Aerial photographing method and system of unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The invention discloses an aerial photographing method and system of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises: an aerial photographing path is preset and a first operation instruction is generated based on the aerial photographing path; according to the first operation instruction, an unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to fly based on the aerial photographing path; a plurality of waypoints are marked during the flying process of the unmanned aerial vehicle; a flight path is planed based on the plurality of waypoints and a flight instruction is generated based on the flight path; the unmanned aerial vehicle flies automatically based on the flight path according to the flight instruction; and during the automatic flight process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to carry out shooting. According to the invention, the unmanned aerial vehicle does not carry out photographing when being operated manually for flight and only carries out photographing during the automatic flight process. On the basis of the aerial photographing way, the operator can operate the unmanned aerial vehicle manually simply without any misoperation. Besides, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies automatically based on the planned flight path to guarantee consistency of flight speeds during the aerial photographing process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial photography, in particular to a method and system for aerial photography of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique [0002] At present, the multi-waypoint preset aerial photography of aerial photography drones is mainly realized by manual operation of drone pilots. This method mainly relies on the pilot's flight operation experience and requires concentration to control the drone. However, this aerial photography method has the following disadvantages: [0003] First, it is difficult to manually operate the UAV to ensure that the flight trajectory of the UAV is based on the best aerial photography trajectory preset at the beginning, and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the flight speed during the aerial photography process; [0004] Second, while the UAV pilot manually controls the UAV to fly according to the automatic waypoint shooting trajectory, the UAV takes aerial photogr...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the manual operation of the UAV to make aerial photography while flying in the prior art, which has high operational complexity, is prone to misoperation, and cannot ensure that the UAV follows the preset aerial photography trajectory. Consistency of flight speed and other defects in the process of flight and aerial photography, providing a UAV aerial photography method and system that can automatically fly and operate easily
