A UAV system and method with continuous target locking and tracking capability

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle system and method capable of continuously locking and tracking targets. Including UAV, UAV supporting remote control and PC host computer; UAV is loaded with GPS positioning module, barometer, gyroscope, flight controller, ultrasonic detector and pan-tilt mechanism with camera; The UAV system performs automatic cruising to find the target, and automatically adjusts the flight position during the automatic cruising process. After the UAV finds the target, the automatic cruising ends, and the target is continuously locked and tracked. The invention can not only reduce the manpower and material resources in the target tracking task, but also can improve the tracking efficiency and complete the tracking task.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle system with tracking capability, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle system and method with the ability to continuously lock and track targets. Background technique [0002] In real life and work, in the process of performing some specific tasks, such as traffic monitoring, disaster relief, suspect tracking, etc., it is often necessary to be able to find and continuously track specific targets. Many tracking relies on monitoring all over the streets and alleys The camera searches and then relies on manpower to track, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. It will also be affected by real conditions such as monitoring blind spots and easy exposure, thereby reducing work efficiency. [0003] With the continuous advancement and development of UAV technology, its application fields are expanding. UAVs have been initially used in the field of target positioning and targe...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] In real life and work, in the process of performing some specific tasks, such as traffic monitoring, disaster relief, suspect tracking, etc., it is often necessary to be able to find and continuously track specific targets. Many tracking relies on monitoring all over the streets and alleys The camera searches and then relies on manpower to track, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources

It will also be affected by real conditions such as monitoring blind spots and easy exposure, thereby reducing work efficiency

[0003] With the continuous advancement and development of UAV technology, its application fields are expanding. UAVs have been initially used in the field of target positioning and target tracking, but when UAVs perform such tasks, once the target takes an emergency When stopping, suddenly accelerating, turning, etc., the drone may cause the target to leave the monitoring range due to flight inertia and other reasons. Once the target leaves the monitoring range, the drone will need to find the target and track it again. This process will be very difficult, so that the failure of the tracking task, therefore, there is an urgent need for a
