auxiliary computation and is located above the map layer and invisible to a user.
The View layer is an invisible virtual cover layer. A user drags points on a screen or increases or decreases vertexes or boundary points to obtain a specific target mapping area or change flight path points, and then a bottom-layer algorithm generates a complete track of the relevant unmanned aerial vehicle route planning according to relevant parameters set by the user, such as route distance, route angle, side-to-side overlapping rate and the like. However, if the actual position on the map is taken as a calculation object, the number of calculated waypoints is huge, so that a virtual 'View layer' is created, and the area simplification calculation amount is reduced. Creating the View layer comprises establishing a coordinate system of the View layer and determining an area covered by the View layer so as to process points under the coordinate system of the View layer. The maximum area of the View layer is the area of a touch display device (for example, a display screen of a smart phone) of the user mobile control terminal, the coordinate system takes the upper left corner of the screen as an origin, the horizontal axis extends along the edge of the screen towards the right, and the vertical axis extends along the edge of the screen towards the upper side. In other embodiments of the present invention, the View layer may be built in other ways or have other areas, and is not limited herein.
And the View layerwaypoint generating module 602 is configured to calculate and generate waypoints in the View layer coordinates according to system preset points on a map layer and user planning points in the View layer coordinates.
The system preset points on the map layer refer to points preset on the map layer in a software system, such as a rising circle point, a falling circle point, a returning circle point, a falling point and the like with longitude and latitude. The user planning points comprise line information planned on the View layer by the users through equipment such as a touch device and the like, wherein the line information comprises the top points of the surveying and mapping area, the boundary points of the surveying and mapping area, the flight path points and the like.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the View layerwaypoint generating module 602 is configured to convert a system preset point on a map layer into a system preset point under a View layer coordinate, and then calculate and generate a waypoint under the View layer coordinate according to the system preset point under the View layer coordinate and a user plan point under the View layer coordinate.
When a certain point in the system preset points on the map layer participates in calculation, the point in the system preset points on the map layer is converted into a system preset point under the View layer coordinate, and then the system preset point and a user planning point under the View layer coordinate are calculated under the View layer coordinate system in a unified mode. In contrast, system pre-set points on the map layer that do not involve computation need not be converted to points under View layer coordinates.
In one embodiment of the invention, the View layerwaypoint generating module 602 is used for acquiring the operation (such as a gesture) of the user when planning a route on the touch control device; converting the operation during line planning into a user planning point under the View layer coordinate; wherein the planned route comprises at least one of: changing the position of the point, increasing or decreasing the point.
When planning an aerial route, a user selects points on the touch device, and adds or deletes vertexes, so that the points form a triangular, quadrangular or polygonal surveying area. The mapping area can be changed by dragging the position of the points or adding or subtracting vertices, and recalculation of the waypoints is performed when the change is made. The View layerwaypoint generation module 602 is used to convert the route information represented by all these operations of the user (these operations are not limited to gestures) into points in the View layer coordinates.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the View layerwaypoint generating module 602 is configured to transmit a system preset point in the View layer coordinate and a user plan point in the View layer coordinate into a bottom-layer algorithm library, and generate waypoints in the View layer coordinate according to a preset waypoint generating algorithm.
The preset waypoint generating algorithm comprises the step of generating a planned track of the unmanned aerial vehicle route according to the preset parameters such as route distance, route angle, side overlapping rate and the like. These correlation calculations are all performed in View layer coordinates. This step reduces the amount of computation compared to performing the computation in map coordinates.
And the map coordinateconversion module 603 is configured to convert the waypoints in the View layer coordinate into waypoints in the map coordinate, and further generate a route on the map layer.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the coordinateconversion module 603 is further configured to convert the waypoint in the View layer coordinate into a waypoint in the map coordinate through an API interface, so as to generate a route on the map layer.
And converting the navigation points under the calculated and generated View layer coordinates into navigation points under the map coordinates with latitude and longitude information, and further generating a route on the map layer.
When the user modifies the newly generated route, the user returns to the View layerwaypoint generating module 602 to obtain the operation of the user when planning the route on the touch device, so as to perform waypoint calculation again on the View layer.
It should be noted that the Viewlayer creation module 601, the View layerwaypoint generation module 602, and the map coordinateconversion module 603 may be processors of the mobile control terminal.
