Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, medium and equipment for controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on multi-system collaboration. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the rapid development of technology, the application fields of drones are becoming increasingly widespread, and it is quite common for many industries to use drones to replace manual labor in production. However, most existing drones still rely on a single communication link. Using a single communication link can easily lead to loss of connection with the drone in some extreme or remote areas with poor signal, causing the drone to go out of control and potentially resulting in economic damage or accidents. Secondly, during the operation of a drone, if multiple systems (such as ground, cloud, or mobile terminals) issue task commands to the drone simultaneously, conflicts in these commands can also cause abnormal drone operation.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drone control method based on multi-system collaboration. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide a method, apparatus, medium and device for controlling unmanned aerial vehicles based on multi-system cooperation to overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, or may be learned in part by practice of the invention.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a multi-system collaborative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method is provided, the multi-system collaborative UAV control method comprising:

[0009] The system determines whether a drone control command has been received. If no drone control command has been received, the target drone is switched from the current main link to the optimal link. If a drone control command has been received, the drone control command is parsed, and the target alternative link and target task of the target drone are determined. The target drone is then switched from the current main link to the target alternative link and executes the target task. The drone control command includes ground station control commands, mobile terminal control commands, and cloud control commands.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the location information of the target UAV includes the BeiDou positioning information of the target UAV and the distance between the target UAV and the controller; the link quality information of the target UAV includes the 4G / 5G signal strength of the current area, the signal-to-noise ratio of the BeiDou satellite, the latency of the self-organizing network, and the success rate of visual feature point matching; the environmental information of the target UAV includes the terrain complexity index.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of judging the link stability of the target UAV based on the acquired location information, link quality information, and environmental information, and determining the current alternative links and optimal links of the target UAV, includes:

[0012] When the distance between the target drone and the controller does not exceed the signal range of the controller, the optimal link for the target drone is the self-organizing network link, and the alternative links include the Beidou satellite link and the 4G / 5G communication link; when the delay of the self-organizing network link is greater than a preset delay threshold, the target drone is switched to the alternative link.

[0014] When the success rate of matching the visual feature points is less than the preset success rate threshold, the visual navigation is disabled. The current optimal link for the target UAV is the Beidou satellite link, and alternative links include 4G / 5G communication links.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of parsing the UAV control command and determining the target alternative link and target task of the target UAV when the UAV control command is obtained, and switching the target UAV from the current main link to the target alternative link and executing the target task includes:

[0016] When the UAV control command is obtained, if the UAV control command includes at least two of the ground station control command, mobile terminal control command and cloud control command, then it is determined whether the target tasks in the multiple UAV control commands conflict.

[0017] If there is no conflict among the target tasks in the multiple UAV control commands, the system will switch to the target alternative link and execute the target task in the order in which the multiple UAV control commands are acquired.

[0018] If a conflict arises among the target tasks in multiple UAV control commands, the target tasks shall be executed sequentially according to the priority of the UAV control commands, wherein the priority of the UAV control commands is: ground station control commands > mobile terminal control commands > cloud control commands.

[0019] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a multi-system collaborative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control device is provided, the multi-system collaborative UAV control device comprising:

[0020] The data acquisition module is used to acquire the target UAV's location information, link quality information, and environmental information in real time;

[0021] The link evaluation module is used to judge the link stability of the target UAV based on the acquired location information, link quality information and environmental information, and to determine the current alternative links and the optimal link of the target UAV.

[0022] The instruction execution module is used to determine whether a drone control instruction has been acquired. If the drone control instruction has not been acquired, the module switches the target drone from the current main link to the optimal link. If the drone control instruction has been acquired, the module parses the drone control instruction and determines the target alternative link and target task for the target drone. The module then switches the target drone from the current main link to the target alternative link and executes the target task. The drone control instruction includes ground station control instructions, mobile terminal control instructions, and cloud control instructions.

[0025] When the distance between the target drone and the controller does not exceed the signal range of the controller, the optimal link for the target drone is the self-organizing network link, and the alternative links include the Beidou satellite link and the 4G / 5G communication link; when the delay of the self-organizing network link is greater than a preset delay threshold, the target drone is switched to the alternative link.

[0027] When the success rate of matching the visual feature points is less than the preset success rate threshold, the visual navigation is disabled. The current optimal link for the target UAV is the Beidou satellite link, and alternative links include 4G / 5G communication links.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the instruction execution module receives the UAV control instruction, it parses the UAV control instruction and determines the target alternative link and target task of the target UAV, and switches the target UAV from the current main link to the target alternative link and executes the target task, including:

[0029] When the UAV control command is obtained, if the UAV control command includes at least two of the ground station control command, mobile terminal control command and cloud control command, then it is determined whether the target tasks in the multiple UAV control commands conflict.

