The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle obstacle avoidance method based on a binocular vision system. A binocular vision system acquires image information to obtain depth map information; with an ecological method, denoising is performed on the depth map by combining an exponential weighted moving average algorithm; an obstacle contour is extracted according to a threshold segmentationalgorithm based on region growing and fitting is performed by using a rectangular box to obtain a parallax value; an obstacle distance is calculated by the similar triangle theorem; the obtained distance is transmitted to a flight controller and is compared with a preset threshold distance, different commands are sent out, and then an unmanned aerial vehicle completes obstacle avoidance at accurate timing. According to the invention, on the basis of combination of the morphological method with the exponential weighted moving average algorithm, the denoising degree of the depth map is increased, the calculation accuracy of the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the obstacle is improved, the fast visual obstacle avoidance capability of the unmanned aerial vehicle is enhanced, and the accuracy is greatly improved by being compared with the existing algorithms.

An artificial cave has various features that resemble speleothems (e.g., stalactites, stalagmites, etc.) found in real subterranean caves. Human users may pass through the artificial cave, with each user wearing a wearable transceiver that broadcasts a signal code unique to that user. Fixed transceivers throughout the cave can detect and identify any user who is sufficiently close to that fixed transceiver. Other components of the system collect user identification information from the fixed transceivers for any of several possible purposes (e.g., identifying which user was probably responsible for inappropriate interaction with a speleothem that is adjacent to a given fixed transceiver, where all of the various user of the cave are currently located in the cave, etc.).

A compression based foundation having strategically paced padding to guard against the types of injuries most usually sustained during obstacle course racing is provided. Also provided is an energy supplement storage garment where energy supplements are within easy reach during active racing conditions.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a toy wherein a player manipulates a levitated object through an obstacle course. Furthermore, the present invention allows the player to design and build the obstacle course. The toy may include a playing field having a plurality of mounting stations distributed along a pathway and a plurality of obstacles adapted to interchangeably engage the mounting stations. A levitation mechanism may be adapted to produce an air stream and move the air stream along the pathway. In addition, the toy may further include a controller adapted to control movement of the air stream along the pathway.

A play apparatus has plural types of elevated equipment, namely a ropes course and a zip coaster. Both types of elevated equipment have respective user safety supports that extend along the respective equipment and receive a safety harness worn by a user. The user need not change safety harnesses to use the different types of equipment. The entry and exit locations for the elevated equipment are in a common area elevated above the ground. A third type of equipment, namely an obstacle course, is located under and above the common area.

The invention discloses a method and device for calculating the course angle of an obstacle based on time synchronization. Wherein, the method includes: obtaining a heading angle calculation model, wherein the heading angle calculation model is obtained by training the historical data of the heading angle yaw value; sensing obstacles through a sensing device to obtain heading angle perception data; according to the heading angle The angle perception data and the heading angle calculation model are used to generate a first heading angle calculation result; and the verification operation of the synchronization time stamp is performed on the heading angle calculation result to obtain a second heading angle calculation result. The invention solves the problem that in the perception detection algorithm of the prior art, it is difficult to calculate the yaw angle of obstacles using image perception, and the result is also difficult to be accurate; it is not easy to calculate the yaw angle of obstacles accurately by using the traditional point cloud clustering algorithm , and stability cannot be guaranteed. Secondly, the calculation of the obstacle heading angle also involves the own vehicle heading angle output by the inertial navigation of the own vehicle, the calibration results of the inertial navigation and perception sensors, and the time synchronization of the sensors, which is a technical problem involving systematic problems of software, hardware and algorithms. .
