Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, neither of the above two documents proposes to isolate the user from the external real environment for helping the user holding the pilot console to maintain the antenna of this console at least approximately towards the UAV to maintain the quality of the wireless link with the UAV. Visual means, especially to indicate to him in which direction to move the console (right or left, etc.) (usually by turning yourself around) so that the directional antenna is properly pointed at the drone and / or to warn him of the drone The location of the machine can make the wireless link prone to poor quality or even loss

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Exemplary embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention will now be described.

[0030] An immersive imaging (first person perspective) system according to the present invention includes a drone equipped with at least one imaging camera and a ground station communicating with the drone and virtual reality glasses via a suitable range wireless link equipped with: A device that presents images in front of the user's eyes in the most realistic way possible to give him the feeling of flying on a drone (flying in first person view or FPV mode).

[0031] In this example the UAV contains a single camera with a fisheye type lens, but as a variant it could also include a set of cameras, together with digital processing means provided on board the UAV and / or in a ground station such that It is possible to combine images from each camera.

[0032] exist figure 1 In , reference numeral 10 generally denotes an unmanned aerial vehicle, such as a flying unmanned aerial vehic...

Abstract

The invention discloses a system for piloting a drone in first-person view mode. The system comprises a drone and a ground station. The ground station comprises a control station equipped with a directional antenna adapted to point to the drone to maintain the quality of the wireless link with the latter and a pair of virtual reality glasses that present images taken by drone. The system comprises an apparatus for determining the position of the drone relative to the heading of the control station, and an apparatus for giving a visual indicate (C, Ce, G, Id) of the drone relative to the deviation of the heading of the control station in the images (I) presented in the VR glassess. Althouth the driver is isolated from the external real environment, he can redirent the control station (normally by turning himself) based on the visual represent, making the directional antenna pointing at the drone properly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles such as quadrotor helicopters. Background technique [0002] The drone is equipped with a plurality of rotors driven by corresponding motors which can be controlled in a differentiated manner in order to manipulate the attitude and speed of the drone. [0003] The AR.Drone 2.0 or Bebop Drone from Parrot SA in Paris, France is a typical example of this type of quadcopter. They are all equipped with an array of sensors (accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, altimeter), a front-facing camera that captures images of the scene the drone is pointing at, and a vertical view camera that captures images of the ground it is flying over. [0004] WO 2010 / 061099 A2 and EP 2364757 A1 (Parrot SA) describe drones of this type and their use via a touchscreen multimedia phone or media player (such as a cellular phone of the iPhone type or of the iPad type) with an integrated accelerometer (registered...
