Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drone lighting, and in particular to a method, system, terminal, and medium for variable lighting control of drones. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own programs. In low-light environments such as power restoration and nighttime construction, they cannot operate normally at night due to environmental factors, and the personal safety of workers cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, existing technologies use UAVs to provide lighting, reducing the impact of environmental or personnel limitations on lighting provision.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered that current drone lighting systems cannot change the light intensity of their lighting devices, nor can they automatically adjust brightness according to the darkness of the environment. If the brightness is too high or too low, workers cannot perform their normal work, which affects the progress of tasks such as power repairs and nighttime construction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Firstly, in order to enable the lighting device on the drone to automatically change the light intensity according to the ambient light level, this application provides a variable lighting control method for drones.

[0005] This application provides a variable illumination control method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A variable illumination control method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes:

[0007] Acquire ambient light intensity information and location parameters of the illuminated area;

[0008] The ambient light intensity of the illuminated area is obtained based on the ambient light intensity information of the illuminated area;

[0009] Perform the first brightness determination: determine whether the ambient light intensity value of the lighting area is within the limited range; if the minimum ambient light intensity value of the lighting area is lower than the minimum value of the limited range, set the area where the minimum light intensity value is located as the first area; if the maximum light intensity value of the lighting area is higher than the maximum value of the limited range, set the area where the maximum light intensity value is located as the second area, and obtain the position parameters of the first area and the position parameters of the second area based on the position parameters of the lighting area.

[0010] Based on the location parameters of the illuminated area, obtain the location parameters of the illuminated area and the UAV within the effective illumination distance of the illuminated area;

[0011] Select the target lighting device on the corresponding UAV based on the position parameters of the first area, the position parameters of the second area, and the position parameters of the UAV.

[0012] The illumination intensity of the target lighting device is adjusted according to the ambient light intensity of the lighting area and the defined range.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when using drones for lighting, the system first acquires the ambient light intensity information and location parameters of the lighting area to facilitate positioning and lighting. Then, based on the ambient light intensity information, it determines the ambient light intensity of the lighting area and whether it falls within a defined range, thus determining whether the light intensity of the lighting device needs to be changed. If the minimum light intensity is lower than the minimum value of the defined range, a first region is identified. If the maximum light intensity is higher than the maximum value of the defined range, a second region is identified. Next, drones within the effective illumination distance of the lighting area are acquired to identify drones capable of illuminating the first or second region, as well as the target lighting device on the drone. This allows for precise positioning of the lighting device whose light intensity needs to be changed, saving energy. Finally, the light intensity of the target lighting device is adjusted according to the defined range to bring the ambient light intensity of the lighting area within the defined range. This allows the lighting device on the drone to automatically change its light intensity according to the ambient light level, thus avoiding interference with workers' power repairs, nighttime construction, and other tasks.

[0014] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0015] Obtain ambient humidity information for the illuminated area, including ambient humidity values;

[0016] Perform humidity value determination based on the ambient humidity information of the lighting area:

[0017] Compare the ambient humidity value with the first set value;

[0018] If the humidity value is greater than the first set value, the lighting device will be controlled to change the color of the light emitted.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone is used for lighting, the ambient humidity of the area to be lit is first obtained; then the ambient humidity value is compared with a first set value. When the humidity value is greater than the first set value, the current weather is determined to be foggy. In order to avoid affecting the work of workers such as power repair and night construction, the lighting device is controlled to change the light emission color of the lighting device, so that the lighting device emits light with strong penetrating power such as reddish light or yellowish light for lighting.

