Problems solved by technology

However, this algorithm needs to manually specify the eigenvalues ​​to be extracted in terms of image processing, and is easily affected by factors such as illumination and obstacle positions, and has poor robustness.
The general deep learning method allows the UAV to learn the characteristics of obstacles by training a large number of perceptual images. However, it is difficult to clarify the boundaries of obstacles and lack the decision-making ability to avoid obstacles correctly.

Embodiment

[0095] In the simulation environment of a village area, there are two obstacles with a height of about 1 meter 6 and a width of about 2 meters—two cars. After the drone takes off, it hovers at a height of about 1 meter 2 above the ground, and starts after stabilization. Fly forward at a constant speed. When approaching an obstacle, it starts to rise to a maximum of 2 meters to avoid obstacles. After flying over the obstacle, it drops to about 1 meter 2 and continues to fly forward until it reaches the end point.

[0096] Each training randomly initializes the position of the UAV in the 3D simulation environment, and gives the UAV controlled by the agent enough time steps to cross the obstacle and reach the position of the farthest flight distance. Since the z-axis of the UAV is vertical to the ground downward, according to the simulation environment, set the flight height of the UAV to -0.65 and the maximum value of the flight distance D to 100. The UAV can follow the above dem...

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent obstacle avoidance method for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on autonomous learning, and so, the unmanned aerial vehicle intelligently and autonomously learnsby utilizing visual information obtained by a camera in a three-dimensional visualization simulation environment and according to terrain height and obstacle height, constant altitude flight control is performed on the unmanned aerial vehicle by utilizing a trained network model as an intelligent body, the flight height is adjusted in real time, and an automatic terrain following application is achieved to complete an autonomous obstacle avoidance task. The method creates the three-dimensional visualization simulation environment, provides a good training environment for an intelligent autonomous obstacle avoidance algorithm, implements an interaction interface for human-machine real-time operation, and provides the possibility for a transfer training from a simulation environment to a true environment. The method provides a simulation test platform for other deep reinforcement learning algorithms, and is convenient for the intelligent body to perform deep reinforcement training and testing of multiple scenarios, different tasks, and multiple algorithms.
