Problems solved by technology

Since the electrical control system of the UAV is independently developed and designed by the UAV manufacturer, the user's special camera equipment cannot be electrically controlled and connected to the UAV; the remote control device of the UAV cannot control the special camera equipment
[0004] Therefore, additional remote control equipment is required to independently control the special camera equipment for operation; but this undoubtedly requires high hardware requirements for modification, and increases the difficulty of the user's operation

Embodiment 1

[0046] In the existing solution, the original camera equipment carried by the UAV can be controlled by the user by controlling the remote control device to take pictures of the UAV. In environmental surveying and mapping operations, the original camera equipment carried by existing drones is not professional camera equipment, resulting in extremely low efficiency in surveying and mapping work. To this end, the applicant needs to improve the UAV, and replace the original camera equipment of the UAV with additional camera equipment (for the convenience of description, the additional camera equipment is collectively referred to as modified camera equipment hereinafter). However, the applicant found that since the modified camera equipment is not compatible with the UAV, the user cannot control the shooting through the UAV's electrical control system or remote control equipment.

[0047] The existing solutions: One is to seek assistance from drone manufacturers to adjust and modif...

Embodiment 2

[0073] Embodiment 2 provides a method and device for controlling camera equipment by acquiring UAV signals. In step 300 of Embodiment 2, the camera device performs image acquisition operations, which specifically includes:

[0074] Step 310, obtaining the flight status data of the drone;

[0075] Step 320, adjust the shooting angle of the camera device according to the flight attitude parameters.

[0076] In this embodiment, the method and principle of embodiment 2 are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the refitted imaging device of embodiment 2 is a combined device of a camera and a camera pan / tilt. Wherein, the camera gimbal is equivalent to the unmanned aerial vehicle gimbal, and the camera gimbal is used to adjust the shooting angle of the camera.

[0077] It should be noted that the second embodiment does not limit the actual structure and connection mode of the camera and the camera pan / tilt, wherein the camera equipment is connected to the drone through the camera...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for controlling camera equipment by acquiring an unmanned aerial vehicle signal. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a trigger signal output by an unmanned aerial vehicle;wherein the trigger signal is used for controlling an indicator light on the unmanned aerial vehicle and displaying the execution state of camera shooting of the unmanned aerial vehicle; converting the trigger signal into a pulse signal; and controlling the camera equipment to execute an image acquisition operation according to the pulse signal. According to the method and thedevice for controlling the camera equipment by acquiring the unmanned aerial vehicle signal, the refitted camera equipment can be controlled by the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aerial photography, and in particular relates to a method and device for controlling camera equipment by acquiring signals from an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique [0002] With the continuous advancement of civilian use of UAVs, more and more UAVs are used in environmental surveying and mapping, geological surveys, geomorphological information collection, power inspections and other occasions. Since the drones produced by the manufacturers are not equipped with original camera equipment and have high limitations in use, the efficiency of drones in the above-mentioned fields is extremely low. [0003] In order to improve the efficiency of drones in special operations, the original camera equipment needs to be converted into special camera equipment. Among them, the mechanical connection between special camera equipment and UAV is relatively easy to realize. The difficulty lies in the incomp...