[0020] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0021] Obtain rainfall information for the illuminated area;

[0022] Calculate the change in rainfall over a specified time period based on the rainfall information of the illuminated area;

[0023] Perform rainfall determination operation:

[0024] Compare the change in rainfall with the second set value;

[0025] If the change in rainfall exceeds the second set value, the lighting device will be controlled to increase the light intensity.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone is used for lighting, the rainfall change value within a limited time is first calculated based on the rainfall information of the lighting area; then the rainfall change value is compared with a second set value. When the rainfall change value is greater than the second set value, the current weather is determined to be light rain, moderate rain, or heavy rain. In order to avoid affecting the work of staff such as power repair and night construction, the lighting device is controlled to increase the light intensity according to the rainfall. The greater the rainfall change value, the higher the light intensity.

[0027] Preferably, the step of obtaining the position parameters of the UAV near the lighting area based on the position parameters of the lighting area includes: obtaining the position information of the staff;

[0028] Based on the location information of the staff and the ambient light intensity information of the lighting area, obtain the ambient light intensity information of the staff's location;

[0029] Perform the second brightness determination: compare the ambient light intensity at the location of the staff member with the fourth set value; if the ambient light intensity at the location of the staff member is lower than the fourth set value, set the area with the ambient light intensity lower than the fourth set value as the third area, and obtain the corresponding third area position parameters based on the staff member's location information;

[0030] Select the appropriate supplementary lighting device on the drone based on the location parameters of the third region and the location parameters of the drone.

[0031] The illumination intensity of the supplementary lighting device is adjusted according to the lowest light intensity in the third area, so that the ambient light intensity at the location of the worker is adjusted to the fourth set value;

[0032] Obtain hand gestures from staff;

[0033] The staff controlled the lighting devices on the drone and adjusted the light intensity according to their hand gestures.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the location of the staff is first obtained, and then the lowest light intensity at the location of the staff is obtained. When the lowest light intensity at the location of the staff is lower than the fourth set value, it indicates that the third area where the lowest light intensity is located needs to be supplemented with light. Thus, the supplementary lighting device is determined, and the third area is supplemented with light so as to receive the staff's gesture commands. This allows the staff to control the opening and closing of the lighting device on the drone and the light intensity through gesture operation.

[0035] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0036] Obtain lighting change commands;

[0037] Based on the illumination change command, obtain the position parameters of the UAV within the illumination area and the effective illumination distance of the illumination area, as well as the equipment information of the UAV's lighting device;

[0038] Based on the drone's position parameters and the equipment information of the drone's lighting device, a lighting change interface is displayed on the human-machine interface, and lighting device controls are generated on the lighting change interface.

[0039] Obtain the trigger command for the corresponding lighting device control, and generate a color change control and a light intensity change control on the lighting change interface. The color change control is used to change the color of the light emitted by the lighting device, and the light intensity change control is used to change the light intensity of the lighting device.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, after the user inputs a light change command on the mobile terminal interface, the light change interface will be displayed on the human-computer interaction interface of the mobile terminal. Thus, the light color and light intensity of the lighting device can be changed through the light change interface, saving time and effort.

[0041] Preferably, the step of displaying a lighting change interface on the human-machine interface based on the drone's position parameters and the device information of the lighting device on the drone, and generating lighting device controls on the lighting change interface, includes the following:

[0042] Get grouping instructions;

[0043] The corresponding selection control is displayed next to the lighting device control according to the grouping instructions;

[0044] Obtain confirmation instructions for the corresponding selected control, record the selected lighting device, and generate a lighting device group control based on the selected lighting device.

[0045] Obtain the trigger command for the lighting device group control, and generate a group light color change control and a group light intensity change control in the illumination change interface. The group light color change control is used to change the emission color of the lighting device group, and the group light intensity change control is used to change the light intensity of the lighting device group.

[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, the lighting devices are grouped to facilitate the simultaneous and unified control of multiple lighting devices, reducing the trouble of multi-line operation and lowering the difficulty of operation.

[0047] Preferably, the step of adjusting the light intensity of the target lighting device according to the ambient light intensity of the lighting area and the defined range includes:

[0048] Obtain the change in ambient light intensity in the first or second region within a set time period;

[0049] Perform light intensity change value determination: compare the light intensity change value with the third set value;

[0050] If the change in light intensity is less than the third set value, an auxiliary lighting device is selected based on the position parameters of the first or second region and the position parameters of the UAV.

