CONTROL APPARATUS, BASE STATION, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18534713 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, BASE STATION, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The control apparatus described in the patent application is designed to measure distances between a target object and a distance measurement device, set a flying route for a flying object based on the measured distances, and maintain pixel resolution of an imaging apparatus mounted on the flying object while capturing images of the target object.
- Processor rotates distance measurement device attached to rotational drive apparatus
- Measures first distance between target object and device at multiple locations
- Sets flying route for flying object based on measured distances
- Controls maintenance of pixel resolution of imaging apparatus on flying object
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as aerial photography, surveillance, inspection of infrastructure, agriculture monitoring, and search and rescue operations.
Problems Solved
1. Accurate distance measurement and imaging of target objects from a flying object. 2. Maintaining pixel resolution of imaging apparatus while flying along a predetermined route.
Benefits
1. Improved accuracy in distance measurement and imaging. 2. Efficient data collection from aerial perspectives. 3. Enhanced control over flying objects for specific tasks.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Distance Measurement and Imaging Control Technology for Flying Objects" could be utilized in industries such as photography, cinematography, security, agriculture, and emergency response services.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of drones for aerial photography and surveillance purposes, but the specific control mechanism for maintaining pixel resolution of the imaging apparatus while flying along a predetermined route may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control apparatus handle obstacles or changes in the environment during flight?
The patent application does not provide details on how the control apparatus adjusts flying routes or imaging parameters in response to obstacles or environmental changes.
What is the power consumption of the control apparatus and how does it affect the flight time of the flying object?
The patent application does not mention the power requirements or the impact on flight time of the flying object when using this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control apparatus includes a processor, and a memory connected to or incorporated in the processor. The processor is configured to rotate a distance measurement device via a rotational drive apparatus to which the distance measurement device is attached, measure a first distance between a target object and the distance measurement device at a plurality of distance measurement locations of the target object via the distance measurement device, set a flying route for causing a flying object to fly along the target object based on the first distance measured for each distance measurement location, and in a case of causing the flying object to fly along the flying route and acquiring a plurality of first images by imaging a plurality of imaged regions of the target object via a first imaging apparatus mounted on the flying object, perform a control of constantly maintaining pixel resolution of the first imaging apparatus.
