AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a solution for improving the vision system of an aircraft by using sensors on the aircraft to obtain data on the luminance of the flight environment. This data is used to adjust the light emitting apparatus on the aircraft and the ambient luminance of the flight environment, so that the aircraft can clearly see and position itself in the environment. This improves the efficiency and control of the aircraft.

Problems solved by technology

However, in a low-light environment such as nighttime, light is dim, luminance of detected image data is low, and vision positioning cannot be effectively performed on the aircraft by using the vision auxiliary apparatus.
Therefore, a flight environment in which the aircraft is located cannot be clearly learned, causing much inconvenience to control over the aircraft.
For example, when the aircraft automatically lands, because light is dim, the surrounding environment cannot be accurately learned during landing.
Consequently, the aircraft is very likely to land at an uneven position, causing damage to the aircraft due to a rollover.

Abstract

This invention discloses an aircraft control method, apparatus and an aircraft. The invention relates to the field of aircraft control technologies. The method includes: obtaining ambient luminance data by a luminance sensing apparatus of an aircraft; determining whether the ambient luminance data satisfies a luminance value required for normal running of a vision system of the aircraft; and adjusting, when the ambient luminance data does not satisfy the luminance value required for normal running of the vision system of the aircraft, a working status of a light emitting apparatus on the aircraft to change light emitting luminance of the light emitting apparatus. The foregoing aircraft control method, apparatus and the aircraft can accurately learn a flight environment in which the aircraft is located, thereby effectively implementing vision positioning on the aircraft and more conveniently controlling the aircraft.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of International Application No. PCT / CN2018 / 082676 filed on Apr. 11, 2018, which claims priority to Chinese Application No. CN201710557726.9 filed on Jul. 10, 2017, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The present application relates to the field of aircraft control technologies and in particular, to an aircraft control method, apparatus and an aircraft.Related Art[0003]An aircraft is a controllable flight device that has driving force, carries out a plurality of types of tasks and can be repeatedly used. Flight of the aircraft is controlled by using a wireless remote control device and a control apparatus of the aircraft.[0004]Currently, the aircraft obtains information indicating a flight environment in which the aircraft is located by using a vision auxiliary apparatus (or referred to as a vision system) during a flight, thereby assisting the aircraft to implement fligh...
