Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical lenses, and specifically relates to a visible light lens for low-altitude aerial photography, which is especially suitable for the fields of aerial mapping and reconnaissance of unmanned aerial vehicles and can realize aerial imaging under a field of view of 80 degrees. Background Art
[0002] The aviation field requires the lens to clearly image ground targets at high altitudes, with constantly changing parameters such as ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. When drones are used, the aerial mapping lens used by drones has strict requirements on the imaging field of view, imaging transfer function and weight. In addition, drones should be adapted to all-weather imaging under complex climatic conditions. Consistent imaging in daytime, night, fog or wind and rain directly affects the wide use of drones. At the same time, wide-angle lenses can expand the search range and improve search efficiency, but at the same time they will cause distortion and a decrease in imaging quality.
[0003] At present, the optical design of aerial mapping lenses cannot meet the actual needs, and the lens standardization is low. In particular, in order to improve the search efficiency, the use of large field of view lenses generally has poor image quality, distortion, clarity and saturation, etc., which cannot meet the actual requirements of aerial ground photography. This has greatly increased the limitations of drone aerial mapping and reconnaissance. Utility Model Content

The lens has a simple structure, a fixed field of view of 80°, a high imaging transfer function and low distortion. Since its field of view is fixed at 80°, it can be disassembled and assembled on the drone at any time according to the usage as a standard lens, to achieve a wide-angle search with a field of view of 80°, to expand the search range, and to cooperate with other small field of view lenses to achieve the search-precise positioning function.