[0051] The illumination intensity of the auxiliary lighting device is adjusted according to the defined range and the ambient light intensity of the current first or second region.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, if the change value of ambient light intensity in the first area does not reach the expected value after the target lighting device changes the set time of light intensity, it is determined that there is an obstacle between the target lighting device and the first area. At this time, the light intensity of the first area is changed by the auxiliary lighting device.

[0053] Secondly, in order to enable the lighting device on the drone to automatically change the light intensity according to the ambient light level, this application provides a variable lighting system for a drone, including...

[0054] The information acquisition module is used to acquire ambient light intensity information and location parameters of the lighting area.

[0055] The minimum brightness recognition module is used to obtain the ambient light intensity of the illuminated area based on the ambient light intensity information of the illuminated area.

[0056] The first brightness determination module is used to perform the first brightness determination: determining whether the ambient light intensity value of the lighting area is within the limited range; if the lowest ambient light intensity value of the lighting area is lower than the lowest value of the limited range, the area where the lowest light intensity value is located is set as the first area; if the highest light intensity value of the lighting area is higher than the highest value of the limited range, the area where the highest light intensity value is located is set as the second area, and the position parameters of the first area and the position parameters of the second area are obtained according to the position parameters of the lighting area.

[0057] The UAV location acquisition module is used to acquire the location parameters of the UAV within the lighting area and the effective illumination distance of the lighting area based on the location parameters of the lighting area.

[0058] The target illumination device module is used to select the target illumination device on the corresponding UAV based on the position parameters of the first area, the position parameters of the second area, and the position parameters of the UAV.

[0059] The brightness adjustment module is used to adjust the light intensity of the target lighting device according to the ambient light intensity of the lighting area and the defined range.

[0060] Thirdly, in order to enable the lighting device on the drone to automatically change the light intensity according to the ambient light level, this application provides a smart terminal, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0061] A smart terminal includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program that can be loaded by the processor and executed by the aforementioned variable illumination control method for unmanned aerial vehicles.

[0062] Fourthly, to enable the lighting device on the drone to automatically adjust the light intensity according to the ambient light level, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium, employing the following technical solution:

[0063] A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that can be loaded by a processor and executed by any of the above-described variable illumination control methods for unmanned aerial vehicles.

[0064] By adopting the above technical solution, and using the computer program on the variable lighting control method for UAVs stored in the storage medium, the function of automatically controlling the lighting device to automatically change the light intensity according to the ambient light brightness can be realized, thereby simplifying the operation of the lighting device, reducing the workload of the staff, and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0065] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0066] 1. When using drones for lighting, first acquire the ambient light intensity information and location parameters of the lighting area to facilitate positioning and illumination. Then, based on the ambient light intensity information, determine the ambient light intensity of the lighting area and whether it is within a defined range to determine if the light intensity of the lighting device needs to be changed. If the minimum light intensity is lower than the minimum value of the defined range, the first area is identified; if the maximum light intensity is higher than the maximum value of the defined range, the second area is identified. Next, acquire drones within the effective illumination distance of the lighting area to identify drones that can illuminate the first or second area and the target lighting device on the drone. This allows for precise positioning of the lighting device whose light intensity needs to be changed, saving energy. Finally, adjust the light intensity of the target lighting device according to the defined range so that the ambient light intensity of the lighting area is adjusted to within the defined range. This allows the lighting device on the drone to automatically change its light intensity according to the ambient light brightness, thus avoiding interference with workers' power repairs, nighttime construction, and other work.

[0067] 2. When the drone is used for lighting, the ambient humidity of the area to be lit is first obtained; then the ambient humidity value is compared with the first set value. When the humidity value is greater than the first set value, the current weather is determined to be foggy. In order to avoid affecting the work of staff such as power repair and night construction, the lighting device is controlled to change the light emission color of the lighting device, so that the lighting device emits light with strong penetrating power such as reddish light or yellowish light for lighting.

