Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, this implementation method has a lot of shortcomings. First, the requirements for operators are very high. Generally, special training is required to master the driving skills of drones. According to the "Interim Regulations on the Administration of Civilian Unmanned Aircraft System Pilots" issued by my country in 2014, drone pilots must hold a certificate to work. This threshold has largely affected the popularity of drones.
The second is that the control method is not intuitive and precise. This control method is to output a flight command through a combination of multiple keys, which belongs to fuzzy control. Complex movement operations of the machine will also appear powerless
At present, gesture recognition technology based on visual images is the most widely used. Although it has the advantages of convenient operation and natural human-computer interaction, it is far from a perfect solution due to hardware costs and technical implementation difficulties.

Embodiment 1

[0035] Such as figure 1 , figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the UAV remote control system of this embodiment includes a smart glasses 1 (ie a fixed device) worn on the operator's head and a flight controller 2 installed on the UAV body. The smart glasses 1 need to be equipped with at least one pair of infrared or thermal imaging or visible light cameras, a three-axis gyroscope, a magnetic compass, a processing device and a transmitting device. At least one GPS positioning device and one receiving device need to be configured inside the flight controller 2 .

[0036] see figure 1 , figure 2 , using the above-mentioned system to perform gesture remote control of drones, the steps are as follows:

[0037] First, the drone pilot wears the smart glasses 1 of the present invention on his head. The smart glasses 1 have a built-in lithium battery, which can guarantee a long battery life.

[0038] Before the remote control starts, a remote control start command and a remote cont...

Embodiment 2

[0049] Such as image 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the UAV remote control system of this embodiment includes a fixed device 1 worn on the operator's waist or chest, a flight controller 2 installed on the UAV body, and a handheld device held by the operator 3. The fixed device 1 needs to be equipped with at least one GPS positioning device, one processing device and one transmitting device inside. At least one GPS positioning device and one receiving device need to be configured inside the flight controller 2 . The handheld device 3 is provided with at least one grabbing button 3 - 1 , and at least one GPS positioning device, a three-axis gyroscope and a magnetic compass need to be configured inside the handheld device 3 .

[0050] see image 3 and Figure 4 , using the above-mentioned system to perform gesture remote control of drones, the steps are as follows:

[0051] First, the drone pilot wears the immobilization device 1 of the present invention on the waist or on the ...

Embodiment 3

[0061] Embodiment 3 is basically the same as Embodiment 2, except that the motion detection device installed in the fixed device in Embodiment 3 is an RFID group receiving device that can distinguish directions composed of a plurality of RFID antennas; An RFID transmitter is installed. When the grabbing button is in the pressed state, the RFID group receiving device receiving device and the RFID transmitting device in the fixed device and the handheld device work, and the distance x between the human hand and the fixed device is obtained by RFID technology before the human hand starts to move. , the movement distance y of the human hand and the movement direction Az.

[0062] In addition, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 Shown, in the present invention can set the minimum limit altitude of an unmanned aerial vehicle flight (seeing Figure 6 ) and the safe radius of flight (see Figure 7 ). For example in Figure 6 In , when the UAV has already flown to the lowest altitude, it ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned plane remote control system based on gesture, and the system comprises fixed equipment worn by an operator, and a flight controller disposed on an unmanned plane. The fixed equipment is used for detecting the real-time movement locus of a hand or equipment on the hand, and enables the real-time movement locus of the hand or equipment on the hand to be processed and to serve as a remote control instruction for the movement of the unmanned plane, and then transmits the remote control instruction to the unmanned plane. The flight controller is used for receiving the remote control instruction for the movement of the unmanned plane from the fixed equipment, driving the unmanned plane to carry out movement consistent with the real-time movement locus of the hand or equipment on the hand in real time according to the content of the remote control instruction. The system irons out the defects that a visual image detection and recognition mode needs to build a gesture database in advance, is low in accuracy of gesture recognition, is complex in algorithm, and is large in calculation amount. Moreover, the system greatly reduces the hardware equipment cost and the difficulty in software development, and is suitable for popularization and prompt in application of unmanned planes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of human-computer interaction, and more specifically, relates to a system for manipulating an unmanned aerial vehicle through gestures. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development and popularization of UAV technology, remote control technology has become increasingly mature. At present, most UAVs are operated through a dedicated remote control. For example, basic direction control is achieved by setting multiple directions on the remote control. Control physical buttons or joysticks, or set virtual buttons for multi-directional control on the touch screen of the remote control to realize the spatial three-dimensional movement of the drone in front, back, left, and right, up and down. [0003] However, this implementation method has a lot of shortcomings. First, the requirements for operators are very high. Generally, special training is required to master the driving skills of...