[0030] If there is no conflict among the target tasks in the multiple UAV control commands, the system will switch to the target alternative link and execute the target task in the order in which the multiple UAV control commands are acquired.

[0031] If a conflict arises among the target tasks in multiple UAV control commands, the target tasks shall be executed sequentially according to the priority of the UAV control commands, wherein the priority of the UAV control commands is: ground station control commands > mobile terminal control commands > cloud control commands.

[0044] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a multi-system collaborative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the UAV control method based on multi-system collaboration includes the following steps:

[0045] S1. Real-time acquisition of the target drone's location information, link quality information, and environmental information;

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the location information of the target drone includes the BeiDou positioning information of the target drone and the distance between the target drone and the controller; the link quality information of the target drone includes the 4G / 5G signal strength of the current area, the signal-to-noise ratio of the BeiDou satellite, the latency of the self-organizing network, and the success rate of visual feature point matching; the environmental information of the target drone includes the terrain complexity index.

[0047] S2. Based on the acquired location information, link quality information, and environmental information, the link stability of the target UAV is judged, and the current alternative links and the optimal link of the target UAV are determined.

[0048] In step S2, this embodiment of the invention determines the link stability of the target UAV based on the acquired location information, link quality information, and environmental information, and determines the current alternative links and optimal links of the target UAV, including:

[0049] When the distance between the target drone and the controller is within the signal range of the controller, the target drone preferably communicates via a self-organizing network link. When the distance between the target drone and the controller exceeds the signal range of the controller, the optimal link is determined based on the signal-to-noise ratio of the BeiDou satellite link and the 4G / 5G signal strength of the 4G / 5G communication link. For example, when the distance between the target drone and the controller is within the signal range of the controller, the current optimal link for the target drone is the self-organizing network link, and alternative links include the BeiDou satellite link and the 4G / 5G communication link; when the delay of the self-organizing network link is greater than a preset delay threshold, the target drone is switched to an alternative link.

[0050] When the distance between the target drone and the controller exceeds the signal range of the controller, the optimal link for the target drone is the BeiDou satellite link, and alternative links include 4G / 5G communication links and visual navigation. If the signal-to-noise ratio of the BeiDou satellite link is less than 10dB and lasts for three sampling cycles (e.g., 0.5s per sampling cycle), the target drone will switch to the 4G / 5G communication link. If the 4G / 5G signal strength of the 4G / 5G communication link is less than -110dBm, the target drone will switch to visual navigation. That is, after the target drone fails in the self-organizing network link, the BeiDou satellite link, and the 4G / 5G communication link, it will switch to visual navigation to return home until it reconnects to any of the aforementioned links.

[0051] After the target UAV switches to the visual navigation, this embodiment of the invention can load the flight trajectory and video cache data recently recorded by the target UAV, arrange the stored flight trajectory points in reverse chronological order, calculate the yaw angle based on the vectors of adjacent points, and finally perform real-time positioning and map construction matching between the real-time image features and the stored data to calculate the pose deviation and achieve visual-assisted correction.

[0052] If the terrain complexity index is greater than 0.7, the optimal link for the target UAV is the BeiDou satellite link and visual navigation, and the alternative links include 4G / 5G communication links. In scenarios where the terrain complexity index is greater than 0.7 (mountainous / forest environment), this embodiment of the invention activates the visual navigation-assisted positioning link to form a multi-source heterogeneous fusion positioning with the BeiDou satellite link, which can achieve stable communication in areas with complex terrain.

[0053] Since visual navigation cannot be properly activated when the visual feature point matching success rate is too low, the visual navigation is disabled in this embodiment of the invention when the visual feature point matching success rate is less than a preset matching success rate threshold (e.g., 70% to 90%). The current optimal link for the target UAV is the Beidou satellite link, and alternative links include 4G / 5G communication links.

[0054] S3. Determine whether a drone control command has been obtained. If the drone control command has not been obtained, switch the target drone from the current main link to the optimal link. If the drone control command has been obtained, parse the drone control command and determine the target alternative link and target task of the target drone. Switch the target drone from the current main link to the target alternative link and execute the target task. The drone control command includes ground station control command, mobile terminal control command and cloud control command.

