Flight path setting method and apparatus

Abstract

Provided in the embodiment of the present invention are a flight path setting method and apparatus, wherein the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises: acquiring flight path data of an aircraft; determining waypoint coordinates in the flight path data, and configuring a flight path display interface according to a maximal distance value between the determined waypoint coordinates; displaying the flight path of the aircraft in the configured flight path display interface according to the waypoint coordinates in the flight path data; and resetting the flight path displayed in the flight path display interface according to received editing information corresponding to an editing operation, to obtain the updated flight path data of the aircraft. By using the present invention, the user can be given the function of flight path editing and the information concerning the flight path is displayed to the user in an intuitive and comprehensive way, which accordingly saves the time of the user and meets the requirements of the user for automated and intelligent viewing and editing of the flight path.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of flight, in particular to a method and device for setting a flight route. Background technique [0002] Aircraft, especially UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicle) that can fly by remote control, can reach many places that people cannot reach under human control, and realize tasks such as shooting and testing special areas and characteristic angles. [0003] At present, the flight control of the aircraft includes two methods, one is manual control, the user can control the aircraft to fly in a certain area through remote control and other equipment; the other is automatic control, the user can input one or more GPS coordinates, the aircraft is automatically controlled so that the aircraft passes through these GPS coordinates successively during the flight. [0004] For the manual method, the user must always pay attention to the state of the aircraft, otherwise th...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] For the manual method, the user must always pay attention to the status of the aircraft, otherwise there may be a flight accident or the failure to complete the specified flight task, which is time-consuming and laborious

For the automatic control method, the input data cannot be intuitively fed back to the user, so that the user cannot grasp whether the flight mission controlled based on the input data is accurate and reasonable, and there is a waste of user time.
