Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned boats, in particular to a small unmanned boat with an adjustable camera height. Background Art

[0002] In the test of detecting floating objects on the water surface and positioning and ranging by carrying a camera on an unmanned boat, it is generally necessary to equip an unmanned boat that can be remotely controlled, and equip the unmanned boat with a power supply, a control module, a sensor module and an image acquisition module; the binocular camera has the advantages of high precision and strong real-time performance, and can provide accurate distance and depth information. The binocular camera can be used as a necessary component of the image acquisition module and fixed on the top of the unmanned boat, and the image information can be directly collected by the binocular camera;

[0003] However, when currently unmanned boats are equipped with binocular cameras, they are unable to flexibly adjust the height of the hull part that is in contact with the camera, resulting in the same binocular camera height in each set of experiments. The installation height of the binocular camera directly affects the range and quality of data acquisition. We believe that the height of the binocular camera may affect the final calculation results of floating objects on the water surface; therefore, we have made structural improvements to the currently used unmanned boats to meet the experimental requirements of detecting floating objects on the water surface at different binocular camera installation heights.