[0077] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0078] Commands can be obtained through mechanical button triggering or virtual button triggering. For mechanical button triggering, the command can be obtained automatically after powering on by pressing the power button, or by pressing the corresponding trigger button again after powering on. For virtual button triggering, the command can be obtained by pressing the relevant virtual trigger button in the interface of the corresponding software.

[0079] This application discloses a variable illumination control method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 A variable illumination control method for unmanned aerial vehicles includes:

[0080] Step S100: Obtain ambient light intensity information and location parameters of the lighting area.

[0081] Specifically, staff can pre-deploy multiple light intensity measuring instruments in the lighting area. The deployment method can be to divide the lighting area into multiple detection zones, with at least one light intensity measuring instrument set in each detection zone. The light intensity measuring instruments will upload the ambient light intensity value of each detection zone to the server, and the server will transmit the detection value to the main control computer and other control equipment. The corresponding GIS map of the lighting area can be obtained through the network, and the location coordinates of the lighting area can be in latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0082] Step S200: Obtain the ambient light intensity of the illuminated area based on the ambient light intensity information of the illuminated area;

[0083] Step S300: Perform the first brightness determination: determine whether the ambient light intensity value of the illuminated area is within the specified range;

[0084] Step S310: If the minimum ambient light intensity value of the lighting area is lower than the minimum value of the limited range, the area where the minimum light intensity value is located is set as the first area; if the maximum light intensity value of the lighting area is higher than the maximum value of the limited range, the area where the maximum light intensity value is located is set as the second area, and the location parameters of the first area and the second area are obtained according to the location parameters of the lighting area.

[0085] Step S320: If the ambient light intensity value of the illuminated area is within the specified range, then control the light intensity of the lighting device on the drone to remain unchanged.

[0086] Specifically, the main control unit selects the lowest value from the obtained detection values ​​and compares it with the lowest value of the limited range, and selects the highest value and compares it with the highest value of the limited range. If the lowest light intensity value is lower than the lowest value of the limited range, the detection area where the lowest light intensity value is located is recorded and the position coordinates of the corresponding first area are obtained. If the highest light intensity value is higher than the highest value of the limited range, the detection area where the highest light intensity value is located is recorded and the position coordinates of the corresponding second area are obtained. The limited range is pre-input by the staff, and the staff can work normally under the ambient light intensity of the limited range.

[0087] Step S400: Obtain the position parameters of the illuminated area and the UAV within the effective illumination distance of the illuminated area based on the position parameters of the illuminated area;

[0088] Step S500: Select the target lighting device on the corresponding UAV based on the position parameters of the first area, the position parameters of the second area, and the position parameters of the UAV;

[0089] Specifically, since there can be multiple drones responsible for lighting, the main controller obtains the position coordinates of drones near the lighting area. If a drone is within the lighting area, its position coordinates are obtained. If a drone is not within the lighting area, and the straight-line distance between the drone and the boundary of the lighting area is less than the effective illumination distance of the lighting device, its position coordinates are obtained. Then, the drone with the closest straight-line distance to the center point of the first or second area is selected, and the lighting device on that drone is selected as the target lighting device.

[0090] Step S600: Adjust the light intensity of the target lighting device according to the ambient light intensity of the lighting area and the defined range.

[0091] Specifically, the main controller controls the target lighting device to increase or decrease the light intensity. The increase is determined by the difference between the minimum and maximum light intensity values ​​and the minimum and maximum values ​​of the defined area. The higher the difference, the greater the increase or decrease. This increases the ambient light intensity of the first area to the minimum value of the defined range or decreases the ambient light intensity of the second area to the maximum value of the defined range. Then, the increase or decrease of the target lighting device's light intensity is stopped, so that the lighting device on the UAV can automatically change the light intensity according to the ambient light brightness.

