Abstract

According to one aspect, the present description relates to a drone (10) designed for viewing a distant scene, comprising a flying platform (20) and at least one first camera (40) mechanically securedto the platform. The first camera (40) comprises an image sensor with a detection surface, an electro-optical system for creating images of the scene on the detection surface of the image sensor, able to give the camera a diagonal angular field of view of less than 47 degrees. According to the first aspect, the electro-optical system comprises at least one first optical unit, which is fixed, comprising a plurality of optical dioptres, an electro-optical device with variable optical power able to adjust the focusing of the image on the detection surface, and a control unit controlling the electro-optical device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to drones suitable for observing distant scenes, and more particularly to lightweight drones, typically less than 25kg. The description also relates to methods of forming images using such drones. Background technique [0002] Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aerial vehicles that are remotely controlled and capable of performing specific tasks during flight. [0003] Originally developed for military applications, drones are now being developed for civilian purposes as well, such as for commercial applications or road or agricultural monitoring applications. For example, it is known that Parrot's UAV or Shenzhen Dajiang Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. and drone. These drones are so-called light drones, usually weighing less than 25kg. [0004] Drones are usually equipped with electric motors, or several rotors driven by their own motors, an array of sensors (accelerometers, rate gyroscopes, a...
