As long as additionally, technical characteristic involved in invention described below different embodiments non-structure each other Can just be combined with each other into conflict.
In order to improve the positioning precision of unmanned plane during flying, present embodiment discloses a kind of side positioned to unmanned plane Method, refer to Fig. 1, be the method flow diagram that this pair of unmanned plane is positioned, and the method that this pair of unmanned plane is positioned includes:
Step S101, during unmanned plane during flying, generates benchmark image.
In the present embodiment, ground image can be gathered after unmanned plane takes off since original position, by unmanned plane preceding The ground image gathered toward the moving process of destination is spliced, using spliced result as benchmark image.Allegedly Face image refer to unmanned plane in flight course to overlook the image of visual angle collection, the folder of the vertical view view directions and vertical direction Angle is less than 90 degree.Preferably, the vertical view view directions can straight down, in the case, be overlooked view directions and erect Nogata to angle be 0 degree.
Unmanned plane can store the benchmark image of generation, in case being subsequently continuing with the benchmark image..It is optional as one kind Mode, the benchmark image after generating the reference images, can also be sent to other unmanned planes, so as to other by unmanned plane Unmanned plane can also use the benchmark image.It should be noted that for same unmanned plane, because the items of unmanned plane are hard Part parameter will not change during unmanned plane during flying, so the benchmark image that unmanned plane itself is generated can be characterized The unmanned plane goes to journey track.It is so-called that to go to journey track refer to that unmanned plane flies to the flight path of destination locations from original position.
Step S102, obtains the present image of current time collection.
After benchmark image is generated, during unmanned plane during flying, the present image of current time collection can be obtained.
Step S103, according to benchmark image and present image, determines the current location of unmanned plane.
In the present embodiment, after benchmark image is obtained, present image and benchmark image can be compared, obtain current The difference of image and benchmark image, the motion vector of unmanned plane is can be evaluated whether according to the difference, thereby determines that the current of unmanned plane Position.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, in step S101, the operation for generating benchmark image can include:In unmanned plane during flying During, gather ground image;Ground image is spliced, benchmark image is obtained.In a particular embodiment, can be by pre- If interval collection ground image, alleged predetermined interval can determine default time interval in time domain according to priori, or Default distance interval on person position.Alleged predetermined interval can be at equal intervals, or unequal interval.
In specific splicing, can be spliced using one-piece pattern, it would however also be possible to employ segmented model carries out image mosaic. Specifically, in splicing, overlapping region is usually there will be between adjacent two field picture, will can be had two before and after lap Two field picture is combined into a secondary large-scale seamless image.For with the adjacent two field pictures for overlapping, it is also possible to will a wherein two field picture Overlapping region directly cast out, the part being had more is spliced on another two field picture, is merged in seam region, so as to obtain Spliced map.
In the embodiment of the present invention, during unmanned plane flies to position of making a return voyage from original position, ground image is gathered.Institute Title original position refers to unmanned plane in the position for starting to take off;Alleged position of making a return voyage refers to start to start bit after unmanned plane takes off Put the position of return.Generally, make a return voyage the destination that position goes to for unmanned plane, but, in specific implementation process, position of making a return voyage Can also be unmanned plane received during destination of flying to make a return voyage instruction when where position.Position of making a return voyage can also be Unmanned plane runs into the position that special circumstances determine to need to make a return voyage during destination of flying to.Occur for example in flight course Not enough power supply, without emergency cases such as gps signal, unmanned plane failures, at this moment the flight control system in unmanned plane determines to make a return voyage.
Alternatively, before step S102 is performed, can also include:
Step S104, it is determined that making a return voyage.
Can be that unmanned plane actively determines to make a return voyage wherein in a kind of implementation method, for example unmanned plane is in flight course Running into special circumstances needs to make a return voyage, and not enough power supply occurs in flight course in such as unmanned plane, without gps signal, unmanned plane failure Etc. emergency case, the at this moment flight control system determination in unmanned plane is maked a return voyage.Fulfiled assignment after task destination is flown to, unmanned plane Can actively determine that needs make a return voyage.
Maked a return voyage in another implementation method, or by controller control unmanned plane.Specifically, unmanned plane is received The instruction maked a return voyage for instruction that controller sends.After unmanned plane receives the instruction, it is determined that making a return voyage.In the present embodiment, control Device can be unmanned plane dedicated remote control, or with the terminal being remotely controlled to unmanned plane, such as mobile terminal, calculate Machine, notebook etc..
In order to provide track reference of making a return voyage when making a return voyage to unmanned plane, alternatively, after step S101 is performed, also wrap Include:
Step S105, determines that unmanned plane flies to the reverse track of position of making a return voyage from original position.
