Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the increasing maturity of UAV technology, its application in the field of surveying and mapping is becoming more and more extensive. UAV aerial surveying and mapping has the advantages of high accuracy, high efficiency, and the ability to analyze data. UAV aerial surveying and mapping is mainly completed by a surveying and mapping camera installed in a pod under the aircraft. UAVs can take pictures in cloudy weather, fly at low altitudes, and can obtain high-resolution and high-clarity image information. At the same time, UAVs fly slowly, with a speed of dozens of kilometers per hour, and can flexibly cope with complex terrain conditions to obtain accurate images. Most of the surveying and mapping pods of ordinary UAVs have the phenomenon of unstable surveying and mapping cameras. In aerial surveying projects, there are defects such as jitter in the captured images, which bring many adverse factors to aerial surveying and mapping, resulting in the problem that the vibration of the lens during shooting makes the image unstable and affects the shooting quality.
