Problems solved by technology

[0004] During the operation of the UAV, it is possible to encounter an emergency and need to make a forced landing. For example, the UAV has insufficient power, mechanical failure, sensor failure, etc., which prevent the UAV from reaching the pre-set landing point.
The existing technology usually randomly searches for a landing area suitable for UAV forced landing from the current position. Since the environment of the UAV operation area usually cannot meet the landing requirements, the efficiency of the existing scheme to find the landing area is not high, and there may be no When finding the landing area, the drone will run out of power and fall, causing the drone to be damaged

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle landing area determination method and device, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a storage medium, and the unmanned aerial vehicle landing area determination method comprises the steps: determining an operation boundary of the unmanned aerial vehicle when a forced landing event is detected, and determining a target boundary from theoperation boundary; controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly along the target boundary; and determining a landing area in the process that the unmanned aerial vehicle flies along the target boundary. When forced landing is needed, the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to fly along the operation boundary, the landing area can be found more easily, the problem that the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot be forced to land in time due to long time and even incapability of finding the landing area is solved, the landing area finding efficiency of the unmanned aerial vehicle is improved, and the unmanned aerial vehicle can be forced to land in time, and thus the flight safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of drones, and in particular, to a method and device for determining a landing area of ​​a drone, a drone, and a storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the gradual maturity of UAV technology, UAVs have been widely used in many fields. For example, UAVs can perform flight operations such as surveying and mapping, plant protection, exploration, and aerial photography according to pre-planned routes. [0003] In the prior art, before the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off, a landing point has been set in the pre-planned route, and the unmanned aerial vehicle returns to the landing point to land after completing the flight mission, or lands on the spot after performing the flying mission. [0004] During the operation of the UAV, it is possible to encounter an emergency and need to make a forced landing. For example, the UAV has insufficient power, mechanical failure, sensor ...