[0092] If there is an obstacle between the target lighting device and the first area, additional lighting devices are needed to provide auxiliary lighting. Specific methods include:

[0093] Reference Figure 3 Step S610: Obtain the change value of ambient light intensity within a set time period for the first or second region.

[0094] Specifically, the main control unit calculates the difference in light intensity between two times in the first area before and after the set time to obtain the change in light intensity. The set time can be pre-input by the staff.

[0095] Step S620: Perform light intensity change value determination: compare the light intensity change value with the third set value;

[0096] Step S630: If the change in light intensity is less than the third set value, select an auxiliary lighting device based on the position parameters of the first area or the second area and the position parameters of the UAV.

[0097] Specifically, the change value of light intensity is compared with the third set value. If the change value of light intensity is less than the third set value, the drone that is closest to the center of the first or second area (excluding the target lighting device) is selected. The lighting device on the drone is used as an auxiliary lighting device. The third set value is pre-input by the staff and obtained through multiple experiments. There can be multiple third set values, which correspond to the light intensity change value that should be present when there are no obstacles under different enhancement or reduction amplitudes, so as to reduce the interference of obstacles with low transparency.

[0098] Step S640: Adjust the illumination intensity of the auxiliary lighting device according to the defined interval and the ambient light intensity of the current first or second region.

[0099] Specifically, the main control unit controls the auxiliary lighting device to increase the light intensity. Once the ambient light intensity in the first area reaches a certain value or the ambient light intensity in the second area decreases to a certain value, the main control unit stops increasing or decreasing the light intensity of the auxiliary lighting device. This allows the ambient light intensity in the first or second area to be adjusted to the required brightness in a timely manner, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0100] Reference Figure 4 In addition, the lighting devices on the drone can also be controlled by hand gestures from staff. The specific control method is as follows:

[0101] Step SA1: Obtain the location information of the staff;

[0102] Step SA2: Obtain the ambient light intensity information of the location of the staff based on the staff's location information and the ambient light intensity information of the lighting area.

[0103] Specifically, the real-time coordinates of the staff are obtained through the locator, the detection area where the staff is located is determined, and the ambient light intensity of the detection area is read.

[0104] Step SA3: Perform the second brightness determination: compare the ambient light intensity at the location of the staff member with the fourth set value;

[0105] Step SA4: If the ambient light intensity at the location of the staff member is lower than the fourth set value, the area with the ambient light intensity lower than the fourth set value is set as the third area, and the corresponding location parameters of the third area are obtained based on the staff member's location information.

[0106] Specifically, the ambient light intensity of the detection area where the staff is located is compared with the fourth set value. If it is lower than the fourth set value, the detection area is the third area. If the detection area where the staff is located is at the intersection of multiple detection areas, multiple detection areas are selected as the third area, and the position coordinates of this or these detection areas are obtained. The fourth set value is the ambient light intensity required for the gesture operation.

[0107] Step SA5: Select the corresponding supplementary lighting device on the drone based on the position parameters of the third area and the position parameters of the drone.

[0108] Specifically, select the drone that is closest to the third area in a straight line, and select the lighting device on the drone as the supplementary lighting device.

[0109] Step SA6: Adjust the illumination intensity of the supplementary lighting device according to the lowest light intensity in the third area, so that the ambient light intensity at the location of the worker is adjusted to the fourth set value.

[0110] Specifically, the main controller adjusts the light intensity of the supplementary lighting device to adjust the ambient light intensity of the third area to the fourth set value. If the expected value is not achieved, auxiliary lighting is provided to the third area through steps S510-S530.

[0111] Step SA7: Obtain hand gesture instructions from staff;

[0112] Step SA8: Control the lighting device on the drone and adjust the light intensity according to the staff's hand gestures.

[0113] Specifically, the system obtains the hand gestures of the staff through a color camera set in the detection area or a color camera on the drone, and then controls the lighting device on the drone and the light intensity according to the staff's hand gestures.

