Mobile Platform POI Circling Control With Target Estimation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of controlling a mobile platform, such as a UAV, to circle a target is complex and requires improved convenience for effective execution.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for controlling a mobile platform that includes a processor and memory to execute instructions for entering a point of interest (POI) circle mode, comprising a target determination phase, a target estimation phase, and a circling phase in sequence, allowing the mobile platform to determine, detect, and circle a target based on its position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional manual control methods are used to circle a target, then the mobile platform can reach the target, but the control process is complex and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile platform automatically determines its own position, estimates target position, and executes circling maneuvers without continuous manual intervention. The system uses its own sensors and processors to autonomously complete the circling task once initiated by the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically determining platform position and estimating target position before executing the circling maneuver. These preparatory steps are automated to simplify the user's interaction to just initiating the command.
2Ease of operation
If automated POI circle mode is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision of target position is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from position determination and target estimation phases to adjust and refine the circling execution. The mobile platform continuously monitors its position and the estimated target position to maintain accurate circling behavior.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a device for controlling a mobile platform. The device includes a processor; and a memory storing program instructions that, when being executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an instruction to enter a point of interest (POI) circle mode; and enter the POI circle mode, the POI circle mode including a target determination phase, a target estimation phase, and a circling phase in sequence. The mobile platform determines a circling target during the target determination phase. The mobile platform detects a position of the circling target during the target estimation phase. The mobile platform circles the circling target based on the position of the circling target during the circling phase.
