[0024] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0025] In the present invention, unless otherwise stated, directional words contained in terms such as "up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside" merely represent the orientation of the terms in normal usage, or are common names understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the terms.

[0026] See also Figure 1-2 The low-altitude flying channel drone shown in the figure comprises a drone body 3 and a control terminal; an image acquisition camera is arranged on the drone body 3, and the image acquisition camera is arranged to be able to perform 360° image acquisition with a set person 2 as the center; the control terminal is used to receive the acquired image information and convert the image information into a simulated image 4 and display it on the touch display panel 1 of the control terminal; the touch display panel 1 is provided with a plurality of virtual direction guide arrows 5 radiating with the simulated image 4 as the center, and a height ruler 6 arranged on one side of the simulated image 4; sliding the virtual direction guide arrow 5 outward corresponds to a preset shooting direction, and sliding the height ruler 6 upward corresponds to a preset height.

[0027] Through the implementation of the above technical solution, the photographer only needs to set the person 2 to capture, preset the shooting angle and shooting height to command the drone body 3 to perform the autonomous shooting task, without requiring the person being photographed to perform frequent operations and complicated scene finding during shooting. The photographer can set the person being photographed, leaving both hands free for more shooting actions. In addition, multiple groups of preset angles and heights can be set, and the set person 2 can communicate with the control terminal through voice during the shooting process. For example, if a "perform the next shooting action" command is issued, the drone body 3 will perform the next shooting preset.

[0028] In this embodiment, the simulated image 4 is distributed in a ring shape, and is divided into a plurality of segments corresponding to each of the virtual direction indicating arrows 5, and long pressing each segment can enlarge the segment for display. Through such a setting, the photographer can clearly judge and select the framing angle.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to enable safer filming, the low-altitude flying channel drone also includes a radar warning device disposed on the drone body 3, and the radar warning device is configured to automatically send an avoidance instruction when an obstacle is detected.

[0030] In this embodiment, the height ruler 6 is provided with a plurality of nodes, and when the height ruler 6 is slid to a corresponding node, the drone performs circumferential shooting at the height with the set person 2 as the center. With such a setting, the drone body 3 can perform circular shooting around the set person 2 of the shooting target as the center. Since the image of the set person 2 is collected before shooting, the image collection camera can track the person in real time and correct the position in time, and the image also keeps the set person 2 in the frame at any time.

[0031] In this embodiment, the node height is set to be customizable. Through such a setting, the node height can be customized and shooting can be performed according to one's own needs.

[0032] In this embodiment, the height ruler 6 is in a vertical direction or an arc direction extending upward. Through such an arrangement, the drone body 3 enlarges the actual flight path in proportion to the rising direction of the height ruler 6, thereby capturing more effects.

[0033] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a low-altitude flight channel management method, comprising:

[0034] S1, identifying a set person 2 through an image acquisition camera set on the drone body 3, and performing a 360° flight with the set person 2 as the center through the drone body 3 to collect distant image information;

[0035] S2, transmitting the collected image information to the control terminal via wireless transmission, and converting the image information into a simulated image 4 through a processor of the control terminal and displaying it on a touch display panel 1 of the control terminal;

[0036] S3, calling the use mode as "low-altitude flight shooting mode" so that a plurality of virtual direction guidance arrows 5 and an altitude ruler 6 are displayed on the touch display panel 1;

[0037] S3, preset the shooting angle and shooting height of the drone by sliding a virtual direction indicator arrow 5 and sliding the height scale 6;

[0038] S4, the drone performs low-altitude flight shooting according to the set shooting angle and shooting height, and stores the shot images.

[0039] In this embodiment, in step S4, when an obstacle is encountered during the flight of shooting, it is sensed by the radar warning device and an avoidance procedure is executed.
