[0002] A drone is an unmanned, low-altitude aircraft that can fly flexibly in complex environments such as cities or mountains. Currently, drones are widely used in various fields such as agriculture and logistics distribution.

[0003] In the agricultural field, drones can use onboard sensors and cameras to collect images of crops in a target area for analysis of crop growth and pest and disease information. Typically, when a drone is performing a mission, it determines its flight path and then selects the drone capable of executing the flight path based on the distance of the flight path and the drone's real-time remaining battery power.

[0004] However, birds also fly in low-altitude airspace. During flight, drones need to avoid birds. If there are many birds, the drone is at greater risk and may crash. In addition, drones consume more power when avoiding birds.

[0056] S2: By analyzing the flight safety index of each monitoring area unit, a safety rating is given for each monitoring area unit;

[0057] S3: Then, by analyzing the safety rating results, departure location information data, and destination location information data of each monitoring area unit, the flight route is determined;

[0058] S4: Analyze the flight safety index of each monitoring area along the flight route to determine the flight route hazard index;

[0059] S5: Based on the flight route, the flight route hazard index, and the battery state coefficient of each aircraft, the minimum charge level required for each aircraft to perform this flight is obtained.

[0066] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment The average number of birds in flight within a preset time period past the current time for the nth monitoring area unit; The difference between the average number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit over the past preset time and the preset number of birds; in the formula In the first judgment function f(X), X refers to... when This indicates that the average number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit over the past preset time period has not exceeded the preset number of birds, meaning the number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit is relatively low, and the risk of collision is low. when If the number of birds exceeds the preset number of birds over the past preset time period, it indicates that the number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit is relatively high, and the risk of collision is greater. It is the ratio of the cumulative duration during which the number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit exceeds the first preset value within the current time to the preset duration; The ratio of the cumulative duration during which the number of birds exceeds a first preset value within a preset time period in the current monitoring area unit to the preset duration itself, and the first preset ratio, is the difference between these two values. (In the formula...) In the first judgment function f(X), X refers to... when This indicates that the cumulative duration during which the number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit exceeds the first preset value within the past preset time is relatively short, therefore the safety risk is relatively low. when This indicates that the cumulative duration for which the number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit has exceeded the first preset value within the past preset time is relatively long, thus posing a significant safety risk.

[0067] It should be noted that the preset duration Δt, preset number of birds Q1, and first preset ratio δ0 are preset values ​​obtained based on experience, and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] As one embodiment of the present invention, the safety rating process for the nth monitoring area unit is as follows:

[0069] When P n When = 0, the nth monitoring area unit is a safe area;

[0070] When P n When the value is 1, the nth monitoring area unit is a low-risk area;

[0071] When P n When the value is 2, the nth monitoring area unit is a high-risk area;

[0072] Through the above technical solution, in this embodiment, when the average number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit exceeds the preset number of birds within the current time and the cumulative time for the number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit to exceed the first preset value is relatively long, then P... n =2, the nth monitoring area unit is a high-risk area; when the average number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit over the past preset time exceeds the preset number of birds, or when the cumulative time for the number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit to exceed the first preset value over the past preset time is relatively long, i.e., P n When P = 1, the nth monitoring area unit is a low-risk area; when the average number of birds in the nth monitoring area unit over the past preset time does not exceed the preset number of birds and the cumulative time over the past preset time of the nth monitoring area unit does not exceed the first preset value is relatively long, then P n =0, the nth monitoring area unit is a safe area.

[0073] As one embodiment of the present invention, the formula is as follows:

[0074]

[0075] Calculate the flight path hazard index F;

[0076] Where A is the number of low-risk areas traversed by the flight route, a∈A; S a S is the length of the flight path passing through the a-th low-risk area; ALL C1 is the total length of the flight path; C2 is the first preset constant.

[0077] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment This is the cumulative length of the flight route through all low-risk areas. This is the ratio of the cumulative length of the flight route passing through all low-risk areas to the total length of the flight route; the ratio of the cumulative length of the flight route passing through all low-risk areas to the total length of the flight route. The larger the value, the greater the flight route hazard index F; the ratio of the cumulative length of the flight route through all low-risk areas to the total length of the flight route. The smaller the value, the lower the flight path hazard index F;

[0078] It should be noted that the first preset constant C1 is a preset value obtained based on experience, and will not be described in detail here.

[0079] As one embodiment of the present invention, the formula is as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Calculate the minimum battery power B required for the m-th aircraft to perform this flight. mL ;

[0082] Among them, B m (S ALL ) represents the basic electrical energy consumed by the m-th aircraft during its flight path; δ mB Let δ be the battery state coefficient of the m-th aircraft, 0 ≤ δ mB ≤1; C2 is the second preset constant; R m For task status coefficients;

[0083] Through the above technical solution, the task status in this embodiment is divided into a waiting task status and an executing task status, with a waiting task status coefficient of 1 and an executing task status coefficient of 0; then, by using preset basic power consumption curves of various types of aircraft as a function of flight distance; the distance S is obtained based on the basic power consumption curves. ALL Basic power consumption; battery state coefficient δ of the m-th spacecraft mB The smaller the value, the worse the battery condition; for the same flight distance, the battery drains faster. Therefore, the minimum battery level required for the m-th aircraft to perform this flight is higher. mL The higher the flight path hazard index F, the more risks the aircraft needs to avoid, and the more power the aircraft needs to consume to avoid these risks. Therefore, the minimum power required for the m-th aircraft to perform this flight is higher, B. mL The battery state coefficient δ of the m-th spacecraft m The method of obtaining x is based on existing technology and will not be detailed here;

[0084] It should be noted that the second preset constant C2 is a preset value obtained based on experience, and will not be described in detail here.

[0085] As one embodiment of the present invention, the process for determining whether the current flight route can be executed is as follows:

[0086] The remaining battery power of the m-th aircraft is compared with the minimum battery power B required for the m-th aircraft to perform this flight. mL Compare;

[0087] When B my ≥B mL At that time, the m-th aircraft is able to perform this flight;

[0088] Otherwise, the m-th spacecraft cannot perform this flight;

[0089] Using the above technical solution, this embodiment combines the remaining battery power of the m-th aircraft with the minimum battery power B required for the m-th aircraft to perform this flight. mL Compare; when B my ≥B mL When this occurs, it indicates that the m-th aircraft is in a waiting state and its battery level exceeds the minimum battery level B required for the m-th aircraft to perform this flight. mL Therefore, it was able to carry out this flight.