[0055] In step S3, when the UAV control command is obtained, this embodiment of the invention parses the UAV control command and determines the target alternative link and target task of the target UAV, and switches the target UAV from the current main link to the target alternative link and executes the target task, including:

[0056] When the drone control command is obtained, if the drone control command includes at least two of the ground station control command, mobile terminal control command, and cloud control command, then it is determined whether there is a conflict among the target tasks of the multiple drone control commands; the conflict of the target tasks is, for example, one drone control command controls the target drone to ascend while another drone control command controls the target drone to descend.

[0057] If the target tasks in the multiple UAV control commands do not conflict, the target task is switched to the alternative link in the order in which the multiple UAV control commands are acquired and the target task is executed. Since different target tasks may require different links, for example, if the target task requires high bandwidth and low latency, the optimal link is switched to according to the link quality information corresponding to the alternative link (which may be one or more of the self-organizing network link, Beidou satellite link or 4G / 5G communication link), and the optimal link is used as the target alternative link.

[0058] If the target tasks in multiple UAV control commands conflict, the target tasks are executed sequentially according to the priority of the UAV control commands, wherein the priority of the UAV control commands is ground station control commands > mobile terminal control commands > cloud control commands; that is, when the target tasks in multiple UAV control commands conflict, if a ground station control command exists, the ground station control command is executed first, followed by the mobile terminal control command and then the cloud control command; if no ground station control command exists, the mobile terminal control command is executed first, followed by the cloud control command.

[0059] The UAV control method based on multi-system collaboration described in this invention uses real-time acquired target UAV location information, link quality information, and environmental information to determine link stability and automatically switches to the optimal link to ensure stable communication quality. It also comprehensively judges the UAV control commands from multiple systems to determine the link switching and task command execution of the UAV, greatly improving the efficiency of command execution and the reliability of link switching.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments, as a supplement to the above... Figure 1 The present invention provides an embodiment of a UAV control device based on multi-system collaboration, which is similar to the method shown. Figure 1 Corresponding to the method embodiments shown, this device can be specifically applied to various electronic devices, see reference.

[0063] The instruction execution module 300 is used to determine whether a UAV control instruction has been acquired. If the UAV control instruction has not been acquired, the module switches the target UAV from the current main link to the optimal link. If the UAV control instruction is acquired, the module parses the UAV control instruction and determines the target alternative link and target task for the target UAV. The module then switches the target UAV from the current main link to the target alternative link and executes the target task. The UAV control instruction includes ground station control instructions, mobile terminal control instructions, and cloud control instructions.

[0066] When the distance between the target drone and the controller does not exceed the signal range of the controller, the optimal link for the target drone is the self-organizing network link, and the alternative links include the Beidou satellite link and the 4G / 5G communication link; when the delay of the self-organizing network link is greater than a preset delay threshold, the target drone is switched to the alternative link.

[0067] When the distance between the target drone and the controller exceeds the signal range of the controller, the optimal link for the target drone is the BeiDou satellite link, with alternative links including 4G / 5G communication links and visual navigation; if the signal-to-noise ratio of the BeiDou satellite link is less than 10dB and lasts for three sampling cycles, the target drone is switched to the 4G / 5G communication link; if the 4G / 5G signal strength of the 4G / 5G communication link is less than -110dBm, the target drone is switched to visual navigation; if the terrain complexity index is greater than 0.7, the optimal link for the target drone is the BeiDou satellite link and visual navigation, with alternative links including 4G / 5G communication links.

[0068] When the success rate of matching the visual feature points is less than the preset success rate threshold, the visual navigation is disabled. The current optimal link for the target UAV is the Beidou satellite link, and alternative links include 4G / 5G communication links.

[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, when the instruction execution module 300 receives the UAV control instruction, it parses the UAV control instruction and determines the target alternative link and target task of the target UAV, and switches the target UAV from the current main link to the target alternative link and executes the target task, including:

[0070] When the UAV control command is obtained, if the UAV control command includes at least two of the ground station control command, mobile terminal control command and cloud control command, then it is determined whether the target tasks in the multiple UAV control commands conflict.

[0071] If there is no conflict among the target tasks in the multiple UAV control commands, the system will switch to the target alternative link and execute the target task in the order in which the multiple UAV control commands are acquired.

[0072] If a conflict arises among the target tasks in multiple UAV control commands, the target tasks shall be executed sequentially according to the priority of the UAV control commands, wherein the priority of the UAV control commands is: ground station control commands > mobile terminal control commands > cloud control commands.