[0114] Reference Figure 5 Additionally, the lighting can be adapted to rainy and foggy weather by changing the color and intensity of the light emitted. Specific methods include:

[0115] Step SB1: Obtain the ambient humidity information of the lighting area, wherein the ambient humidity information includes the ambient humidity value;

[0116] Step SB2: Perform humidity value determination based on the ambient humidity information of the lighting area:

[0117] Compare the ambient humidity value with the first set value;

[0118] Step SB3: If the humidity value is greater than the first set value, control the lighting device to change the color of the light emitted by the lighting device.

[0119] Specifically, staff can install hygrometers in the lighting area. The hygrometers will transmit the detected humidity values ​​to the main control unit. The main control unit will compare the detected humidity values ​​with a first set value. If the humidity value is greater than the first set value, the lighting device will be controlled to change the color of the light emitted. The first set value can be 80%-90%. A humidity value greater than 80% indicates haze, and a humidity value greater than 90% indicates fog. In this case, the color of the light emitted by the lighting device will be changed to a light with strong penetrating power, such as red or yellow light, to avoid affecting the progress of staff's work such as power repair and nighttime construction.

[0120] Reference Figure 6 Step SC1: Obtain rainfall information for the illuminated area;

[0121] Step SC2: Calculate the change in rainfall over a specified time period based on the rainfall information of the illuminated area;

[0122] Step SC3: Perform rainfall determination operation:

[0123] Compare the change in rainfall with the second set value;

[0124] Step SC4: If the change in rainfall exceeds the second set value, control the lighting device to increase the light intensity.

[0125] Specifically, a rainfall detection device is installed in the lighting area to detect rainfall and calculate the difference between the rainfall before and after a specified time period as the rainfall change value. The specified time period can be pre-input by the user. The rainfall change value is compared with a second preset value. If the rainfall change value is greater than the second preset value, the lighting device is controlled to increase the light intensity. The industrial control computer stores the second preset values ​​corresponding to each light intensity level of the lighting device. For example, the second preset value for switching from the first to the second light intensity level is A, and the second preset value for switching from the third light intensity level is B. When the rainfall change value exceeds A, the main control computer controls the lighting device to switch from the first to the second light intensity level and maintain the second light intensity level; when the rainfall change value exceeds B, the controller controls the lighting device to switch from the second to the third light intensity level and maintain the third light intensity level.

[0126] Specifically, if the change in rainfall is ≤ A, the lighting device is in the first setting;

[0127] If A < change in rainfall ≤ B, then the lighting device is in the second setting.

[0128] If the change in rainfall is greater than B, then the lighting device is in the third setting.

[0129] When the rainfall change value drops to the corresponding range, the intensity of the lighting device decreases to the corresponding level.

[0130] In addition to adjusting the light intensity of the lighting device according to changes in rainfall, the light color of the lighting device can also be adjusted according to the humidity value.

[0131] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 In addition, staff can also control the lighting devices remotely via mobile devices or remote control devices. Specific methods include:

[0132] Step SD1: Obtain the illumination change command.

[0133] Specifically, users can obtain lighting change commands by triggering them through the human-computer interaction interface on the terminal.

[0134] Step SD2: Based on the illumination change command, obtain the position parameters of the illuminated area and the UAV within the effective illumination distance of the illuminated area, as well as the equipment information of the lighting device on the UAV;

[0135] Specifically, since there can be multiple drones responsible for lighting, the main controller obtains the position coordinates of drones near the lighting area. If a drone is within the lighting area, its position coordinates are obtained; if a drone is not within the lighting area, and the straight-line distance between the drone and the boundary of the lighting area is less than the effective illumination distance of the lighting device, its position coordinates are obtained, and the equipment information of the lighting devices on these drones is also obtained.

[0136] Step SD3: Based on the drone's position parameters and the equipment information of the drone's lighting device, display the lighting change interface on the human-machine interface, and generate lighting device controls on the lighting change interface.

