Abstract

The invention is suitable for the technical field of computers, and provides a method and a device for indoor navigation of an unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle and a storage medium. The method includes the following steps: photographing the current scene through a monocular camera arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain corresponding scene images, acquiring the inertial measurement data of the unmanned aerial vehicle through an inertial measurement unit arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle, preprocessing the inertial measurement data, combining tracked scene image characteristics with the preprocessed inertial measurement data to generate fusion data, nonlinearly optimizing every frame of the data, and carrying out closed loop detection and attitude graph optimization on the state of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the fusion data and every frame of the nonlinearly optimized scene images in order to realize the navigation of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The method and the device have the advantages of realization of the automatic navigation of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the indoor environment with weak or no GPS signals, effective reduction of the navigation cost of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and improvement of the navigation accuracy and the precision efficiency of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle navigation, and in particular relates to an indoor navigation method and device for an unmanned aerial vehicle, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of embedded technology, sensor information fusion, navigation and control and other theories, quadrotor drones have developed rapidly. The quadrotor UAV is light in weight, small in load, and poor in endurance. Although it can fly in a small space thanks to its size advantage, its overall structure and performance also determine that it can only work at low altitude and short flight. Such as canyons, indoors, woods and other relatively closed environments. In such environments, the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal is generally weak, or there may be no GPS signal at all due to, for example, the structure of the building. It can be seen that the navigation of UAVs in ...
