Method, device and system for guiding unmanned aerial vehicle to land
View Patent ↗The present disclosure provides a method, a device and a system for guiding an unmanned aerial vehicle to land. A navigation equipment on the unmanned aerial vehicle sends a landing instruction to the ground, so that a landing platform receiving the landing instruction displays a landing pattern. The navigation equipment scans image of the ground to identify the landing pattern, and guides the unmanned aerial vehicle to land at the landing pattern and land on the landing platform eventually. The landing platform displays a landing pattern according to the received instruction, and the unmanned aerial vehicle lands at the landing pattern, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle lands quickly and conveniently without extensive calculation.
1. A method for guiding an unmanned aerial vehicle to land, comprising:
sending, by a navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a landing instruction to a landing platform, wherein the landing instruction comprises a pattern identifier, so that the landing platform displays one landing pattern corresponding to the pattern identifier;
identifying, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the landing pattern corresponding to the pattern identifier, comprising
scanning, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, an image of the landing platform to identify one or more matching patterns corresponding to the pattern identifier,
determining, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, if there is only one matching pattern or if there is a plurality of matching patterns corresponding to the pattern identifier in the image of the landing platform,
using, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the matching pattern as the landing pattern when it is determined that there is only one matching pattern, and
resending, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the landing instruction to the landing platform when it is determined that there is a plurality of matching patterns, wherein the landing instruction comprises a reselected pattern identifier, so that the landing platform displays one landing pattern corresponding to the reselected pattern identifier, and the landing pattern displayed on the landing platform is adjusted by the navigation equipment according to an environment around the landing platform, thereby preventing the landing pattern from being disturbed by the environment, and helping the unmanned aerial vehicle land on the landing platform; and
guiding, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle to land at the landing pattern.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a landing confirmation information to the landing platform after the unmanned aerial vehicle lands on the landing platform, so that the landing platform cancels the display of the landing pattern.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending a landing instruction to the landing platform comprises:
sending, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the landing instruction to the landing platform after the unmanned aerial vehicle arrives at a designated area; or,
sending, by the navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the landing instruction to the landing platform after receiving information sent by the landing platform.
4. A navigation equipment for guiding an unmanned aerial vehicle to land, comprising:
a memory, configured to store instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, and the processor is configured to perform the method according to claim 1 based on the instructions stored in the memory.
5. An unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising the navigation equipment according to claim 4 .
6. An unmanned aerial vehicle navigation system, comprising:
the unmanned aerial vehicle according to claim 5 , and
a landing platform comprising
a memory, configured to store instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, and the processor is configured to perform the following steps based on the instructions stored in the memory:
receiving a landing instruction sent by a navigation equipment of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
extracting a pattern identifier from the landing instruction after receiving the landing instruction; and
displaying one landing pattern corresponding to the pattern identifier on a landing platform, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle lands at the landing pattern.
7. A computer non-transitory readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when being executed by a processor, implements the method according to claim 1 .
