The invention relates to the technical field of image recognition, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle relative
pose resolving method, which comprises the following steps of: constructing a mapping relation from a world coordinate
system to an image pixel coordinate
system based on an imaging model and internal and external parameters of a camera; the attitude angles, including a
yaw angle, a
pitch angle and a roll angle, of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the airport
runway are estimated by using the pixel coordinates of the left and right sidelines and the vanishing points of the
runway in the image in combination with the airport
runway structure model; based on the attitude angle
estimation result and the camera projection geometrical relationship, establishing an equation set, and solving the vertical height and
lateral deviation position parameters of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the runway by combining a sideline pixel linear equation in the image and a three-dimensional linear equation of the runway boundary. According to the method, a unified mapping model from a world coordinate
system to an image pixel coordinate system is established, an obtained attitude angle is combined with a
linear relation between images of left and right side lines of a runway and the world, a linear equation set is constructed, and the vertical height and the
lateral deviation distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle are solved.
