Multi-View Flight Route Display for Crane Inspection Drones
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is challenging to accurately confirm the flight route of a flying object, such as a drone, around a crane due to its complex structure with many members like ropes and booms, making it difficult to visualize the route effectively.
Innovation Solution
A display device and route display program that show the crane and the flight route of a flying object from at least two different directions, allowing for detailed visualization and editing of the flight route, including setting safe paths and photographing points, using a system that includes a management server, information terminals, and a moving body equipped with sensors and cameras.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a flying object is used to inspect a crane, then inspection capability is improved, but it becomes difficult to accurately confirm the flight route due to the crane's complex structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays the flight route from multiple directions (front view, side view, top view) simultaneously on the display unit. This multi-dimensional visualization approach allows operators to accurately confirm the flight route despite the crane's complex three-dimensional structure with ropes and booms, resolving the difficulty of route confirmation while maintaining inspection capability
2Ease of operation
If the flight route is displayed from a single direction, then the display is simple, but it is difficult to accurately confirm the route around a complex structure
Solution Approach 1:
The system simultaneously displays the flight route from multiple directions (front, side, top views) on the display unit. This multi-perspective visualization maintains operational simplicity while dramatically improving route confirmation accuracy by allowing operators to view the route from all necessary angles around the complex crane structure
3Measurement precision
If multiple display modes are used to show the flight route from different directions, then route confirmation accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple display perspectives (front view, side view, top view) into a single integrated display unit that shows all views simultaneously. This merging approach maintains route confirmation accuracy by providing multi-directional visualization while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate display systems or complex switching mechanisms

AI summary
A display device includes a display unit, and a control unit that displays a flight route of a flying object flying while photographing surroundings of a crane on the display unit. The control unit is configured to display the crane and the flight route on the display unit, and to display the flight route in a display mode viewed from at least two different directions.
