Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, after the autonomous landing protection technology equipped with the UAV detects that there is a dangerous area in the area to be landed, it can only fly away or hover in the area to be landed in the dangerous area, and cannot avoid the dangerous area in the area to be landed. For low-battery drones, it is easy to cause the drone to crash after the battery is exhausted

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle control, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle landing obstacle avoidance method and device, and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle landing obstacle avoidance method comprises the following steps that: obtaining the point cloud distribution diagram of an area to be landed; accordingto the point cloud distribution diagram, determining a safe area in the area to be landed; in the safe area, determining a target position; and controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to thetarget position to enable the unmanned aerial vehicle to be far away from an obstacle in the area to be landed. Through the above way, the embodiment of the invention can evade the obstacle in the area to be landed so as to reduce a risk that the unmanned aerial vehicle crashes.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of UAV control technology, in particular to a method and device for UAV landing and obstacle avoidance, and the UAV. Background technique [0002] A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by a radio remote control device or its own program control device. With the development of UAV-related technologies and the complex changes in its application scenarios, more and more safety problems occur during the flight of UAVs. Therefore, UAVs are equipped with autonomous landing protection technology to prevent unmanned The plane crashed when it landed in an unknown environment. [0003] At present, after the autonomous landing protection technology equipped with the UAV detects that there is a dangerous area in the area to be landed, it can only fly away or hover in the area to be landed in the dangerous area, and cannot avoid the dangerous area in the area to be landed. For low-power drones, it ...
