Mobile Terminal Drone Image Reproduction via Flight Path Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current drone control systems do not effectively share flight path information along with captured images, making it difficult for users to replicate specific images, as they only share image data without corresponding flight path data.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal equipped with a wireless communication unit, memory, and a controller that collects location information and sensing data from a drone, allowing users to receive and store image data and flight path information, enabling the capture and sharing of specific images by controlling the drone's camera motion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only image data is shared from the drone without flight path information, then the data transmission is simple and quick, but users cannot capture identical images because flight path information is missing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines image data and flight path information into a single integrated data package that is transmitted together from the drone to the mobile terminal. This merging ensures that both the visual content and the contextual flight data are available simultaneously, enabling users to replicate specific drone perspectives by analyzing the combined information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the shared data into distinct components: image data, flight path coordinates, camera motion information, and timestamp data. Each segment is processed and stored separately in the mobile terminal, allowing for efficient retrieval and analysis of specific elements like flight trajectory or camera angles when attempting to capture identical images.
2Measurement precision
If detailed sensing data and flight path information are collected and stored, then users can precisely reproduce specific images, but the memory and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential elements needed for image reproduction from the complete sensing data set. Specifically, it extracts flight path coordinates, camera motion parameters, and timestamp information, while storing the full high-resolution image data separately. This extraction approach provides sufficient information for replicating specific images without requiring storage of all raw sensing data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms complex sensing data into standardized parameter formats that are more efficient for storage and processing. Flight path information is converted to coordinate sequences, camera motion data is parameterized as rotation and translation values, and metadata is structured in standardized formats, reducing the overall data volume while maintaining reproduction accuracy.