[0137] Step SD4: Obtain the trigger command of the corresponding lighting device control, and generate a light color change control and a light intensity change control in the light change interface. The light color change control is used to change the light color emitted by the lighting device, and the light intensity change control is used to change the light intensity of the lighting device.

[0138] Specifically, when a staff member clicks on the lighting device control, a light color change control and a light intensity change control are generated on the lighting change interface. These can be draggable progress bars, which the staff member can drag to change the light color and light intensity of the lighting device.

[0139] Staff can also control the lighting devices in groups, and the control methods include:

[0140] Step SD5: Obtain the grouping instruction.

[0141] Specifically, users can obtain grouping instructions by triggering them through the human-computer interaction interface on the terminal.

[0142] Step SD6: Display the corresponding selection control next to the lighting device control according to the grouping instructions.

[0143] Specifically, after the staff clicks the grouping instruction, a corresponding selection control is generated next to each lighting device control.

[0144] Step SD7: Obtain the confirmation command for the corresponding selected control, record the selected lighting device, and generate a lighting device group control based on the selected lighting device.

[0145] Specifically, after the staff clicks on the selection control corresponding to the desired lighting device, they click "Confirm" to generate a lighting device group control on the human-computer interaction interface. This control is used to control the selected lighting devices simultaneously.

[0146] Step SD8: Obtain the trigger command for the lighting device group control, and generate a group color change control and a group intensity change control in the illumination change interface. The group color change control is used to change the emission color of the lighting device group, and the group intensity change control is used to change the illumination intensity of the lighting device group.

[0147] Specifically, after the staff clicks on the group control, a group light color change control and a group light intensity change control are generated on the lighting change interface. Specifically, these can be draggable progress bars, which the staff can drag to synchronously change the light color and light intensity of the lighting device group.

[0148] The implementation principle of the variable illumination control method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in this application embodiment is as follows: When the UAV is illuminating, it first acquires the ambient light intensity information and position parameters of the illumination area to facilitate positioning and illumination; then, based on the ambient light intensity information of the illumination area, it determines the ambient light intensity of the illumination area and judges whether the ambient light intensity is within a limited range, thereby determining whether the light intensity of the lighting device needs to be changed; if the minimum light intensity value is lower than the minimum value of the limited range, a first area is determined; if the maximum light intensity value is higher than the maximum value of the limited range, a second area is determined; then, UAVs within the effective illumination distance of the illumination area are acquired to facilitate the acquisition of UAVs that can illuminate the first or second area and the target lighting device on the UAV, thereby accurately locating the lighting device that needs to change the light intensity, saving energy; finally, the light intensity of the target lighting device is adjusted according to the limited range so that the ambient light intensity of the illumination area is adjusted to within the limited range, so that the lighting device on the UAV can automatically change the light intensity according to the ambient light brightness, thereby avoiding affecting the work of workers such as power repair and night construction.

[0152] The first brightness determination module is used to perform the first brightness determination: determining whether the ambient light intensity value of the lighting area is within the limited range; if the lowest ambient light intensity value of the lighting area is lower than the lowest value of the limited range, the area where the lowest light intensity value is located is set as the first area; if the highest light intensity value of the lighting area is higher than the highest value of the limited range, the area where the highest light intensity value is located is set as the second area, and the position parameters of the first area and the position parameters of the second area are obtained according to the position parameters of the lighting area.

[0153] The UAV location acquisition module is used to acquire the location parameters of the UAV within the lighting area and the effective illumination distance of the lighting area based on the location parameters of the lighting area.

[0154] The target illumination device module is used to select the target illumination device on the corresponding UAV based on the position parameters of the first area, the position parameters of the second area, and the position parameters of the UAV.

[0155] The brightness adjustment module is used to adjust the light intensity of the target lighting device according to the ambient light intensity of the lighting area and the defined range.
