Autonomous Drone Aerial Shooting Path Planning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current drone aerial shooting methods rely heavily on manual operation, making it difficult to maintain an optimal aerial path and consistent flight speed, leading to complex and error-prone operations that can result in loss of control or crashes.
Innovation Solution
An automated drone aerial shooting system that presets an aerial path, generates operation instructions, marks waypoints, plans a flight path, and allows the drone to fly and shoot autonomously, with manual control options for flight attitude and camera angle during automatic flight.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual operation is used to control the drone along preset waypoints, then the drone can follow the aerial path, but it is difficult to maintain consistent flight speed and optimal aerial path
Solution Approach 1:
The drone is equipped with autonomous control capabilities that enable it to automatically follow preset waypoints and maintain consistent flight speed without continuous manual intervention. The system self-regulates flight parameters based on pre-programmed instructions, eliminating the need for the operator to manually adjust controls during flight.
Solution Approach 2:
The flight path and waypoints are preset before the aerial shooting mission begins. The operator pre-configures the autonomous flight parameters, including speed and altitude, in advance. This preliminary setup allows the drone to execute the mission automatically, ensuring consistent flight path adherence without requiring real-time manual adjustments.
2Productivity
If the drone flyer manually controls the drone to fly and shoot simultaneously, then aerial shooting can be performed, but the operation becomes highly complicated and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The aerial shooting task is divided into separate functional modules: autonomous flight control, camera operation, and mission management. The flight function is automated through preset waypoints and autonomous navigation, while camera control is handled as a separate automated function. This segmentation allows each module to operate independently, reducing the overall system complexity and eliminating the need for simultaneous manual coordination of multiple functions.
Solution Approach 2:
An autonomous control system acts as an intermediary between the operator and the drone's flight and shooting functions. The operator inputs mission parameters and preset waypoints, and the autonomous control system translates these into coordinated flight and camera operations. This intermediary layer automates the complex coordination required for simultaneous flight and shooting, reducing operational complexity while maintaining full aerial shooting capability.
