Aircraft Illuminating Device Attitude Control for Image Acquisition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Unmanned aircrafts struggle to capture high-quality images or videos at night or in weak light environments due to the mismatch between the illumination area and the photographing area of the image acquisition apparatus.
Innovation Solution
A control method and apparatus that obtain attitude data of the image acquisition apparatus to rotate the illuminating device, ensuring the illumination area matches the photographing area, thereby improving light compensation for the captured object.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the illuminating device is mounted on the aircraft without attitude synchronization, then the device structure is simple, but the illumination area does not match the photographing area in low-light conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The control system receives attitude data from the image acquisition apparatus and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the illumination device's attitude, ensuring the illumination area matches the photographing area without requiring complex manual coordination
Solution Approach 2:
The control system merges the attitude control functions of both the image acquisition apparatus and the illuminating device, allowing them to operate as a coordinated unit that automatically adapts to attitude changes
2Reliability
If the illuminating device rotates to match the photographing area, then the illumination quality improves, but the control system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses real-time attitude data feedback from the image acquisition apparatus to automatically control the rotation and positioning of the illuminating device, ensuring reliable illumination matching without complex manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The illuminating device automatically adjusts its own attitude based on received attitude data, performing self-positioning to match the photographing area without requiring external manual control
