The invention discloses a Ubuntu-based
control system and method for improving the flight efficiency of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The
system is composed of an acquisition device, an unmanned aerialvehicle, a flight control device, a
wireless data transmission device, a
wireless image transmission device, a PC-side
ground station. The acquisition device arranged at the unmanned aerial vehicle isused for collecting a large-area panoramic image around the unmanned aerial vehicle and sending the panoramic image data to the flight control device; the flight control device arranged at the unmanned aerial vehicle is used for controlling the
flight track of the unmanned aerial vehicle and sending the panoramic image data to the PC-side
ground station; the PC-side
ground station is used for displaying the panoramic image collected by the acquisition device; the
wireless data transmission device is used for transmitting flight parameters between the PC-side ground
station and the flight control device; and the
wireless image transmission device is used for transmitting panoramic image data between the PC-side ground
station and the flight control device. Therefore, the unmanned aerial vehicle is able to increase the
flight speed when flying over a non-interest area and reduce the
flight speed when flying over an area of interest, so that the
electricity of the battery is saved and the flight efficiency is improved.
