Problems solved by technology

[0011] As a result, these kinds of obstacles cannot be avoided when the fixed-wing drone is out of the user's line of sight, or when the user essentially pilots it based on a live replay of images captured by the camera, leading to interruptions in flight and filming , leading to failure of fixed-wing drones even in the event of a collision or crash with an obstacle

Embodiment Construction

[0045] exist figure 1 with Figure 5 Among them, the electronic video capture system 1 allows the user 12 to optimally pilot a drone 14, in particular a fixed-wing drone, especially of the "sail" type.

[0046] The fixed wing drone 14 includes a drone body (fuselage) 26 provided with a propeller 24 at the rear and two wings 22 on the sides which extend the drone body 26 in a "sail" type configuration as shown. On the rear side, the wing 22 is provided with a control surface 18 that can be oriented using servos to control the path of the drone.

[0047] The UAV 14 is also provided with a camera fixed to the fixed wing UAV 14 (ie, movement of the camera is not possible). The camera has: an image sensor 28 configured to acquire at least one image of the scene; a transmission module (not shown) configured to transmit the image acquired by the image sensor 28, preferably wirelessly, to a piece of electronic equipment, such as an electronic viewing The receiving module (not shown...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for capturing a video using a camera on board a fixed-wing drone (14), the camera comprising an image sensor (28), the drone (14) having, during flight, a drift angle(alpha) between the longitudinal axis (42) of the drone (14) and a flight direction (40) of the drone (14). This method comprises: determining the drift angle (alpha) of the drone (14); and obtaining(108) video by image acquisition corresponding to a zone (Zc) with reduced dimensions relative to those of the image sensor, the position (PZc) of the zone being determined (110) as a function of thedrift angle (alpha) of the drone (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of taking video using an on-board camera of a drone with fixed wings, said camera including an image sensor, during flight said drone is positioned between the longitudinal axis of the drone and the direction of flight of the drone There is a drift angle between them. [0002] In particular, fixed-wing UAVs are of the "sail" type. Hereinafter, "drone" refers to an aircraft without a pilot on board. Drones are autonomous and independent, piloted in an autonomous and independent manner using autopilot, or remotely assisted with autopilot, especially by using control sticks. The invention also relates to a computer program comprising software instructions which, when executed by a computer, perform such a method for capturing video. [0003] The invention also relates to an electronic system comprising a fixed-wing UAV for capturing video, the camera including an on-board image sensor of the UAV, during flight, t...
