Problems solved by technology

[0022] However, transmitting a complete image of the scene in 360° with the required resolution from the UAV to the ground station requires a large amount of bandwidth, which is not compatible with the relatively limited operating data rate of the transmission channel between the UAV and the ground station

Embodiment Construction

[0047] An "immersive mode" or "FPV" filming system in accordance with the present invention includes a drone equipped with a set of filming cameras and ground equipment that communicates with the drone via an appropriate range wireless link and includes virtual reality goggles , which virtual reality glasses have means for rendering images in front of the user's eyes in the most realistic way possible to give him the feeling of flying on a drone.

[0048] The camera that equips the drone is a wide-field camera, such as a camera with a fisheye-type optical system, that is, a hemispherical field-of-view lens that covers a field of view of about 180°.

[0049] In the first embodiment of the present invention, and referring tofigure 1 , the UAV 10 has three shooting cameras 110 , 121 and 122 .

[0050] The first camera (ie, the main camera) 110 has a fisheye lens whose visual axis A19 faces forward. It has a large sensor with a large number of pixels, usually from 8 to 20 megapix...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a video system for piloting a drone in an immersive mode. The system comprises the drone and a remote station provided with virtual reality glasses rendering images transmitted from the drone, and provided with means for detecting changes of orientation of the user's head. The drone generates a viewpoint image (P'1) and a bird's eye image (P'2) whose field is wider and whose definition is lower. When the sight axis of the viewpoint image is modified in response to changes of position of the user's head, the station generates locally during the movement of the user's head a combination of the current viewpoint and bird's eye images, with outlines (CO') adjusted as a function of the changes of position detected by the detection means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to remotely controlled mobile devices, hereinafter generally referred to as "drones". Background technique [0002] They can be flying drones, especially rotary wing drones, such as helicopters, quadcopters, etc. However, the invention is not limited to piloting flying devices and exchanging data with them; it also applies to rolling devices advancing on the ground under the control of a remote user, the term "drone" must be understood in its broadest sense. [0003] A typical example of a flying drone is the AR.Drone2.0 or Bebop of ParrotSA in Paris, France, which is equipped with a series of sensors (accelerometer, 3-axis gyrometer, altimeter) that capture images of the scene the drone is facing A forward-facing camera and a top-down camera that captures images of the ground-flying four-prop helicopter. [0004] Documents WO2010 / 061099A2 and EP2364757A1 (Parrot SA) describe such drones and their piloting principles via...
